News, Rumors and Opinions Monday Morning 2-20-2023

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 20 Feb. 2023

Compiled Mon. 20 Feb. 2023 12:01am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note:

On Wed. 1 Feb. US Inc.’s fiat US Dollar became officially defunct as the US financial system transitioned to the new gold/asset-backed US Note – that would take about a month to completely roll out.

In Feb. after the Global Currency Reset of 209 nations, new currency values will be one gram of gold against a nation’s currency, such as one gram of gold would be equal to one US Treasury Note, one Vietnamese Dong, or one Iraqi Dinar.

The state of Texas has declared Sovereignty and applied to Join BRICS

Central Banks were at the hub of the global Financial Collapse, with Banks Bailing in  and taking personal Savings Accounts. Bank Runs expected.

Possible Schedule:

On Mon. 20 Feb – Tues. 21 Feb: all Tiers were expected to be liquid.

On Fri. 24 Feb NESARA Law could activate.

By March 2023 most banks would likely be closed due to bankruptcy and the fiat US Dollar and UK Pound no longer being allowed to be printed, or accepted for international trade. Bank accounts already have been mirrored onto the new gold/ asset-backed Quantum Financial System, though you may want to consider withdrawing monies from your bank before they tried to confiscate it in efforts to keep afloat.

Global Currency Reset:

Update from a Sovereign to Bob Dunn, a Global Intake Officer for a Global Trade Platform: (Dunn believes this is for real): We have officially begun. USA Inc. is officially done now: All countries transitioning over to Nesara/Gesara, Republic’s & their own gold backed currencies. Sovereign contracts have started. DOD, Reno, Zurich, UST liquidity will begin Tues. 21 Feb, although all monies have been released. Next week will absolutely be the week we all receive our blessings. No turning back, no more waiting. Here we go !!

Sat. 18 Feb. Ginger via Wolverine: Tier 1 and 2 Paymasters have received funding and they are ready to roll. These Paymasters are positioned at the gate – at the starting position – awaiting the shot that kicks off the race! They can disperse liquidity (spendable money) to their groups the moment they get the green light. The Intel these folks are getting is all very positive and they are saying that next week could be monumental. Tier 1 & 2 Paymasters cannot disperse liquidity until WE in Tier 4 get notified to ready ourselves for making appointments to exchange/redemption currency/bonds. THIS is the moment the switch gets flipped and all of the Tiers 1, 2, 3 and 4 (us 4B internet group) will receive liquid (spendable) funds at this same exact time. For example, the earlier Tiers will see their account loaded electronically/digitally with asset-backed monies as soon as notifications start going out to Tier 4. It’s all gonna be instantaneous. Our notifications – if happening next week – could also be quickly following a “significant arrest” of someone high up.

Fri. 17 Feb. MarkZ: “I am still hearing we could see it sometime between the 19th and the 24th.”

Judy Note: A High Up Contact still says that all Tiers, including Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) could be liquid by Tues. 21 Feb.

Thurs. 16 Feb. MarkZ: One of my sources in Dubai who is funded by Dubai 1 and Dubai 2, say they have all their funds and are waiting for the release so they are able to spend and distribute their funds. He is a paymaster. So it could be accurate but cannot confirm 100%.

Wolverine: Tiers 1 and 2 have been paid out.

Bruce: Bond Holders have received certified letters showing that they will be receiving a black credit card for their account that would be sent to them by Federal Express on Sat. 18 Feb. and Bond Holders will have access to their account to spend the monies by Mon. 20 Feb. or Tues. 21 Feb.

Bruce: Tier 4b will be notified to set appointments on Sun. evening 19 Feb. or Monday 20 Feb. and be able to have those appointments by Tues. 21 Feb.

Militia Man   The historic event was the meetings in Washington DC.  They were all about economics...the exchange rate...reforms...Iraq moving to a private sector and all of those meetings were successful.  Everybody's in agreement...all those things happened and they happened quickly.

Pimpy   Iraq's foreign currency assets got above $90 billion dollars which is good for Iraq.  Plus they increased their holdings in gold.  Unlike Vietnam who had to use all of their foreign currency assets, while most of them, just to try to keep their currency exchange stabilized.  That's what you don't want to happen to Iraq.

The Fed Brought a Knife to an Inflation Gun Fight - Ep 873

Peter Schiff:  2-19-2023

· People who think that we've seen the worst of inflation are wrong.

· Surge in credit card debt proves labor market is weak.

 · Ronald Reagan’s tax system was the closest we’ve been to a flat tax since 1913.

 · Presidents’ Day is about honoring George Washington, not Joe Biden.

Goldilocks and Seeds of Wisdom

Thank you R.J.

R.J.:  Good afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Goldilocks posted this link and commentary and Wiley Morgan's thoughts!

I remember these conversations being had a decade ago in some of these forums.
Interesting how they are coming back around after being told we were crazy, it would never happen and we do not know what we are talking about. Highly doubtful apologies will happen but here we are -  Wiley

Are we about to begin exchanging our dinar as oil credits for oil?

Those who have been on this ride for a long period of time know this discussion was a part of the dialogue years ago.

It looks like we are about to see a means of exchange creating a link between past conversations and future expectations.

Goldilocks on what is happening around Easter-  link and commentary!

"Digital ruble payments will be launched for retail and peer-to-peer transactions, a central bank official said" in April.

With Europe and the United States completing their pilot program this month, April is shaping up to be an important month for the full engagement of the New International Payment System.

We have the BRICS Nations, the United States, and the European Nations all ready to engage the new Digital Asset Trading System collectively. This will be a full engagement of the New Global Economy.

Easter is shaping up to be more than a religious holiday. In fact, we are witnessing the Resurrection of a Global Nation itself.

2/19/2023

Independent MP Jawad Al-Yasari confirmed: The power of speculators and currency traders is delaying the government's measures to implement the new exchange rate.

He told the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA /: that despite the government's good decision regarding the exchange rate, which to some extent stopped its rapid and continuous rise, its implementation procedures are still slow.

Al-Yasari added: The strength of traders and price speculators and their continued manipulation without committing to the new price delayed the implementation of the government decision.

And he continued: The government's procedures regarding this matter are slow and unclear, which require quick and effective steps that enhance citizen confidence in official procedures. LINK

Walkingstick  [via Frank26]  They are pressing forward the new exchange rate...because everything waits for the new exchange rate - the banks, money exchangers, the budget, you name it, they all wait for the same thing - the new exchange rate.  

Sandy Ingram   Article:   "The most mysterious..What did the Iraqi delegation achieve in its visit to Washington?"  There was more about the meeting than the mainstream US press was revealing...there as a media silence surrounding the visit.  The visit lasted 6 days...this is what we do know. 1. Daily auctions are a thing 0f the past.  2...Redirecting the Iraqi energy sector away from Iran.  3...Accusations against the Iraqi banking sector that allowed the Iranian regime to evade western sanctions.  4...Money laundering... We do know there is a high level of expectation of certain tasks being completed by the Iraqi government in a short period of time.  We also know the delegation believed they could persuade the US Administration to postpone the restrictions imposed by the US Federal Reserve Bank on dollar transfers to Iraq.  Yeah, that didn't happen...the article said the recommendations for the Iraqi delegations to follow what is described as media silence and not to reveal the scenes of what was discussed behind closed doors.

Baghdad Today - Baghdad

Today, Sunday, Prime Minister Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani announced the imminent approval of the fiscal budget for 2023.

Al-Sudani told state television that the financial budget for the current year would be approved soon.

Earlier, the financial and economic adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohamed Saleh, attributed the delay in the government's submission of the 2023 budget bill to the House of Representatives so far due to the recent dollar crisis.

Saleh said in a press statement followed by (Baghdad Today), that "the government's decision to reduce the official price prompted the reformulation and restructuring of the project again according to the new official price of the dollar."

He stressed that "the budget for the year 2023 will be completely different from previous budgets, in terms of service projects and financial allocations to complete important projects that have high completion rates, and the deficit in them will be estimated, and will be filled through surplus funds from the last fiscal year."

According to parliamentary leaks, the 2023 budget is expected to be the highest in the country's history, and included in its items the largest operational part, estimated at 80 trillion dinars, including government expenses and employee salaries, while the price of a barrel of oil in the budget was set at estimated figures not exceeding $ 70.

And the Prime Minister went on, "We are constantly working on the principle of citizenship and have come a long way in overcoming the problems between Baghdad and Erbil."

He explained that "ISIS ended militarily in Iraq," adding, "We need the international community's help in recovering wanted terrorists and preventing their financing."

And he added, "My government has adopted opening a dialogue with the international coalition to determine its needs and aspects of tasks in the next stage, and to determine the number of advisers," noting that "Washington is a strategic partner for Iraq."

And between: "We have historical relations with Iran," stressing that "corruption in Iraq threatens development and reconstruction plans."

And the Prime Minister added, "We started reforming the institutions involved in pursuing corruption," adding, "We started with the method of recovering money and tracking down wanted persons, and this is happening for the first time since 2003."

And he continued, "Part of corruption finances terrorism," indicating that: closing the file of the displaced is a priority for the government.

Henig:  Al-Sudani reveals the content of 26 meetings held in Munich and stresses: Iraq's security is a guarantee for the security of the region and the world

2023-02-18 12:50

Shafaq News / Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Saturday that the security of Iraq is a guarantee of the security and stability of the region, and as a result the security of the world.

He added at the end of his participation in the Munich Security Conference at its 59th session, according to a statement by his office and reported to Shafaq News, "We clarified in the Munich Conference, our reading of the security situation in Iraq and the region, and the emphasis that the security of Iraq is a guarantee for the security and stability of the region, and as a result the security of the world

And we showed the capabilities of our security services and their escalating capabilities in pursuing terrorism and ISIS militants gangs everywhere, and that there is no ISIS on the ground and does not maintain an area, but they are defeated and terrified gangs pursued by our security services everywhere."

"We explained the importance of cooperation and exchange of information between our security agencies and security services in the countries of the region and the world, and the need to respond to Iraq in the recovery of wanted persons and those accused of terrorism cases, and we stressed an important aspect related to stopping the financing of terrorist gangs, and it has become clear to us through our intelligence that this funding comes from many countries and contributes to increasing the activity of terrorist gangs," al-Sudani said.

"Within 48 hours, we held about 26 meetings, and we received senior security officials as well as politicians at the level of prime ministers or ministers and international organizations, and we found real understanding and support and agreement with the Iraqi vision for the security and political reading of the region," the Iraqi prime minister said. Overall, during our participation in the Conference, Iraq's vision reached these important parties involved. This is a key factor in security and political understandings."

He pointed out that "his government took into account all the circumstances that Iraq has experienced since 2019, and the accompanying popular rejection of many forms of living, service and economic performance, and we were part of this stage in different locations. It is from these circumstances that the priorities of the government program were formulated, and they were not set arbitrarily, but rather an accurate diagnosis of the aspirations and hopes of the people."

"When we talk about the priority of fighting poverty, creating jobs, eliminating unemployment, improving services and implementing projects, and combating administrative and financial corruption that threatens development plans and reforming the economy, this is the talk of the street, and it affects the overall life in the country," al-Sudani said. We found that our priorities have reached the ears of all international bodies, and we are being dealt with and understood in light of these priorities."

He added by saying, "When we talk to others about financial and administrative corruption, we put in front of them the entitlement to extradition and the recovery of Iraqi funds, and this is their obligation, as most of these countries participate in international conventions and covenants on combating financial and administrative corruption, and when we talk about reforming the economy, there are financial institutions that have experience in delivering information, finding solutions and providing us with proposals to enable us to achieve this reform."

"Overall, with our prioritization and the response we found, I believe that we have achieved an important goal at the conference, and we have shortened the time that would have been wasted in meetings and correspondence that do not lead to results quickly enough," he said.

"We found clear understanding and support for our economic reforms, and we showed the participants our intention to reform the financial and banking system, provided that there is flexibility in some measures, as these reforms have been delayed for years and were supposed to be completed within the agreed period in the past two years," al-Sudani said.

"We need flexibility right now to apply the measures, not to go back to square one," he said. There is no return to distorted trade, money laundering and smuggling, and we are determined to adopt the correct standards for remittances and clean trade, which reflect Iraq's seriousness in engaging in the global financial system, and add to it indicators of reliability in dealing with trade."

The Prime Minister pointed out that "the reforms are accompanied by a social cost, and may be calculated politically that they will harm the government, but in the short term hopefully the citizen will feel their importance, and the international financial institutions in Iraq will see a country that adopts the right standards in the financial and banking system."

He concluded by saying, "Climate change, environmental impact, water scarcity, increasing the area of desertification, burning gas and its aftermath are all real problems, and they are a serious threat to the situation in Iraq, which we have put on our list of priorities, and was part of the discussions with those we met who expressed readiness to support us in addressing these environmental and climate impacts.   LINK

Frank26  I'm telling you they've launched the 2nd stage.  Don't pay attention to the budget being launched/released coming out with the new rate.  It doesn't matter.  It is going to gradually float.

Mnt Goat   Beginning of the White Paper reforms for Iraq ...The Wealth Transfer is coming…  yes it is in progress. Weeks ago the IQD was taken off the sole peg to the US dollar. Surprise, surprise…!!! ...This was done while implementing the US Treasury electronic platform. The reason for the platform was not just to curb corruption but also for Iraq to get off the US dollar. Yes, finally ditch the dollar. ...Like many changes this will take time to adjust... Then Al-Alaq implemented quickly yet another step to the process including the lock-down of an official rate of the IQD.

Paulette  ...There will be a significant amount of USD going to Iran for imports and this will continue but under the "new mechanism"...Merchants conducting Legal business can purchase USD for 1320...Who is willing to pay nearly 14% more for their imports at 1530?  The Market is clearly still filled with corruption!  The Sudani GOI is stating all the right things about taking action against the corrupt that are causing this significant difference in the official and market rates and perhaps this is how they are "smoking out" the corrupt.  Time will Tell...it seems the clock is ticking.

The EU is making moves to track down Russia's money, forcing banks to reveal information on Russian central bank assets. In fact, this might be part of a plan to confiscate the assets for Ukraine's rebuilding.

This is a dangerous move that opens up Pandora's box to unintended consequences and accelerate de-dollarization like never before.

Goldilocks:"Things are Changing from an ETF to an ETC Global Economy" 2-18-2023

Goldilocks and Seeds of Wisdom

Thanks for sending this R.J.

R.J.:  Goldi posted several links with commentary late last night followed by two more comments.

Goldilocks:  Things are changing rapidly. We are moving from an ETF to an ETC Global Economy.

ETF is an exchange-traded fund. This asset exchanges against the basket of other assets called securities.

ETC is an exchange-traded commodity. An ETC is hedged by a physical commodity like gold.

If you take a good look at these new securities traded through the Deutsche Bank, you will notice they are trading ETC Securities utilizing Gold, Silver and Rhodium.

The Deutsche Bank reaches into every Bank around the world, and they are liquidating their/our Financial System under a gold mandate.

As this move reaches out into the global banking system, we are witnessing the beginning steps of liquidating the global economy with asset-based transactions with real values.

Yes, a standard is beginning to be set.

Member:  Good Morning Mark Z and Beautiful Patriot Family.

MZ: Today is going to be a bit different. We have CBD gurus at first for about 30 minutes then I will jump into the news.

CBD Gurus share information for the first 30 minutes then Mark comes back on:

MZ: Not a whole lot of news coming out of Iraq , but that is expected. The government shut everything down there for a national holiday on Thursday …then off on Friday and Saturday which is their normal weekend.

MZ: We have heard that the budget is moving forward and was submitted…this is positive…

MZ: But more impressive than that is the continued confirmations from tier 1 and tier 2.

MZ: Your breakdown on your tiers:

Tier1 is governments. So we are seeing money moving at those levels.

Tier 2 is military and groups that were assembled for this RV. So if you are in a group with the US treasury ect…those are moving earlier as well

(They do not need Mr. C to enter codes for the new asset backed currency until the crossover between tier 3 and tier 4)

Tier 3 is humanitarian and groups who have already turned in their currencies and have SKR’s (Safe Keeping Receipts) These are large church groups from the Indian Nations, wounded warriors ect…….and “special groups”

Tier 4a is internet groups. Tier 4a are individuals who have deposited currencies with large aggregated groups with paymasters. They also have SKR’s

Tier 4b is all of you all who are listening now….who have not turned your currencies in yet…..who are following events on dinar sites….

Tier 5 is basically those in the general public who will walk into banks …..that may have been gifted currency…have a few bills here and there…not following the dinar currency news.  Who will get street rated when they go into exchange.

Mod: There are 5 Tiers of folks Exchanging. Tier 1-governments and royalty Tier 2-whales-elite with platforms of currency, corporations, etc. Tier 3-Admirals Group, American Indians, CMKX, large church groups (like the Mormons), etc. Tier 4-all the hundreds of thousands paying attention to intel - internet groups(all of us). Tier 5- those who never paid attn - the general public.

MZ: I am not hearing anything new on CMKX or PP’s. They are referring to them as “special groups” that are being compensated…like Omego PP’s , Pickford Farm Claims, heritage PP’s and those kind of things. So these are now called “special groups”

MZ: I am hearing the F&Ps (fines and penalties) for those have been pulled together for launch….but I have no idea on timing.

MZ: I do know that those who are involved at redemption centers will be working on Monday. Whether or not its behind the scenes work or will it be involving us…I do not know.  It could be updates and changes in procedures training…..I do not know

Member: Have you heard anything on your SKR?

MZ: I have an SKR in tier 3…They are waiting for release….I keep hearing they are positioned and money is in place. Our updates are we are right on the cusp of this happening and we are very close. And the next communication should be our final instructions.

Member: Hey Mark, what’s the news with Interpol? Is Iraq going to work with them?

Member: The PM is working with Interpol on corruption and returning stolen funds back to Iraq….read that article today

MZ: Positive news from Iraq is that the CBI could pull the trigger at anytime….and they do love their 3 day weekends.But so far to date…I have been disappointed in 3 day weekends…..hoping this will change.  

Member: There's a rumor that tier 3 was funded. Is this true?

MZ: We are seeing real money movement in real tiers so this is exciting.

Member:  This morning on Charlie's insider call, Simon said, next week was going to be exciting! We shall see!

CandyKisses:  Parliamentary Finance reveals the results of the visit of the Iraqi delegation to Washington

Information / Baghdad .. 

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Faisal Al-Naeli, revealed, on Saturday, the results achieved by the Iraqi delegation during his visit to Washington, noting that the delegation discussed with Washington lifting the restrictions imposed by the US Federal Bank on Iraq. 

Al-Naeli said in an interview with Al-Maalouma agency, that "the Iraqi delegation's visit to Washington came to come to an understanding about the dollar crisis," adding that "the delegation discussed with Washington lifting the restrictions imposed by the US Federal Bank on Iraq," and pointed out that "the negotiations reached multiple agreements. 

" This led to the Iraqi government being able to reduce the dollar in the last period. 
He continued, "The Federal Bank's actions restricted the movement of the dollar and delayed money transfers from the Central Bank to banks abroad." 

A member of the Fatah Alliance, Ali Fatlawi, has accused the American side of playing on the chord of hitting the economy in order to achieve and implement its policies, pointing out that America is behind raising the value of the dollar currency in the Iraqi markets in order to achieve his goals.

CandyKisses:  Report: Erbil resorts to Paris to pressure Baghdad and the latter is unable to implement its pledges

Baghdad - Nas   

The London-based newspaper "Al-Arab" suggested that Erbil needs a "dose" of external support to pressure Baghdad on reaching a settlement on the outstanding files between them, especially since Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani does not seem able to translate his pledges into words in light of his lack of practical decision-making authority, as she put it.    

The newspaper stated in a report followed by "NAS", (February 18, 2023), that "Iraqi political circles say that the visit of the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, to Paris aims to request French mediation after the difficulty of betting on internal solutions to end the outstanding files between Erbil and Baghdad."  

The report reads as follows:   

Circles say that the Kurdistan Regional Government, led by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), is trying to avoid options that may be painful, and have negative repercussions, such as resorting to withdrawal from the political process in Iraq, as this option will not stop at its repercussions on the federal government but will also have a cost on the region.  

The same circles indicate that the KRG is betting on the good relations between Paris and Baghdad, and more importantly, there is a French interest in settling differences between Erbil and the federal government to boost its energy investments in Kurdistan.    

Disagreements between Baghdad and Erbil over the management of energy resources in the Kurdistan regions have alienated foreign investors and prompted a number of Western companies to suspend their activities in the region.    

During his visit to Paris, which began on Thursday and continued until Friday, Barzani met with French President Emmanuel Macron, where the two sides stressed the importance of solving the problems between Kurdistan and the federal government radically and on the basis of the constitution and protecting the security and stability of the region.  

The President of the Regional Government also met with the President of the French Senate, Gérard Larch, and held a meeting with a number of business owners, investors, traders and representatives of a group of French companies.  

During the meeting, which was held Friday at the headquarters of the French businessmen association "MEDEF", Barzani urged French companies to increase their investments in the region, expressing his government's readiness to provide all forms of coordination and cooperation in this regard.  

The newspaper's observers believe that talk about the possibility of France playing the role of mediator between Baghdad and Erbil has been on the table for some time, but the question remains about its ability to achieve any breakthrough unless accompanied by the will of both the Kurdish and Iraqi sides, which is not yet available.  

Observers of the French newspaper report said that the main problem lies in the fact that the coordination framework, which represents the political umbrella of the pro-Iranian forces and is the most powerful party currently in the equation of governance in Iraq, does not seem ready or has a real desire for settlement, which is reflected in its coup against the agreements it concluded with the Kurdistan Democratic Party, which led to the end of the political crisis in Iraq, which lasted for about a year, and resulted in the formation of a government led by Muhammad Shia al-Sudani.  

Three Kurdish officials said the agreements included ending the long-running dispute over budget transfers to Erbil and sharing oil revenues between the central government and Kurdistan.  

Observers point out that the Iraqi prime minister, who has already pledged to resolve differences with the region, does not actually have the authority to decide on them, as the decision is mainly due to the coordination framework and behind it Iran, which does not hide hostility to the region and has previously launched rocket attacks on it under the pretext of harboring armed opponents.   

Observers say that the KDP still maintains the chances of achieving a political breakthrough with Baghdad, but its patience is running out as contentious issues are significantly affecting the economic situation within the region, and the party may find itself unable to pay the salaries of government employees in full after recent decisions by the Federal Court.  

According to two Iraqi lawmakers and a Kurdish government official, the Democratic Party could withdraw its support for the federal government if Sudanese fails to deliver on its pledges to resolve existing conflicts.  

A Democratic Party official said after forming the government last year that the Kurds wanted to end the stalemate and therefore supported Sudan's government, but if the other side failed to deliver what was required of it, they would withdraw that support.    

Democratic Party spokesman Shawan Taha said: "There are some political forces that are trying to break our will and we reject this and we will not allow it."  

In January, Iraq's Federal Supreme Court ruled that Baghdad government orders to transfer funds to the KRG to pay salaries for 2021 and 2022 were illegal because they violated Iraq's budget law.  

An adviser, speaking on condition of anonymity, said al-Sudani had tasked the cabinet's legal team with finding a solution to allow salary transfers without violating the court's ruling.  

Other politicians in al-Sudani's camp see escalation with the Kurds by using such court rulings as a necessary political tactic to give him a stronger negotiating position, according to members of parliament.    

But the KRG spokesman remains hopeful that a compromise can be reached. He noted that the KRG delegation would visit Baghdad again on Sunday. Next  

He said that there are obstacles in the way of reaching an agreement with Baghdad, but there is a serious and real intention to reach an agreement on the part of the Kurdistan Regional Government and that it also feels the seriousness of the Sudanese in efforts to resolve those obstacles.  

It seemed clear that the spokesman for the Kurdish government is seeking to maintain a degree of positivity to continue the rounds of negotiations with Baghdad, although observers are skeptical that a breakthrough can occur unless accompanied by external impulse.
