Clare:  Parliamentary clarification: What is the purpose of spreading rumors about employees' salaries not being secured?

5/3/2025   - Baghdad  

Head of the Irada bloc, MP Hanan al-Fatlawi, confirmed on Saturday that attempts to spread rumors about unpaid salaries constitute early election propaganda. Al-Fatlawi tweeted on the "X" platform:

"Slogan merchants, look for other merchandise. Attempts to spread rumors about the failure to secure salaries represent early election propaganda that is not based on reality.

The government is committed to paying salaries and has not announced a deficit in this regard."

She continued: "The continuation of reconstruction projects and strengthening Iraq's regional position are tangible steps to the credit of the government, and they disturb those who have grown accustomed to trading in slogans instead of offering solutions." LINK   

Clare:  This week, Al-Sudani will head to Kirkuk to inaugurate the largest oil refinery

5/3/2025

An informed source in Kirkuk Governorate revealed on Saturday that Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani intends to visit the governorate this week to lay the foundation stone for the largest investment oil refinery in Kirkuk and inaugurate several service and development projects.

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The visit is expected to take place over the next two days, starting Monday, and will include the inauguration of the Kirkuk Investment Refinery Project, the largest of its kind in the province, in addition to the opening of other projects in various sectors."

He added, "During his visit, the Prime Minister will meet with officials from the North Oil Company to review the progress of work and follow up on the details of the joint contract between the company and its British counterpart, BP, as well as discuss ways to develop the province's energy infrastructure."

This visit comes as part of the federal government's efforts to support investment in the energy sector and enhance economic development in oil-producing provinces.

Two Kirkuk officials revealed new details on Friday (January 31, 2025) regarding the province's new refinery project, confirming that the contract is worth $2 billion and that its equipment is being supplied by the American company UOP .

Kirkuk Governor's Advisor for Investment Affairs, Ali Hammadi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The signing of the Kirkuk Governorate administration, represented by Governor Rebwar Taha Mustafa, of the contract to implement the construction of the Kirkuk oil refinery will contribute significantly to meeting the governorate's needs for gasoline and fuel."

He added, "The project contract is valued at $2 billion, with an implementation period of two to three years. The project will also provide approximately 3,000 job opportunities for Kirkuk residents." He indicated that "the coming period will witness the project's entry into force after the completion of the necessary procedures for handing over the project land to the company."

The project is part of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's plans and programs to meet the country's domestic demand for petroleum products and export the surplus through investment refinery projects.

The refinery is scheduled to produce 70,000 barrels per day of high-quality petroleum derivatives, according to government statements.

Earlier, the director of Rania Energy and Oil Company, Jalal Haj Ahmed, told Shafaq News Agency, "The company's signing of the contract with the Kirkuk administration is an important step, as the company will work to establish the refinery according to international specifications and adhere to the deadlines for its operation. The refinery will be equipped by the large American company UOP ." He indicated that "the equipment and supplies will be the first of their kind and environmentally friendly."

He added, "Once implemented, the project will provide approximately 3,000 job opportunities for Kirkuk residents across all sectors."

Kirkuk Governor Rebwar Taha Mustafa also announced last Thursday that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and the federal Ministry of Oil had approved the construction of the province's first oil refinery.

On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil announced its intention to build a new oil refinery in Kirkuk and boost oil production from existing fields.  LINK

Militia Man  Iraq is going to go to a global level and I think we all realize they haven't done it at 1310 to 1 US dollar.  They're going to have a real effective exchange rate that has freedom of capital movement across borders...Iraq is ready to go.  They're just now openly talking about it...I hope you guys are excited as I am.

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:
They told us year ago that the black market would have to be killed first and now they keep saying the remaining 5% of the cash payment from imports will be handled by our banks not out in the black market...Thus this will put an end to the black market.  

Silver's Move Will Shock Investors | Michael Oliver

Michael Oliver emphasizes that silver is poised for a major breakout after a year of sideways price action and a recent sharp correction.

He also points to the silver-to-gold ratio being historically low, signaling silver is extremely undervalued relative to gold. Overall, he believes silver is set to outperform and could deliver dramatic gains in the coming months.

Something is Unfolding Behind Closed Doors

589bull:  5-3-2025

Something is unfolding. Not in the headlines—but behind closed doors.

Vaults are opening.
Systems are failing.
Players are being exposed.

Behind the scenes:

• A hostile entrance into the Federal Reserve
• An invisible war over the monetary future
• The collapse of a regime that ruled in silence for a century
• And the rise of a system built on truth, speed, and sovereign value

Musk. Ripple. Treasuries. Tokenized power. This is global reckoning.

You’re watching history before it’s public.

CHAPTER ONE: The Vault Coming soon.

Gold Telegraph: BBREAKING NEWS BILLIONAIRE ELON MUSK IS CONSIDERING SENDING HIS GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY TEAM TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE

Great news. @elonmusk What about the livestream of Fort Knox?

If Ripple really buys out Circle, that’s a serious power move. Not just adding a stablecoin—but absorbing a key piece of the new financial system.

USDC already has regulatory traction. XRP already has the rails. Put them under one roof and you’ve got real-time liquidity, settlement, and compliance handled without touching legacy systems.

No more partnerships. No more waiting.

Ripple’s locking down everything that matters before the switch flips.

XRP isn’t just a token in this scenario. It’s leverage. Strategic as it gets.

Bruce  [via Judy Byington]  Everything was triggered to start...Thurs. 1 May...The latest information was that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) notifications should come out over the weekend, with appointments starting on Tues. 6 May. All exchanges are to be finished by Sat. 31 May 2025.

Frank26  We're looking for the blessing to occur.  I'm looking for it IMO in 2 weeks to 2 months.

Militia Man  If Iraq is going to make an adjustment to her exchange rate it's going to have an impact on her neighbors.  They're going to need to know what's going on.  

Frank26  They are constantly hinting of a new exchange rate but with all sincerity, enough is enough. Release the kraken man!

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 5-1-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 5-1-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome, everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, May 1st and you're listening to the big call, happy May 1, May Day. That's right, Mayday. Happy, May Day to everyone all over the globe, wherever you're listening. Thank you for tuning in. We're gonna have a wonderful call tonight. I'm looking forward to it, as we always do,

All right, let's go into where we are in the Intel  - I was going to mention something else about well, let me just get into it, and I hope I can remember, but Sue read, as far as a what was really a prayer request was about the idea of the woman had lost her email, we thought, and maybe wasn't sure how she would be notified by email with the 800 numbers, etc.

Let's go over that    Now, when you bought your currency, if you went through a currency dealer or even one of the online vendors of currencies, you had, in most cases, give your name, your email and a ship to address, so they have all that they've captured that they've got emails, from what we understand from all the Zim holders, except, unless you're gifted zim, they may or may not know that you have it. I'm going to bet that they do, maybe in 50% of the cases, if you're gifted zim, they don't know about it. So what I think, for Delseene, you're curious as to how you get notified.

 My point is those emails from all of the vendors, the currency dealers, etc, were forwarded to Wells Fargo, well through the Treasury to Wells Fargo and so Wells Fargo built out an email list where they would send their email notification with the toll free number, which we assume is an 800 number to go out to everybody that they have an email for.

Well, what if they don't have your email, or what if your email changed, or we bought the currency mine sure did - Well, that's where we're here to pick up slack. They asked us on the big call to collect emails from people that want to get the 800 numbers sent out to them.

So we have that when you sign up and register your email on big call universe . You are in the system, you will get an email with the toll free number once we have it. We're also going to put the toll free number on the landing page of big call universe.com when we get it, and Bob will either have it done by Raleigh or someone, and put it out there so it's visible on our landing page of big call universe.com, so those are two ways that you're going to receive it.

 I'm not sure if they I know they wanted me to put it out on the call, but since I don't have it tonight and our next call is not till Tuesday, we may not obviously be able to put it out, other than on the website, out in an email to you, which we will surely do if it goes between now and Tuesday, and I'll just put in the email so so they'll see basically, we'll pick you up if you don't get an email from them, or if I if I understood you right, and Sue. If you're there, you'd tell me, did you lose your wallet and your ID, your photo ID and all that stuff. Did you? Yeah?

Okay, that's Yes. May I also Yeah, just I'm not going to be able people cannot send integrated minds how to get in touch with you, or no questions about this to integrated minds. I just have to make that really clear, because we won't be answering them. That's right, that's right. I just hit the dead, dead letter file.

So now you do need a photo ID, which would be a driver's license or student ID, or government issued ID, or obviously a passport, and there's a new passport card that you can get also that I'm just barely familiar with, but it has an ID picture on it as well.

They want to see that, and they want to know that you have a physical address. They have all of that for most of us, but at the same time, you need to consider you might even need this, but bring a utility bill if you have it that will show that you have a physical address, a place where you live. Utility bill could be natural gas bill could be an electric bill. You can use your cell phone bill any of those three. I might take one or two of those, but they pretty much know who we are.

 It's just that photo ID allows them to say, yeah, that's, that's who you are. We've got you and the KYC to know your customer part of exchange in the very beginning, probably won't take very long at all for them to identify you as you  -- so don't worry about that, but try to get a photo ID. Even if you have to get a replacement driver's license or whatever you had, they'll see have that ready to go.

Let's see, does that answer your question? I think it did. Yeah, okay, yeah. And let's see what else. Let's keep going. Thank you, Sue. Let's keep going with where we are. We have see where are we going to go with this next Okay, there were two major announcements or things that needed to happen by yesterday that did happen, and what those are or were are, one was the

Thank you, Sue. Let's keep going with where we are. We have see where are we going to go with this next Okay, there were two announcements or things that needed to happen by yesterday that did happen, and what those are or were are, one was the thing with Iran, they were trying to come up with creating the type of fuel that could be used in the nuclear device.

They had an above ground destination, and they had a below ground, about 60 feet below ground, and maybe a third one  --  Well, we took those out a few days ago. Might have used the rod of God with one that was 60 feet underground. The particulars. All I know is that that taking out of those installations prompted Iran to say, Okay, you won't fund any more terrorist activity against Israel through Hamas, Israel, etc.

And that was, was the foundation for a peace agreement in the middle east  and that in principle, within place, in principle, I don't know if all the t’s have been crossed and I's been dotted yet, but that was one thing that we were looking for yesterday, and we did get evidence that it had occurred.

The other thing was the agreement that President Trump made with with Zelensky from the Ukraine to begin to look into mining, precious metals, gems, and I think also oil and gas in the Ukraine.

 And then we would have people there, our people there. And I think as a result of that, Russia should also agree with a three day cease fire and hopefully it'll be extended, indefinitely, but that other agreement for us to get in as the United States and have a presence in Ukraine for the purpose of mining precious metals and gems – that kind of thing in Ukraine, was also inked yesterday, those two things  put us in a position where everything should get started for us.

The other thing that had to happen with those two countries were not fully integrated into the quantum financial system. So that had to occur so they could be part of everything moving forward from our new banking system point of view.   I believe they're supposed to be fully integrated by tomorrow night, which is Friday night, that is in process.

Let's see what else is out there now.  Now there have been overtures that suggested that dinar and or Dong exchanges have already started in the Far East, we tried to get confirmation on that through our contact that live there, and we believe that is partially true, but we don't we cannot confirm it yet

 Now watch me after I get off a big call tonight, and a half hour later, I can get it confirmed. But as of right now, its NOT confirmed,   but it looked like yes it may have started. And remember, in the old days, we talked about this coming from East to West, well, guess what?  We are the West  -- East would obviously be the Far East.

So they may have started, and it's working its way to us . The most recent information tells us that everything was triggered to start this global currency reset an RV today, at 2pm Eastern Daylight Time, that everything was started at two o'clock today.

And now, what does that mean for us. I believe what it means is that we are looking to get our notifications for tier 4B the Internet Group and I would say it probably would apply to tier 4A, which is the admirals groups  - those notifications would come out over the weekend – and the very latest update  I’ve heard since then and was that not only   notifications to come out  but exchanges to start by Tuesday morning –

So this could be a very exciting weekend to get our notifications  set our appointments - But personally, I don't know that we'd be able to set appointments before Monday. Don't envision us getting notified maybe Sunday and set appointments on Monday to begin on Tuesday.

 I'm thinking that's the most likely scenario, because you got to really need to have personnel in the redemption center when we call to set appointment, because even though we're using an automated call center initially to make our appointments, the call gets routed to two ways. Gets routed to the redemption center that's based on our zip code that we enter, or they actually give you a different phone number to call to go direct to that redemption center.

Now, I think in most cases, the system is set up to route your call to that redemption center based on the zip code that you enter, letting them know, say what that is closest to you, either where you live or where you're, where you want to do your exchange, those three options you put a put in, and they know that's the redemption center closest to that, that you want to exchange.

So that should answer that question. Now, remember, when you have an appointment  time, my understanding is we'll have 40  minutes to get our exchanges done in that 40 minute period, that appointment period, they don't expect us to go over. Obviously you could finish sooner.

If you have two dinar notes, or you've got three, zim, three dong notes whatever, it won't take that long to count and verify – like 20 seconds  so you'll be moving through the system more quickly, like I mentioned last Tuesday, they have our names printed on your quantum card already and you say, Well, how do they know? They know?

Well, they're making that assumption based on the fact that your zip code because they know roughly where you live.  You will be using xyz location -  The Redemption center, and they'll have your they will have your quantum card already knocked out for you to enter your biometric fingerprint – thumb print  whichever it is, and then put in your new username and password for that quantum card, put your 5 digit pin code in, and then put your email and your email password in so that you can have that's what you need to get online, if you will, with your quantum account.

Your quantum account is a US Treasury account that allows you to keep your money safe, even though it's not only interest, but you can move that money into your bank account, or bank accounts, plural, with that card, that's the only reason, and it's designed so that you do it privately. The bank that you have in your current account, your neighbors don't know. Nobody knows unless you let them watch your transaction, which I highly recommend you don't do - keep it private.

Okay, all right, so we know roughly when we're supposed to start. We also know when we're supposed to end. Because here it is, the first of May, all exchanges should be completed. Centers by the end of May, and redemption centers will be closed on or before the last day of May, which is may 31 Saturday, May 31 so that tells you this is a finite exchange period.

The rates have been populating but they are solid enough on the screens on redemption center screens, plus, really, the currencies are there and what they are now. Banks are not supposed to give bank screen rates. I really could care less about bank screen rates. I care more about redemption center rates, and I know roughly what those are going to be, very, very good.

The least of your worries is the rate, absolutely, if you're a zim holder and you don't have projects any on you, because you should have, you should have a project or multiple projects, that you can present during the consider, in three to five minutes. It used to be five to eight minutes.

Maybe we don't get eight minutes, but you can give them the gist of legal copy that you want to do so they can enter that and have your project information ready, and that way, you know they will try to collaborate if other people have have identical they may try to ask you to collaborate on those, just so we'll have to see how that one goes.

You know, guys, we've been waiting a while for this, and I know it's tried our patience, but I've looked at it like a blessing. I know God chose me for this, to do this, and I think it's really the best 14 years of my time, and I'm happy to have been able to do that and offer that to you. Now, let's see if there's anything else. Yeah, I want to say that it was both our treasury.

I call it dissent from it's probably pronounced essence, but I like the scent. Why the scent and Dr Ben Carson were involved in releasing the trigger for this now, make on autopilot may involve algorithms, but we understand that it has started as of two o'clock this afternoon on this Thursday, the first of May.

And I know bondholders looking at final emails telling them when they can have access to their funds, and hopefully that happens when they get access Monday or Tuesday, I think we're going to end up getting notifications between Sunday and Monday, even though it’s a weekend thing it could be tomorrow, we could get something tomorrow.

And speaking of tomorrow, which is may 2 we did hear from our med bed guy, who's over all the med beds nationally, and really also is involved in international as well. He said to us last Saturday that the med beds would be ready to go starting tomorrow may 2. Now we're not ready for them yet because we haven't exchanged yet, but they'll be ready when we're ready. That's the point.

They're going to be ready for us to get in pretty soon after the more dire need you are, if you're a zim holder, that counts for you, and that way you should be able to get in fairly shortly after your exchange. Okay, I've been told about three days after I exchange, so hopefully that'll be good. I'll get my site back everything else that I need to have done.

All right, so that's pretty much everything I wanted to say, I think tonight,

All right. Well, thanks, everybody. big call universe, all of y'all, all y'all that have been listening to they call for these 14 years. 14 years, that's right. So everybody have a wonderful weekend. Let's see what happens for this first don't forget, Cinco de Mayo de Luis dayco de Mayo.

But enjoy your favorite Mexican restaurant and have a nice Cinco de Mayo which is not a real holiday. Enjoy it, enjoy the festivities -  Maybe that'll be the first opportunity we have to actually celebrate what it is we're receiving. All right, so have a great weekend. You guys, we will see you Tuesday night - maybe for a celebration call , okay?

 All right, everybody. Have a great weekend

How Much Inheritance Will Ruin Your Kid?

How Much Inheritance Will Ruin Your Kid?

How Generational Wealth Impacts Productivity And Happiness

Sean Kernan

When my family lived near the Cavalier Country Club in Virginia Beach, we were the token middle-class family in the neighborhood. Many of the houses had hedged bushes, carefully carved into eccentric geometric shapes, and sports cars sitting unashamed in their driveway, announcing their owner’s achievements to all.

And despite this clear class divide, I got along great with the boys around me. Some were only 10, but had fathers that were entirely grey haired, and mothers who looked barely out of high school. I noticed the peculiarity of it but never connected the dots on what these unions meant.

Some of these boys were well-adjusted and great. Others were quite spoiled, and I often wonder what came of them. They were agitated and disobedient in school, often getting into fights on the playground.

Had wealth bestowed a sense of privilege upon them? Did they already feel exempt from the rules and any acts of discipline?

Per the Global Health Report for 2023, the United States has 22.7 million millionaires (38.2% of the global total, with China in second at 10.2%). Many of these people are well past one million and cruising into eight and nine figures of net worth. And it leaves us with an interesting predicament: Many scions of vast fortunes are quite young.

And while this might not be a problem many of you sympathize with, it should nevertheless invoke thought about how your worldly assets should be addressed with your children, or the lack thereof.

How should we think about our inheritance?

Lynn Chen-Zhang’s 8-year-old son came home from school one day and said a student asked him, “Why do you study so hard?”

Classmates were saying his parents were rich, so there was no need to work so hard. Her son was on to something. Their father, Charles Chen-Zhang, owns one of the largest financial advisory firms in the country and was already a known philanthropist.

Realizing these questions were continuing, as classmates knew of their family (mainly through gossiping parents), the Chen-Zhangs decided to sit their children down and have the money talk.

They told their two boys, “We’ll support you both in getting as much education as you’d like, but from then on, you are on your own.” Which translated to zero inheritance.

Whether this was a scare tactic or a true threat, they worked. Both sons are now thriving in their finance careers, independent of their father’s company.

This trend is common. I spoke with a peer, Matthew, who is 49 and runs a successful medium-sized business which he just sold for a substantial sum. He told me, “My children don’t even know how much money I just made. Nor do I intend to let them know.” Of note, he lives a humble life and does not flash his wealth by any means.

But most parents don’t face this severe of a dilemma. The average inheritance in the US is “only” $46,200 per census data, with 85% of inheritances being below $250,000. Which isn’t nothing.

The game changes with the ultra-wealthy

Gold Telegraph: The World has Quietly Lived through a Monetary Revolution

5-2-2025

Over the past 55 years, the world has quietly lived through a monetary revolution.

What began in 1971 as a “temporary” suspension of the dollar’s convertibility into gold, declared by President Nixon… became a permanent departure from Bretton Woods, replacing gold-backed stability with a floating fiat experiment tied to oil:

The petrodollar.

It was never meant to last.

Even Paul Volcker, who helped design the suspension, believed it would be short-lived.

Instead, it became the foundation of today’s system… a system that has fueled an unprecedented explosion of global debt and left nations at the mercy of a currency no longer anchored to anything real.

We’re living inside a monetary experiment… and history shows these always end the same way.

People know my position, I have been clear about it for years.

But a new article is on the way, unpacking Scott Bessent’s latest comments and the shifting role of the petrodollar.

The U.S. dollar is the current anchor of the international monetary system.

But think about this:

Nations are propping up a currency that holds immense privilege, yet that anchor has become a weapon.

It can freeze your sovereign assets, crush your economy, and finance itself through unlimited money printing… all while sitting on a mountain of record-breaking debt.

Do you think the majority of nations are happy about this?

The United States Treasury Secretary says bond yields are signaling it’s time for the Federal Reserve to cut rates. This is getting very entertaining.

BREAKING NEWS: JAPAN’S FINANCE MINISTER SAID THAT THE COUNTRY’S US TREASURY HOLDINGS COULD BE A CARD IN ITS TRADE NEGOTIATIONS

Boom. There it is… Nobody should act surprised.

“It does exist as a card, said Kato, speaking on a TV Tokyo program Friday. Whether or not we use that card is a different decision…”

Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-01/japan-s-kato-says-us-treasury-holdings-could-be-negotiation-card

Former Treasury Secretary and Fed Chair Janet Yellen has joined the advisory board of a climate-focused venture capital firm. You can’t make this stuff up. The jokes write themselves.

The largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasuries just signalled it might weaponize its $1 trillion stockpile in trade talks. This is a big warning s**t. This should be the day’s biggest story, but many are just glossing over it.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Mr Sammy says Alaq is the man.  He was brought back to Iraq to run the CBI...And he was brought back to control the rate.  He worked with Shabibi before his health went bad.  Alaq knows the plan... FRANK:  Thank you Mr. Sammy.  I'm going to give in because you guys are there.  He will release the new exchange rate therefore he's in control but he will release it when it is given to him.  FIREFLY:  ...That's why they [Parliament] have tried for so long to get Alaq out of his job.  They know he's working on changing the rate.

Militia Man  What we have seen so far in the news is...all positive, nothing that's considered to be worrisome as far as I can see.  The tone from Washington has been positive.  They've been talking about support...for Iraq's monetary reforms by the largest financial institutions in the world - United States Treasury, Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, IFC.  The focus has been about security, stability, sustainability, partnerships with the public and private sectors, investment opportunities...  

1st July - Gold Liberation Day - LFTV Ep 221

Kinesis Money:  5-2-2025

 As China steps up physical gold acquisition and global FX markets eclipse COMEX in both credibility and scale, July’s compliance deadline threatens to shift gold’s pricing power eastward, marking a structural break from Western dominance.

RV Thoughts From 589Bull 5-2-2025

This is Bretton Woods 2.0 but Silent

589bull:   5-2-2025

JUST IN: Trump says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is negotiating new trade deals with 200 countries.

There aren’t even 200 countries—so what’s really going on? This isn’t a trade update. This is a signal: the U.S. is rebooting the global financial system.

Scott Bessent isn’t a bureaucrat. He’s a former Soros lieutenant turned nationalist asset manager. Now he’s at the Treasury, shaking hands with the planet—and writing a new playbook.

Trade deals = cover.
Monetary realignment = mission.

Expect this to include:
• Commodity-backed agreements
• Gold-denominated settlement layers
• Currency revaluations (IQD, VND, etc.)
• Digital rails for cross-border payments
• A new U.S.-anchored FX standard

This is Bretton Woods 2.0… but silent.

Trump isn’t bluffing. He’s locking the U.S. into 200 bilateral levers for liquidity control. You’re watching the scaffolding of a new world economy being bolted together in real time. The headlines won’t say it.

But we see it.

What’s the Rate Gonna be?

589bull:   5-2-2025

Everyone always asks: “What’s the rate gonna be?”

I usually don’t go there, but with everything we’re seeing—the coordination, the U.S. banking moves, the Fed delays—it’s worth laying it out.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s possible, from conservative to bullish:

Conservative Range:
$0.01 – $0.10 USD per IQD

Would be framed as a “managed float” or gradual revaluation. Helps Iraq slowly restore trust in the currency. Fits IMF-style baby steps. But honestly? Doesn’t match the intensity of what we’re seeing right now.

Mid-Range (Realignment):
$0.30 – $0.50 per IQD

This range is more realistic if Iraq is re-entering Forex with intent. Backed by oil, gold reserves, strong budget activity, and trade growth. Also high enough to shift regional dynamics, but low enough to stabilize.

Bullish Range:
$1.00 – $3.00 per IQD

This would be a full-blown reset play. Parity with the dollar or higher. Symbolic. Strategic. Global. Would explain why the U.S. is micromanaging liquidity, timing, and banking integrations.

Could it go higher? Only under a controlled redemption window or tiered payout model. We’re talking geopolitical restructuring, asset backing, BRICS pushback, and U.S. leverage in play.

But to be clear: anything over $3 would require a system the public hasn’t fully seen yet.

Final thought: You don’t build this much coordination just to bump from 1310 to 1190. This feels bigger—and whatever the number is, it’s gonna shock a lot of people.

So yeah, I usually don’t guess. But right now? Feels like time to pay attention.

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 Friday Morning to all . This week just flew by……..

Member: I hope we have good RV/financial news today

MZ: This conference has been a very good time. Got to meet and send time with a lot of people. It was great to connect with so many in person…..Thank you for understanding why I could not do a podcast last night

Member: We missed you Mark, but so happy for you to have this great opportunity

MZ: I am still drawing a blank from my one bond contact with the bank wire. Still waiting to see if he got spendable dollars. I think this is a great sign because he told me he wasn’t going to answer if he was paid.

MZ: I have heard that others have been paid. But no confirmation from a personal source. I don’t think they have hit the 30% bonds paid yet….but I continue to hear from other bond holders that they are moving along quickly with processing.

Member: Any idea how close to the 30% bondholders paid we are at?

MZ: Judging from what I am seeing…..My best guess is they are at the halfway mark.  But it’s just a guess…..we could find out within hours they have already reached it.

Member: I wonder - do bond payouts occur over the weekend or wait till Monday??

MZ: I did get a great check in yesterday saying their humanitarian group had a long meeting with the Treasury to position their money for release…..and now has funds …..This is a group from Tier 3…but the money is not from the same pot as the historic bonds are……..This has me downright excited.

MZ: If they got dollars….we should soon start seeing some relief.

MZ: On the banking/redemption center side. They say they have to work half a day this weekend.

Member: have you heard if Zurich has started ?

MZ: I have heard that the engine has started running in Zurich. That is what I am hearing.

Member: I watched the Mike Bara interview with Wolverine and it seems there are certain countries starting to pay out for people holding bonds. Who knows if it is actually happening.

Member: What happened to the audit at Fort Knox ?

Member; Last night in the Jessie Waters interview with Elon Musk…..they mentioned that they were currently auditing the US Treasury along with other departments …..and  the audit of Ft. Knox is next on the list .

Member: I heard Iraq’s AYUSCUDA system will be totally up and running the middle of this year.

MZ: yes –it’s 93% up right now. That is what was claimed in an article this week. It’s another necessary step towards the RV . We are not waiting on this for the RV though. I don’t think there is anything on the list that they cannot do within hours to release this thing.

Member:  The middle of this year could mean this month?

Member: Mark is Venezuela back in first basket. Sources Wolverine and Bara put out positive comments on it yesterday.

MZ: I don’t know if Venezuela is in the first basket. Bank contacts have not seen any new values popping up on the Bolivar.

MZ: They have seen internal documents saying they need to train on accepting VND rupiah and IQD and others…. and learning procedures on accepting them…..……but not specifically on the Bolivar.

MZ: I am hopeful the Bolivar is in it….and I know it will go at some point.

Member: Is President Trump holding up the RV for a negotiation tool?

MZ: I have not heard that. I believe he wants it done.

Member: TNT said the appointments are needed for redistribution today…. approval was last night and new rate in the 5 range

Member: Will you have a list of where the redemption centers are going to be throughout the United States?

Member: When we call and give our zip code for our appointment. I believe that is where we will be told where to go.

Member: Question: If thousands of new millionaires are suddenly created by the RV, won't that be inflationary?

Member: They must be aware of this and have a plan???

Member: Sounds like this could happen before Mothers Day.??

Member: We are getting so close folks. Hang tight.

Member: Have a nice weekend, all! And safe travels, Mark!

Member: BREAKING: Massive 7.4-magnitude earthquake hits off the coast of South America (Argentina) praying that folks there will be safe.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 2 May 2025

Compiled Fri. 2 May 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset:  (RUMORS)

Wed. 30 April 2025  Banker: “Initially Wells Fargo Bank in Sacramento was to release the 800 number. It is now my understanding that it will be released in Panama.”

Tues. 29 April 2025 Wolverine: “Bond Holders are liquid in their accounts. Money is defiantly moving.”

Thurs. 1 May 2025 Bruce:

Sometime between now and next Wed. 7 May you should get an email from Wells Fargo that instructs how to set up your exchange appointment.

In order for us to exchange there were three things that needed to happen that did happen by yesterday Wed. 30 April. (1) One was taking out the nuclear plant in Iran – which set up a peace agreement in the Middle East. (2) The second was the agreement between Trump and Ukraine to mine precious metals. Russia agreed to a cease fire for three days. (3) The third was the problem with Iran and Ukraine integrating into the new banking system. That is to happen by Fri. night 2 May.

There were indications that Dong and Dinar were being exchanged in the Middle East.

Everything was triggered to start today Thurs. 1 May at 2 pm EST.

The latest information was that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) notifications should come out over the weekend, with appointments starting on Tues. 6 May.

All exchanges are to be finished by Sat. 31 May 2025.

On Wed. 30 April Iraq announced they were in bankruptcy, so their Dinar was likely to revalue ASAP. The IQD (Iraqi Dinar) flips first, the XRP follows: https://x.com/589bull10000/status/1917621269450707386?t=1T5j2NhKm7xa-kjs5dfUtw&s=09

Global Financial Crisis:

Thurs. 1 May 2025: The Federal Reserve Lost $80 Billion, American Taxpayers PAID FOR IT. “The Fed is losing, last year they lost about $80 billion and the taxpayers funded that, and we use that money to pay banks.” Charlie Kirk “So is congress then financing this loss?” “Yeah — It’s crazy.” …Q into the Storm on Telegram

Thurs. 1 May 2025: TRUMP UNLEASHES GOLD-POWERED INCOME TAX REVOLUTION …Nesara Gesara on Telegram

TRUMP JUST CHANGED EVERYTHING. On April 27, 2025, he dropped the bomb: “NO INCOME TAX for Americans earning under $200K” — all thanks to a TARIFF-POWERED REVENUE PLAN that’ll obliterate the IRS and launch America into a new industrial age. Factories are firing up. Jobs are coming back. He calls it the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.

But here’s the part they don’t want you to see: it’s not just tariffs. This is the death blow to the fiat system.

JUDY SHELTON IS BACK. Trump’s trusted gold-standard economist is pushing a new 50-year Treasury bond — fully convertible to GOLD — launching July 4, 2026. Her plan? Use America’s gold reserves to back a new debt instrument and k**l the Fed’s monopoly. This isn’t theoretical. This is the start of a financial coup.

The Fed is DONE. The global dollar order is collapsing.

Russia and China are already there. Russia just abolished the 20% VAT tax on gold — signaling a full return to a gold standard. China? Quietly hoarding gold, dumping dollars.

Defcon insiders warn: The next global system will be gold-backed, and the US dollar will CRASH. Maxime Bernier isn’t mincing words: “We’re handing them the win. We’re triggering the collapse of our own currency.” And Canada has no gold left. NONE. Their dollar is hanging by a thread.

This is happening FAST. Russia’s central bank is stacking up assets immune to sanctions — gold, cash, and Chinese yuan. They’re preparing for the final break from the Western system.

Meanwhile, Lebanon just canceled its central bank’s foreign debt. That’s full-on reset mode. Central banks are collapsing from the inside. They’re wiping the slate clean. Who’s next?

The gold dominoes are falling. And in the shadows, Multichain is connecting XRPL with 39+ chains, bypassing legacy financial controls — ushering in a decentralized gold-backed exchange system with over $6 billion locked and $200M daily volume. Quiet now… but that’s how revolutions start.

We are in the final chapter. The fiat illusion is crumbling. Gold will rise. Trump is forcing the reset — ON OUR TERMS.

WAKE UP. THE WAR ISN’T COMING. IT’S HERE.

Yada  For this rate to delay another month would mean they'd have to freeze all they've done up till now.  26 billion dollar worth of oil not flowed from Iraq to Turkey and all needed is the rate to populate. US pushing to get it restarted. Billions of invested money from companies arrived in Iraq the past 3 weeks and doubt they will just sit on it with no rate change...There is much said in the articles as well as prep actions of Iraq to indicate, the rate release is upon us.

Militia Man  Article quote: "Non-oil imports rose significantly during the government of Muhammad Sudani including long-term investment revenues..."   Sudani has increased the non-oil revenues since he's been in office...Realize Iraq's original valuation was primarily based off oil.  Now they have non-oil resources.  They're really going to be able to support a real effective exchange rate as far as I can see...

IQD Flips First, XRP Follows

589bull:   5-1-2025

Iraq just passed Resolution No. 294 — authorizing the Ministry of Finance to pull over 3 trillion IQD from dormant tax accounts and inject it into the Central Bank of Iraq to cover salaries.

Old funds.
New movement.
Right before the budget flips.

This isn’t routine. They’re not just covering payroll — they’re positioning liquidity inside the CBI. You don’t unlock trillions in dormant escrow just to patch a gap. You do it to prime the system before something big resets.

Abu snwe:  At the time of the Sudanese preparation for the Arab summit The Iraqi government announces its bankruptcy and authorizes the Minister of Finance, a Sami spectrum to withdraw the tax trusts of more than 3 trillion to pay the salaries of the month of April.

Everyone keeps asking: What moves first — IQD or XRP?

Answer: IQD flips first. XRP follows. Fast.

Iraq’s revaluation is the event — the trigger. It resets regional liquidity, realigns trade, and floods the system with pressure.

That pressure needs rails. Fast, neutral, compliant rails. That’s when XRP ignites.

IQD is the fuse.
XRP is the ignition.

Classic damage control.

If everything was “normal,” they wouldn’t need to say it. You don’t withdraw 3+ trillion IQD from dormant tax accounts unless you’re prepping for something outside the norm — like a rate shift or system switch.

The fact that the Parliamentary Finance Committee had to come out and calm people down tells you one thing:

This wasn’t routine.
This was strategic liquidity repositioning.

They’re staging cash where it needs to be before the public feels the shift — likely to smooth salary transitions and avoid panic right before the flip.

Planned Demolition Of The Banking System | David Morgan

Liberty and Finance:  4-30-2025

David Morgan outlines the global banking hierarchy and highlights how real power resides not with governments but with elite financial institutions, steering the world toward a centralized digital monetary system diminishing national financial sovereignty.

 Two key points he emphasizes are that the destruction of the current banking system is a planned demolition, not a natural failure, and that this collapse is designed to usher in a new, more authoritarian financial regime rooted in AI-driven control and digital currencies.

Morgan warns that such a system will eliminate human discretion and embed surveillance into every transaction, reducing people to programmable nodes in a technocratic grid. He concludes that unless more people resist, we risk entering a future where convenience masks total economic and personal subjugation.

Member: Good Morning and Happy May Day Mark and Family

Member: Welcome to a new month…….Do you have any good RV news today Mark?

MZ: I am really enjoying this event in Florida with Charlie Ward and others. Zester and I will talk this afternoon. Just know I am using a mobile set up…so cannot see chats or show articles like usual.

Member: Mark-  have you lost enthusiasm that this will go soon?

MZ: Absolutely not ……I am still full of enthusiasm. I do not know the exact time but everything happening points that it will be soon.

MZ: Bond contacts are confirming that late last night.  They say they are making great progress and heading towards conclusion. They will not share the timing though.

MZ: I still have one that has the paperwork stating bank wires have been initiated . I think today we may find out one way or another.

Member:  MZ, since you received confirmation of bond movement,  I hope we get to exchange in the next week or so?

MZ: If bond folks are receiving spendable money… we would be in that time scale. I will give a quick update as soon as I get that confirmation.

Member: MARKZ. What do you think about Iraq possibly filing bankruptcy on the 29th

MZ: that’s a rumor I have not heard from anyone I know.

Member: Iraq took money from a delinquent tax account to pay salaries. $3T dinar. No bankruptcy.

Member: The Iraq bankruptcy thing isn’t just one person, it’s all over the boards!!! Most saying it’s just like Kuwait! Has to do with pulling over 1 Tril IQD to oay salaries!

​​MemberL if iraq declared bankruptcy it would be all over the main stream financial news

Member: That’s just a rumor I think MM mention something about that last night and he said it was just a rumor

Member: ​​I wonder if the Iraqi "bankruptcy" rumor is about the same thing as Kuwait saying "it's going to be another year" then went same day..... just a thought

MZ: The articles coming out of Iraq do remind me of articles in Kuwait leading up to their revaluation. Budget scares, concerns and suddenly BAM……RV and it is all fixed.

Member: "Myles Caggins- Kurdistan Oil Industry Corp. (APICOR), says that member companies are ready to resume exporting Kurdistan Region oil, but only if they are guaranteed payment."

Member: I continue to hope the RV appointments happen before the Forex. Less chaos

Member: Mike Bara and Wolvie had a good show last night

Member: (From Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat  ...Iraq is excited and so should we be... the dinar situation can change very suddenly once the right policies are effective. This process is not going to take months or years more.

MZ: I agree with that comment. Things can turn on a dime. There are a lot of historic examples of resets that happen suddenly.

MZ: Will try to do a podcast tonight….not exactly sure when though.

“Bits and Pieces” in Dinarland Thursday AM 5-1-2025

SWIFT Just Said the Quiet Part out Loud

589bull:  5-1-2025

SWIFT just said the quiet part out loud:

“Tokens allow messaging and settlement to be collapsed into one.”

Translation? The old financial system just admitted it’s cooked.

For decades, banks played a game.

First they’d send a message (SWIFT). Then — hours or even days later — they’d move the money. Two separate layers. Two sets of fees. Two opportunities to stall, skim, and manipulate.

That game’s over.

With tokenized value? There’s no delay, no middleman, no second layer.

When the message is sent — the value moves with it. No waiting. No clearing house. No FX trap.

It’s one move. One strike. Final.

This is exactly what XRP was designed for. Same with XDC and QNT.

Real-time settlement. Frictionless. Immutable. And now SWIFT’s basically admitting they’re switching to that model — after fighting it for years.

Funny how that works.

Now Iraq.

They’ve got a locked-up budget, a brand new CBI headquarters, and a digital banking system syncing up as we speak.

You think they’re doing all that for another decade of 1,300-to-1 rates?

Come on.

This isn’t just about payments. It’s about control.

Once settlement and messaging collapse into one, the middlemen collapse too. That means real money moves start happening without IMF approval, without central bank delays, and without SWIFT’s gatekeeping.

This is how the reset happens.

Not with an announcement.
Not with a press release.

It happens when the plumbing flips behind the scenes… And they start talking like the new system is already live.

SWIFT just did.

Watch liquidity.
Watch corridors.
Watch Iraq.

Because when they say “collapsed into one”, what they’re really saying is:

The storm’s not coming. You’re standing in it.

Sandy Ingram   As you know the Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein left for Washington D.C. to meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday.  But what you many not know is the huge request the Iraqi Foreign Minister had for the United States...The visit signals a deepening partnership between the two nations, which is a good thing for IQD investors.  But the interesting factor that was finally revealed about the meetings was Iraq's request.  Iraq asked the US to reconsider travel warnings ...A move that could make it easier for investors to travel freely to the country...   [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned]

Sandy Ingram  Hussein stressed that the current "Level 4 - Do Not Travel" advisory is hurting Iraq's chances of attracting American businesses and investment.  He explained Iraq's situation has improved significantly and continuing to label Iraq as highly dangerous just doesn't reflect the new reality on the ground anymore...Hussein pointed out some European countries have already updated their travel advisories for Iraq...As of now, it's unclear whether the Untied States will agree to remove or lower the travel warning...If Washington does choose to reconsider it would mark a major step toward opening Iraq's doors wider to American investors and businesses.  Guys this is major!   [Post 2 of 2]
