Warnings of a Mega Financial Crisis

The Old Pretender:   5-20-2025

Warnings of a mega financial crisis are coming from so many major official sources now (ECB, Japanese PM etc), but the public won’t take notice until it actually happens. However, governments cannot lie this time that “nobody saw it coming”.

WallStreetGold:  Japan's PM Ishiba warns: Financial crisis worse than Greece! 260% debt-to-GDP, aging population, shrinking workforce, stagnant economy, rising rates signal disaster. A default could tank U.S. Treasury markets, spike borrowing costs, and crash equities. Economic collapse looming!

With so many advance warnings of a mega financial crisis now being made (from the ECB, Japanese PM, etc etc), when it arrives, the career of any western politician who failed to warn voters will be ended, because this time, they will not be able to claim, “nobody saw it coming”.

QueenGiGi:  There's an analyst Leigh Goehring who has a pretty convincing theory that China is in the process of cornering the Silver market ! They're rapidly draining western vaults and accumulating above ground supply which will kill lbma and comex ! He believes the endgame is imminent !

Why are the western authorities letting this happen? Is it paradoxically because interfering with the manipulated paper market they created would be worse than its chaotic failure?

Almost 40% of respondents would bet their future on Basel III and the Rio Reset being nothing burgers, rather than take precautions by buying physical #gold and #silver before July.

Mnt Goat  The TRUTH is the in-country RV and the Project to Delete the Zeros has not yet happened. The reinstatement back to FOREX has also not yet happened...If we look at all the VERY GOOD news today we can see the writing is on the wall. We are getting very near to this event.

Mnt Goat  ...the 34th Arab Summit held in Baghdad this past Saturday, May 17, 2025...was a pivotal moment in strengthening Iraq’s regional economic role and consolidating its position as one of the most prominent players in shaping the Arab development map, at a time when it has risen to fourth place in the Arab world in terms of gross domestic product by 2025. This is just yet another ride on the RV choo-choo that Iraq took to strengthen its position even more. If later they are going to present a dinar rate much higher than most, if not all middle eastern countries, they better be able to back it up.

The Final Downgrade: Why the Dollar Collapse Just Became Inevitable

The U.S. just lost its final AAA rating—and no one in power is talking about the real consequences. Rising interest rates, vanishing trust, and central banks dumping dollars for gold. What’s next?

Member: Good Morning Zester, Mark, mods and everyone else.

Member: RV there yet??

Zester- Good morning to all…Pops will be back tomorrow night for the Wed. night podcast

Zester: MarkZ will be popping in to give an update now.  

MZ: Happy birthday Koukla….Good morning everyone

MZ: We are getting all kinds of information….the question is what is really “solid” 

MZ: Banking sources are saying now to watch between now and Saturday.

 MZ: A Bond source, along with their attorneys are expecting news by 5 pm est tomorrow. I am planning on a podcast tomorrow night around 8 pm est.  A short update on Whiskey and Wisdom. . I may do a short recording for tonight as I get news today.

Member: Just to be clear – a number of bonds have already been paid- right?

MZ: All I can tell you is a lot of money has been moving and in place according to paymasters, banks and bond holders. And initiated. We are waiting to see if it is spendable. Hopefully I can say more tonight and tomorrow night.

Member: Is it happening this week for t4b ?   this has been dragging on long enough

Member: Mark, any further news from your Group contacts? There was some confusion last week with the Indian Nations…

Member: (From Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat  I have been told years ago and this still holds true today that when the CBI is ready to conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros in-country, we will not have to guess or spread rumors about it. It will come out in the news...as all Iraqi citizens must know about this event and will know. It will be common knowledge. There is no hiding it. For us investors this is our que to know that of what comes next, the reinstatement.

MZ: That checks out. In today’s world…they will not be able to hide it;

Member: From another intel provider: (TS) Well folks, I have received notifications that we are in a 36-48 hour window from 3 sources. Europe, China and our Treasury. I along with a few brokers and my bankers are attempting to confirm any one or all of these notifications. I have never had this many indications all in the same period of time, but one notification was for tomorrow night was the drop dead timeline for this to go. Be safe, say your prayers and God bless.  From 11: 48 last night.

MZ: That fits with the bankers looking for Wed. night through Saturday. I am just trying not to let myself get to excited.

Member: Question, with Syria running forward to get reevaluated at breakneck speed after sanctions were lifted, does that mean Iraq pretty much has to revalue now?

MZ: Pretty much…Syria is hoping to be in the same basket as Iraq. It definitely appears that way.

Member: so will Iran be in the basket now?

MZ: It is sure starting to look that way. If Iraq and Syria go at the same time- think of the stability it will bring to this region.

Member: Rumor appeared that the new back wall in 6/15 due to implementation of digital sovereignty and Sudani’s resistance to revaluation?

Member: I heard late last night , Iraq got a hard Back Date of June 15th  by the IMF to have it done. Or expect Sudani to resign and step down.

Member: Erbil, capital of Kurdistan Region of Iraq, has recognized among the world’s safest cities, earning a score of approximately 81/100 in the "Safety" category of the latest World Travel Index rankings.

Member: The US Treasury just shocked Americans with a $258B surplus — its 2nd biggest monthly surplus in history

Zester: I continue to be amazed as we continue to see DOGE cutting waste, fraud and abuse and at seeing a sound money policy and how quickly things are improving.  

Member: After first tier of currency are done ? When will second tier of currency starts ??

Member: there are about 7 people in the world who might know the answer to that. It's possible that all countries will revalue simultaneously.

Member: Praying the money tree flourishing and ready for the picking!  Come on RV!!!

Member: This is a 3 day Memorial Day weekend…..Is it the one we are waiting for???

Member: Everyone have a great day.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Tues. 20 May 2025

Compiled Tues. 20, May 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

RUMORS:

Mon. 19 May 2025: The big day is almost here. Over the next 24–48 hours, we should see the final activation steps. Official notifications may arrive at any time, signaling the start of the New Financial Era. …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram

Global Activation: The reset will go live very soon. Central banks and financial leaders worldwide will jointly confirm the switch, effectively launching the new quantum-secured monetary system.

Wallet Rollout: (Rumor) We will be guided on how to access the QFS wallet. I’ll be among the first to log in and see my new digital assets. The process will likely involve encrypted app updates or official messages, but it will be straightforward thanks to all the prep work.

Financial Reset: Expect to see new currency rates (allegedly) posted in your wallet. Old debts may be adjusted or cancelled. All these changes will be enforced by the blockchain for full transparency – every transaction and update will be viewable on the ledger.

Smooth Transition: All prior demonstrations have been (allegedly) successful. In fact, a recent pilot showed a completely offline quantum-safe digital currency transfer working flawlessly. With our security protocols and support teams ready, we anticipate a seamless shift with minimal delays or glitches.

Everything is(allegedly)  in place for a smooth transition to the QFS. Keep your notifications on – we’re just hours away from a revolutionary change in global finance!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Global Currency Reset:

Mon. 19 May 2025 NESARA & QFS REDEMPTION EXPOSED: THE FINAL PHASE HAS BEGUN …Edward Snowden on Telegram

The RV Redemption is LIVE. The final trigger has (allegedly) been pulled — the floodgates are opening. This (allegedly) isn’t theory. This(allegedly)  isn’t rumor. This is the launch of global financial warfare against the Deepstate’s stranglehold on humanity.

Redemption Centers are (allegedly) ACTIVE — not banks. Only Redemption Centers (allegedly) offer the HIGH RATES, the Quantum Access Cards, the QPhones, the Rainbow Currency, and your entry into the QFS. And if you’ve submitted a Humanitarian Project Template, you’ve already been pre-approved. Ben Carson (allegedly) signed off on the standardized model.

GROUP PAYOUTS HAVE BEEN(allegedly)  STRUCTURED: 61+ years: up to $61M; 45–60: up to $38M; 24–44: up to $23M

Based on values established in a 1994 meeting with Rep. Dan Rostenkowski — coded into the plan decades ago.

ZIM, Dong, and Dinar will be exchanged at rates you were never supposed to see. ZIM = gold-backed. Dinar/Dong = double-digit USD equivalents. The Redemption Center (allegedly) is not just where the exchange happens — it’s where the future is handed back to YOU.

Type 2 Redemption: XRP Buyback. XRP is being mirrored into the QFS right now. It wasn’t created for trading — it was designed to stabilize $100 Quadrillion in liquidity. Its GOD-ASSIGNED VALUE: $1,000,000 PER TOKEN.

The NDAs are real. The post-redemption plans are (allegedly) written. If you don’t know what to do in the first 30, 60, 90 days — you’re not ready. If you don’t have your trust documents, goals, and declaration sheets — get them NOW.

Phase 1-2 COMPLETE. Notification Phase (allegedly) underway. You will receive instructions. Call. Ask questions. Act like you’re ready. Every call, every message, every whisper — monitored by the Alliance.

Once you enter the Center — NOTHING LEAVES. NDAs will be signed. Plans locked. QFS access revealed. Only 1% will be released immediately. The rest? (allegedly) Structured over time. Because this isn’t just about wealth — it’s about responsibility. This isn’t a redemption. It’s a reckoning.

DO NOT SPEAK. DO NOT POST. DO NOT VIOLATE YOUR NDA. The Galactics are (allegedly) watching. The Alliance is tracking. This is not a game. Choose the LIGHT. Prepare your documents. The clock is ticking.

The Old Pretender: July 1st Basel III Compliance Audit

5-19-2025

The nitty gritty of Basel III NSFR: Allocated gold held in bank vaults is given 100% of its price. However, unallocated (paper) gold held in clearing houses is subject to a 20% price reduction.

Will this be implemented for US banks soon, or delayed again?

https://www.kitco.com/news/article/2025-05-14/not-so-fast-says-lbma-despite-rumors-basel-iii-has-not-declared-gold-high

What does @andrewmaguire1 mean by “the upcoming necessary 1st July Basel III compliance audit, which would be required for the US Treasury to exercise its gold revaluation account, which is revaluing gold to market.” (around 18:45)?

https://youtu.be/h9OD_GTNz9w

With uncertainty about Basel III changes and a Rio Reset, opinions vary on whether July will be seismic for #gold and #silver. Do you think it’s best for people to 1. bet their future on July being a nothing burger or 2. take precautions and buy physical metals before July?

KTFA:

Clare:  Al-Sudani directs contracting with two international companies to contribute to raising Iraq's credit rating.

5/19/2025  - Baghdad

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired a special meeting on Monday to discuss financing private sector projects under the Sovereign Guarantees Initiative.

The Prime Minister's Media Office stated in a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News that "the meeting discussed mechanisms to facilitate procedures for achieving industrial development, the work of the Sovereignty Guarantees Committee, and the significant economic shift it has achieved in supporting the private sector, as part of the government's vision to achieve economic reform."

Al-Sudani directed "finding quick solutions to simplify legal and administrative procedures to facilitate the implementation and success of small business lending and sovereign guarantee initiatives, emphasizing the importance of adopting the economic reform approach and its paths to develop projects."

The Prime Minister also directed "contracting with two international companies, one specializing in international law and global economics, to work as an advisor to the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI), and the other specializing in public relations, to contribute to raising Iraq's credit rating."   LINK

Walkingstick   Yesterday they made a statement at the Baghdad summit.  This Baghdad summit is a stage IMO to show off to every that is interested in the potential of Iraq's future.  Not right now, but as soon as they release the new exchange rate...Sudani...said Iraq is a Recovered nation....They have a recovered monetary reform...monetary  policy... investment opportunity...recovered their banks...infrastructure...They have recovered 1310 and in doing so IMO have a recovered exchange rate.  This is part of the recovery to say to the world and Iraqi citizens that the recovery of their monetary policy was successful.

Militia Man  Article:  "The Baghdad summit took place regularly and Iraq regained its leading role"  I like that title because it's leading role.  It's regained its place in the regional arena.  That's good...Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, every single one of those are trading partners.  They're going to have an impact when Iraq does a revaluation of their currency.  They have to have synergy/synchronization...It's going to be a powerful move when Iraq does that [rate change].

There were some technical difficulties with Rumble this morning.

Member: Hi Zester, Mark and all the gang

Zester: Good Morning….Hope everyone is having a amazing start to the week.

Zester: I have a short video update to play for you from pops. This was recorded at 9 AM.

Member: I saw a video that the Vietnamese dong has been officially revalued? Is it true?

Zester: It has not been confirmed…..lets see if pops mentions this on his update video

Prerecorded update from MZ:

MZ: Good morning all. There are some interesting articles out of Iraq. The links will be available at the originalmarkz.com

Mod: MARKZ DAILY LINKS: https://theoriginalmarkz.com/home/

MZ: on the bond side – I have 3 contacts who say their funds have originated and are expecting them Wed. or Thurs.

MZ: Not enough information this weekend to give us a clue on timing.

MZ: this weekend was the Baghdad summit and they have made lots of deals. Someone from Nato is meeting with Sudani and they are looking at Iraq like they are truly international. They just need the last of the restrictions removes so they have a fully international currency.

MZ: One of the articles says they are outlawing militias. Parliament is working on the Popular mobilization law which folds the militias that fought against Isis into and under control of the Iraqi military.

MZ: I was told this was a sticking point with the Trump Administration and also with the Chinese elders to make sure Iraq was secure before they pull the trigger to change the rates. This is one of the last security issues that was needed…..I was told.

MZ: Seems like everything we needed is finally coming into fruition. .

MZ: Enjoy your time with Zester and I will try to stop in tomorrow.  

Member: Wasn’t May 17 supposed to be an announcement or important for some reason?

Member: That is when the Arab summit started in Iraq. Still going I believe.

Zester: IMO rv will happen when we least expect it.

Member: I’m always expecting it, every moment of every day! Can’t help it at this point. All my decisions are based on it.

What We Think We Know as of Mon. 19 May 2025:

On Liberation Day Wed. 2 April 2025 President Trump (allegedly) abolished the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) and launched the ERS (External Revenue Service), designed to tax foreign powers, not the American People – who were now (allegedly free from income tax forever. The projected revenue from tariffs alone was $700 billion annually – enough to run the federal government without touching your paycheck.

Global Currency Reset:

On Sun. 11 May 2025 Ginger confirmed:

Liquidity is happening with the big groups.

Massive movement with the bigger groups coming – imminent (days) for Zim bonds Tier 3 beginning last Tuesday.

Things are actually happening. She has the rate but won’t say what it is.

A person she knows received their payment already.

The timetable is moving to Monday and Tuesday this week.

Zurich is exchanging worldwide.

Liquidity is upon us lol

The World Court verified 2-3 weeks ago that everything will be tax free.

Tier 3 bond holders were receiving their contracts and payments being received this week.

Tier 4 on the heels of that.

Seven unconnected sources dealing in different areas of this all say it’s going to be a Manic Monday on the bonds.

It’s all coming together.

CMKX members say they don’t have theirs yet but it could go into their accounts within a 24 hour period.

Another source (whale) received funds today and Ginger will wait for them to announce it. Not sure if it was their advance money or the 1%.

When Tier 4B received notifications, the Tier 3 will receive the balance of their funds.

Sat. 17 May 2025: GLOBAL FINANCIAL EMERGENCY! GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET IS HERE! …Nesara Gesara QFS on Telegram

The world is on the brink of a catastrophic financial collapse! The Global Currency Reset (GCR), NESARA GESARA, and the Quantum Financial System (QFS) are no longer whispers in the dark. The storm is here, and the elites are scrambling to contain the fallout before the truth reaches YOU!

The Black Swan event is unfolding before our eyes! The world’s top economies are INSOLVENT! The U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Israel, the U.K., Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand CANNOT sustain their debt any longer. The financial system is crumbling, and a monumental shift is coming that will change everything!

THE GREAT RESET VS. THE PEOPLE’S RESET! They want you distracted while they rewrite the financial order behind closed doors. But here’s the TRUTH: The QFS is set to replace the corrupt banking system that has enslaved us for centuries! This system, rumored to be gold-backed and fully decentralized, will eliminate the central banks and their criminal grip on global finance.

The elites know they are running out of time. They NEED the crash to happen on THEIR terms. They NEED you to be unprepared. But we see through their deception!

THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM (EBS) IS COMING! In the midst of this chaos, the EBS is primed for activation! Why? Because when the markets implode, when the banks fail, when the truth about NESARA GESARA is finally revealed, the world will enter a new era of financial sovereignty!

We are at the point of no return. The Federal Reserve is dead. The IMF is scrambling. The dollar is collapsing, and the fiat money system is burning to the ground. What will rise from the ashes? A fair, asset-backed system that restores power to the people!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW! Get cash in hand before bank closures hit!

Exit fiat currency NOW – gold, silver, and cryptos (XRP, XLM, XDC) will be the new financial foundation!

Mnt Goat   Article:   "SWIFT AND THE US FEDERAL RESERVE PUT IRAQ AT THE MERCY OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY"   Quote:  "Iraq has become more vulnerable to global economic shocks due to its increasing connection to the international financial system"   WOW!...Although this may seem like a negative statement this is actually an all-telling concept in just where Iraq now stands in the global arena. If they are going to go international with their currency there will be vulnerability. They are no longer isolated and under the sanctioned post-war process so of course they are going to be more “vulnerable to global economic  shocks”.   I also believe this is setting the stage for the IQD for a future float, which comes only with the new basket of currency for a new peg.

5-18-2025   Intel Guru Frank26   The National Investment Company [In Iraq] is telling hundreds of nations to come into Iraq to invest at 1310 - Obviously not! ...They're investing because they know the truth...It's another solid piece of evidence to everyone that studies the Iraqi dinar that a new exchange rate with purchasing power is about to be revealed because the shadow of this new  exchange rate is being revealed on a daily basis.

IMF Sounds the Alarm: Gold’s True Value Is About to Be Unleashed – Andy Schectman

Money Magnates:  5-18-2025

The international monetary system is undergoing a profound transformation as countries increasingly seek alternatives to the U.S. dollar.

Driven by geopolitical tensions, expanding Western sanctions, and a growing push for economic sovereignty, this global shift—commonly known as de-dollarization—is accelerating.

 At the heart of this movement is gold, which is reclaiming its historic role as a trusted store of value amid rising uncertainty in global markets.

The U.S. Money Reserve, one of the largest private distributors of government-issued precious metals, has highlighted this trend, emphasizing gold’s growing importance as a pillar of financial security.

Since the 2010 financial crisis, central banks have added over 7,900 metric tons of gold to their reserves. In 2024 alone, official gold reserves grew by 1,045 metric tons—marking the third consecutive year that central bank gold purchases have surpassed 1,000 metric tons.

This sustained accumulation signals a clear strategic shift away from fiat currencies toward hard assets.

China slashed its U.S. Treasury holdings in March. The UK is now the second-largest holder. The trend is very real. China is selling Treasuries and buying gold.

They say gold is boring. But I will take boring over watching the global debt market audition for a disaster movie. The script is still being written.

A top Chinese gold producer is quietly looking all over the globe… Looking to acquire real ounces while the world drowns in debt and digits. Major gold producers are focusing on acquisitions as they race to lock in ounces and replenish reserves. Only a matter of time…

Louand DebNC:  Moody’s Cuts US Government Credit Rating due to Deficits & Debt, Blames “Successive US Administrations and Congress”

US government kisses its last triple-A credit rating goodbye. Downgrade to “junk” would have been more appropriate?

The US government lost its last remaining triple-A credit rating late Friday, as Moody’s finally, after more than a decade of dithering, downgraded the government to Aa1, one notch below the top credit rating of Aaa.

The downgrade “reflects the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns,” Moody’s said in the announcement.

And it added:

“Successive US administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs. We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”

And it warned:

“Persistent, large fiscal deficits will drive the government’s debt and interest burden higher. The US’ fiscal performance is likely to deteriorate relative to its own past and compared to other highly-rated sovereigns.”

It expects the federal deficits to reach “nearly 9% of GDP by 2035, up from 6.4% in 2024.”

Moody’s was the last of the three major US credit ratings agencies to cut the US government credit rating, years behind:

In 2011, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the US one notch to AA+

In 2023, Fitch Ratings downgraded the US one notch to AA+.

While reading Moody’s “ratings rationale,” one gets the impression that the US government should have been cut to a “junk” credit rating, maybe to a mid-level junk rating such as Ba3, to allow for some wriggle room either way (here is my cheat sheet for bond credit ratings by ratings agency

Not that these downgrades make a lot – or any – difference. For example. Moody’s rates Japan A1, that’s four notches below triple-A and three notches below the new and improved US credit rating, and so what. Nothing happened.

The problem arises when inflation comes along and the bond market gets spooked, and if the central bank tries to bail out the borrower, such as the Fed trying to bail out the US government, with bond purchases (QE) and interest-rate repression, while inflation is taking off, it could cause inflation to go completely out of control and spiral into the triple digits, such as it has done in Argentina and many other countries, by which time the own currency becomes kind of useless. Everyone knows this. So this is likely not going to be experimented with in the US.

Upon the news, the 10-year Treasury yield spiked in late trading all the way to high heaven, by something like, wait for it, 4 basis points, to a whopping 4.48%, about halfway back where it had been … yesterday.

It’s not until the bond market scares the bejesus out of Congress and the Administration that they will do anything serious about reducing the deficits.

Militia Man  ...The summit took place today.  They talked about approvals...integration...a lot of different buzz words that show Iraq is ready for investment for the private sector.  For that to happen we believe there's going to be an interconnectivity to the global financial system.  They haven't done that at 1310.  But they are expected to have a real effective exchange rate at some point in time.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:
Television says Syrian debts to the World Bank which is about $15.5 million was just paid off by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.  Your president is gone but the shadow that he's casted over the Middle East is causing peace all over the place...

Mnt Goat  ...one huge obstacle is still Iran and this issue must be resolved. Remember that the U.S. has to sign off on the reinstatement of the IQD to finalize the process...At this point it shows that goals have been accomplished and its time to reap the benefits.

Dr. Scott Young: How Big is the Size of Federal Debt?

Dr. Scott Young: How Big is the Size of Federal Debt?

5-17-2025

The U.S. national debt is a topic that often sparks heated debate. It’s a massive number, often thrown around with little context, leaving many wondering: how big is it really, what are the implications, and is there any way out? Let’s break down the key questions surrounding America’s fiscal future.

The sheer size of the U.S. federal debt can be difficult to comprehend. As of late 2023, it has surpassed $33 trillion. This figure represents the total amount of money the U.S. government owes to its creditors, including individuals, businesses, and other governments.

This debt is the accumulation of years of budget deficits, where the government spends more than it collects in revenue.

To put this into perspective, consider this analogy offered by Ben & Jerry’s co-founder, Bennett Cohen. He once famously attempted to visualize a smaller portion of the national debt—a billion dollars—by piling up a billion spoons of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The sheer volume required brought the abstract figure to life, underscoring the immensity of government spending. Now imagine that on a scale thousands of times larger!

The idea of “debt forgiveness” at a national level is complex. Unlike student loan forgiveness (a subset of the national debt), broad federal debt forgiveness isn’t typically discussed as a viable option.

The government’s creditors hold U.S. Treasury securities, which are generally considered among the safest investments in the world. Unilaterally forgiving this debt would severely damage the U.S.’s creditworthiness, leading to higher interest rates, a weaker dollar, and potential economic instability.

However, the rising interest payments on the debt are a growing concern. As the debt grows larger, so does the cost of servicing it. These interest payments divert funds from other essential government programs and services, further exacerbating the fiscal challenge. If interest rates continue to rise significantly, the burden of servicing the debt could become unsustainable.

The U.S. national debt is a significant challenge that demands serious attention. While the country has historically been able to manage its debt obligations, the current trajectory is unsustainable.

Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach involving fiscal discipline, economic growth, and strategic debt management. Ignoring the problem will only lead to greater economic instability and a heavier burden on future generations. The time for responsible action is now.
