Swisher1776: This is a Modern Sovereign Transition, Not Kuwait 2.0

Swisher1776: This is a Modern Sovereign Transition, Not Kuwait 2.0

1-14-2025

Respectfully, this comparison is not accurate, and here’s why:

Kuwait’s 1991 revaluation occurred after a foreign occupation and currency replacement, under a monarchal system, with an external peg restored almost immediately. That situation involved physical currency withdrawal and reinstatement, not institutional reform.

Iraq today is in a completely different framework.

What we’re seeing now is constitutional, judicial, and institutional sequencing:

Central Bank executing monetary policy

Ministry of Finance aligning fiscal controls

Courts and political blocs resolving legitimacy and authority

Caretaker limitations being clarified by law

That is not misdirection — that is rule-of-law execution.

No exchange rate mechanism activates without:

legal authority

institutional continuity

international compliance

banking system readiness

Political noise often increases during ececution phases, because decisions are being locked in, not undone.

Kuwait didn’t have Basel III, FATCA, global payment rails, or modern compliance requirements. Iraq does.

This isn’t Kuwait 2.0.
This is a modern sovereign transition under global standards.

Appreciate the discussion.

Swisher1776: IQD RV: CARETAKER GOVERNMENT ACTIVATED AS DISCLOSURE SIGNALS SUDANI ACCOUNTABILITY

The leader of the State of Law Coalition (SLC), Nouri Al-Maliki, who will head the next government, will revoke all recent decisions issued by the caretaker government led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani

Iraqi lawmaker Ibtisam Al-Hilali said on Tuesday. Speaking to Shafaq News, Al-Hilali described the decisions taken by the government and the prime minister as illegal and lacking constitutional legitimacy, citing Federal Supreme Court ruling No. 213/Federal/2025, which she said ended the fifth parliamentary term and “converted Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s cabinet into a caretaker government with limited authority restricted to managing daily affairs.”

The reversals, Al-Hilali stated, would include decisions related to “incorrect tax and customs fees, as well as measures suspending leave, scholarships, and employee transfers.” Iraq’s caretaking government approved a series of decisions affecting multiple sectors during its most recent session, according to documents issued by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers.

 Among the measures, the cabinet endorsed a recommendation from the Ministerial Council for the Economy allowing ministries and entities not affiliated with a ministry to sell non-productive vehicles that are at least 15 years old.

The approval also covers the sale of all idle or surplus productive and non-productive vehicles, equipment, generators, construction machinery, and other types of machinery, regardless of their year of manufacture, across government departments. Fuel allocations for ministries, non-ministerial entities, and provincial administrations will be reduced by 50 percent from current levels.

 Another decision establishes the academic certificate under which an employee was first appointed to a state institution as the final qualification for all official purposes. Degrees obtained during employment will not be recognized across government institutions and specializations, with a limited exception applied to the Ministry of Higher Education.

 Additional measures include suspending transfers to the Ministries of Oil, Finance, Education, and Higher Education, as well as to any other entity where a transfer or secondment would result in increased financial allocations. State-funded overseas scholarships for all fields of study have also been halted.

Thomas Price:  The Maliki information is misdirection… Just like Kuwait when they RVd and said the King is dead etc. - Kuwait 2.0

The Clarity Act is Not Capture, it’s Alignment

The Clarity Act is Not Capture, it’s Alignment

1-14-2026

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show  @KuwlShow

The Clarity Act Is Not “Capture.” It Is Alignment.

The Clarity Act governs behavior – but the architecture governs power.

Law can constrain actors, but only transparent, atomic systems eliminate the incentives and mechanisms for abuse.

Digital asset markets don’t fail because of innovation.
They fail because of opacity, jurisdictional confusion, and discretionary power.

The CLARITY Act does one simple thing:
It replaces uncertainty with enforceable rules.

And here’s the part many are missing:

Clear rules do not enable institutional capture – they remove it.

Why?

Because institutions cannot capture:

Neutral code

Atomic settlement

Public, auditable ledgers

Programmatic supply

On-chain truth

They can only participate.

And participation under transparent, rules-based systems is the opposite of capture.

This is not crypto being absorbed by legacy finance.
This is legacy finance being forced to behave honestly.

Investor Protection Is Structural, Not Cosmetic

Fraud remains illigal.
Securities remain securities.
AML, sanctions, and enforcement remain intact.

But once settlement is atomic and ledgers are auditable:

Market manipulation becomes visible

Rehypothecation becomes impossible

Counterparty risk becomes measurable

Insider abuse loses cover

Stablecoins Aren’t Speculation – They’re Settlement

Record stablecoin supply is not a bull signal.
It’s a plumbing signal.

They represent:

Unit-of-account trust

Velocity without volatility

Cross-border neutrality

Finality without intermediaries

No opaque monetary system survives once:

Settlement is instant

Liquidity is transparent

Compliance is automated

Assets are tokenized at the source

This Isn’t Optimism — It’s Engineering

When regulators talk about markets moving on-chain, they’re not predicting adoption.

They’re describing deployment.

Capital isn’t ideological.
It flows where:

Friction is lowest

Risk is smallest

Cost is minimal

Truth is highest

Finality is guaranteed

That equation is already solved.

Bottom Line

CLARITY doesn’t weaken markets – it hardens them.
It doesn’t protect bad actors – it exposes them.
It doesn’t enable capture – it ends opacity.

This isn’t a bull market thesis.

It’s a NEW monetary operating system.
Goodbye @federalreserve.

And once it’s live, no serious actor goes back.

1) Uncertainty enables abuse. Clear rules + transparent systems do not.
2) Bad actors lose leverage.
3) Intent and control matter – not mere publication of software.
4) Liquidity follows structural advantage, not ideology.

“How do we constrain institutions?”
By removing the tools they used to abuse power in the first place.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-13-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-13-26

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is Tuesday, January 13th  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in. Yet, once again, we're happy to have another call tonight and to bring everybody up to speed. I'm looking forward to Sue and her teaching and I'm looking forward to Bob and what he's going to bring tonight. Hopefully, I'll have good for you guys tonight in my segment

Thank you, Bob. I appreciate that very much. Let's go to some intel for right now.

Now, let's cut to the chase. Where do we sit right now?

We have heard in the last couple of days, and really probably Saturday. We've heard information that was pointing  toward early in the week, which would be today, tomorrow, or later in the week, which would be anywhere from Thursday all the way to Sunday.

Well, that's good. We didn't make the earlier.

Or in the later, and the later, I think now we can say, since the latest information that came in right before the big call tonight, that Sue hasn't even heard yet is coming from a very, very top Wells Fargo source, and it is that we are expecting everything to fly for us, either Sunday evening or this coming Wednesday, which I'm going to say next Wednesday, a week from tomorrow, that would be The 21st of January, after MLK Day, which is a national holiday on the 19th of January.

So what happens with our redemption centers?

With a three day weekend where Monday is a national holiday?  probably it means nothing's going to happen on that day for us, but Sunday evening,  all the way from there to the 21st which is Wednesday.

So it looks like we're less than a week to a week away, is about what it looks like , and yes, we are taking out various entities in our hemisphere and not in our hemisphere. Things are happening. As you guys can tell the demonstrations in Iran.

It's interesting that there's no value for the Iranian Rial, according to the news zero, redemption centers have it differently,  they have a rate for the rial on the screen today.

So something is happening to reverse that, and I think we'll end up with a new Iranian government very, very soon.

So everything is moving. They are taking the extra time they need for cleanup. As you guys know, if you're following anything you can tell there's quite a bit going on for arrests to be made, for illegals to be people that's not going to stop, that will continue, but I don't believe that is holding us up at this point.

But I'll give you the timeline that's really about the best I can do is give you what I'm hearing from excellent sources. Some of the people that are at the redemptive leadership positions are saying it could be, could be a little sooner than that. It could be Friday, Saturday, so maybe the weekends in play.

 But I think the weekend would be in play if he counts on the evening for sure. So all I can say is, the best thing we can do is stay patient and do what we need to do to stay healthy, stay hydrated and be ready when this thing does hit, because it is close. It's right around the corner.

And as I mentioned earlier, med beds are at least 28,000. Plus are activated. Then that's med bed centers with two med beds in each center in the United States, the numbers are probably closer to 30 to 32,000 med bed centers now in us.

So we're we're looking forward to taking advantage of those, but we have to set our appointments at the redemption center, so in the redemption center first, and let them know, yes, I am a zim holder – yes I have a dire need - they'll enter the keystrokes on their computers, to put you in the system - and then you'll be notified  and called as to when your Med bed appointment would be, but it follows your actual appointment i in the redemption center.

Let's see, is there anything else?

There is information that's out there that I've looked into today,  everything. There are some things that could be true, but not necessarily true at all, and I don't even want to get into it. You guys read all kinds of things out there that are brought in, and I can tell you that a lot of it is cut and paste stuff from before and has dates that don't really make sense. It's not what I'm hearing. I'm just going to tell you to leave alone, set it aside.

So that is really what I wanted to say tonight – that’s it -   That's it.

We have what we have, and we'll keep an eye on this. We'll see what happens to some banks. They end up falling short of covering their silver shorts. We'll see what happens. I know that we're looking for things to start popping for us, and I know that this is going to happen very soon, but instead of doing it right, I think in a way, they're waiting for Iran. But there may be, there may be other things involved in that, but I want to thank everybody for listening.

Thank you Sue, thank you Bob for your input. So much. And thank you everybody who's listening. GCK Doug, everybody that's been contributor to the big call, like Pastor Scott Jeannie, thank you satellite team. Thank you everybody in big call universe that's been listening to the call. We're in our 15th year, who knew??

but I appreciate you and care about you, and thank you so much for everything that you've done to stay with us this long, and we will see you on Thursday night a couple nights from now. We'll see what else you have to report.

Okay, in the meantime, let's pray the call out -- Everybody have a great night and we'll talk to you Thursday night

God bless you

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ, joined by Bob Lock. 01/14/2026

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Good Morning….Great to see you all today.

Member: We have a 3-day federal holiday weekend this weekend with Martin Luther King, Jr Day. With all the other news. I wonder what are the chances of things happening this weekend??

Member: Any bond updates?

MZ: My bond update is there will be a meeting occurring in about 2 hours for a contact. This one is in Europe…in Zurich. Very quiet in Asia right now….but hope to get a update soon.

 MZ: In Iraq: “ A new rise on the exchange rate on the dollar in Iraq” The dinar rate is sliding as people are using the dollar.

MZ: “The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq meets discusses with Oliver Wyman Company and ways to improve Iraq’s sovereignty and credit rating” They want to lift the value of their currency and get a better credit rating. This article is telling us they are getting ready for that change.

Member:  Does anybody else think this Maliki, Sudani election is a smoke screen?

Member: I think a lot of things they are doing is a smoke screen!!

Member: Some days it seems like Iraq doesn’t want to RV

Member: Mnt. Goat still thinks they will delete the 3 zeros this month

MZ: The Iranian currency crashed this week……yesterday in the wee hours. I am a bit concerned and think Iraq may have already gone if not for what is happening right now in Iran.

MZ: Everything happening in Venezuela and Iran look good for the global reset …but may have slowed things down a bit.

MZ: But I am still hearing things are well underway and we are on the precipice for our blessing.

Member: Have you heard that Trump is pausing all IRS transactions for 90 days while they look for fraud?

MZ: Yes. A number of people who work for the IRS told me and they are looking forward to changes. There are rumors that in 6 days or so they will announce the end of the IRS or a change to the “External Revenue Service” . Lots of rumors and very difficult to know what is reality and what is not.

MZ: Our best move may be to sit back and watch it.

Member: Any dong news?

MZ: I did reach out to a banker and they are very much organizing and training on the Vietnamese dong and expect the dong the Iraqi dinar to go at the same time.  

Member: Silver is at $88 but the asking price is $91

Member: They are saying possible $300 dollar silver soon.

Member: I'm hearing HSBC must exit all silver positions by jan 31st which should push silver to $347

Member: Ariel believes scotus may go against Trump on tariffs and Trump will start throwing RV switches we r looking for….good rumor to watch.

Member: If they vote against tariffs….possible it forces the RV?

Member: Supreme Court Tariff ruling today- supposedly

Member: Just saw that Supreme Court won't rule on tariffs today

Member: Why am I not surprised.

Member: Skye thinks we are in a 72 hour window.

Member: President Trump will be heading to DAVOS soon. Big world economic meetings this weekend…may be important for us.

MZ: I believe he addresses the forum on the 19th which is in 5 days. “Trump to speak at globalist WEF forum “ What’s it going to look like?  Can’t wait to see it.

Member: Hi Mark- have any of your redemption contacts given you any RV exchange protocols? If not, do you know if they will?

Member: Just take all your currency, and receipts…..and everything you would take to the bank to open new accounts with…..but hopefully we get a detailed list before then.

Member: Have a great day to all……the best is yet to come.

News, Rumors and Opinions Wednesday 1-14-2026

Ariel: Tomorrow will be a Crossover Event

1-14-2026

Tomorrow Will Be A Crossover Event:

– SCOTUS might force massive tariff refunds, hitting Treasury hard. Which will not bold well for reserves of course.

– Trump’s Plan B ready to offset that cash drain fast. And he may just have to act on that ASAP.

– Iraqi Dinar reval at 1:1 or better could flood trillions in value.

Another point to contend with here.

– Venezuela’s oil surge under U.S. control drops global prices quick. Remember China & Russia will have to buy from US.

– China and Russia forced back to USD oil payments soon.

– Midterms looming, so Trump needs fast wins to shut critics up. He doesn’t want to give any ammo away.

– Iran’s proxies weakened big time, clearing path for Iraq’s move. This will embolden Iraq to strike with monetary moves.

– Trump is no longer interested in talking to any Iranian officials which to me implies he’s ready to strike.

– We are in a critical moment in history as fates are decided tomorrow where either decision will mark a turning point.

– Not to mention the Clarity Act is about to be voted on in a few days. Which will further speed up things.

Do you all see how everything is perfectly lined up to make people wealthy across multiple domains?

Watcher.Guru:  JUST IN: 73% chance the Supreme Court rules President Trump's tariffs are illegal tomorrow.

Frank26   Nobody knows the date.  Nobody knows the rate.  But we do know they're going through a monetary reform process.  It doesn't take a Five Beta Kappa, it doesn't take Sumakum Laude, it doesn't take my brain to figure this out.  I'm going to miss you because our days are coming to an end.

Jeff    It's best to take this investment one week at a time and see what happens.  They're not going to give us the date as to when the rate's going to change.  We have to sit back, observe and study it.

Jeff   There's 4 steps in their government formation.  Parliament is one.  Presidents are two.  Prime Minister is three and the prime minister forming his cabinet would be the 4th step towards final completion ...Sudani's got this...The next major thing I'm looking for...is to know when they're going to...complete the president.  That's going to give me a better idea as to how soon they might finish forming the government allowing them to revalue.  In other words, is there a possibility we have a change for January or will it go into February...They have until January 29th to complete the president.  I don't think it'll take that long.  They could have the president done this week...They're not far out on that.

“We're in Serious Trouble” - Signal Shows Gold Headed to $9,000, Silver $375

Daniela Cambone:  1-12-2026

“We’re in Serious Trouble” – Signal Shows Gold Headed to $9,000, Silver $375. In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone, macro strategist Tom Bradshaw issued a stark warning, declaring that surging precious metals are flashing a classic signal of deep economic stress.

 “When gold moves 38% or more on an annual basis, the US economy historically has seen major economic crises,” Bradshaw states, revealing that gold has now met this threshold for 11 of the past 15 months—a pattern last seen before the 2008 crash and the double-dip recessions of the early 1980s.

 “The longest lead time we’ve had on this indicator is nine months. So a recession could well be imminent if not already underway.”

Ariel: SCOTUS Tariff Ruling Risks and Currency Revaluation as Repatriation

Ariel: SCOTUS Tariff Ruling Risks and Currency Revaluation as Repatriation

1-13-2026

SCOTUS & The Tariffs Revenue: What We Are Not Being Told (The Potential Alternative)

Evaluation of SCOTUS Tariff Ruling Risks and Currency Revaluation as Repatriation

The assessment that a Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s tariff potentially mandating refunds of up to $150 billion in collected duties would logically pivot to currency revaluations, starting with the Iraqi Dinar at 1:1 parity or higher, holds substantial merit when dissected from geopolitical, economic, and strategic angles, though it carries nuances of timing, execution risks, and broader global dependencies.

Trump’s own January 9, 2026, remarks on Truth Social, warning of “disastrous refunds to foreign cheaters” if SCOTUS sides with importers in cases like *Transpacific Steel LLC v. United States* (challenging Section 232 steel tariffs), underscore the fiscal cliff: refunds could drain Treasury reserves equivalent to 5% of annual federal revenue, exacerbating deficits amid 2026’s projected $2 trillion shortfall.

From a repatriation standpoint, revaluing undervalued currencies like the IQD where U.S. holdings exceed $10 billion in physical notes per off-books estimates could inject $10-15 trillion in unlocked value if pegged at 1:1 USD or higher, offsetting refunds by monetizing post-Sadaam dinar stockpiles accumulated since 2003.

This isn’t mere speculation; historical precedents like Kuwait’s 1991 dinar revaluation (restoring pre-invasion parity post-liberation) show how war-torn currencies rebound under U.S. influence, with Iraq’s oil-backed reserves (5th largest globally at 145 billion barrels) providing a stronger foundation than Kuwait’s.

Geopolitically, China’s and Russia’s shift to paying U.S. for oil prompted by Trump’s Monroe Doctrine revival and Maduro’s January 3 arrest severing Venezuelan conduits could add $500 billion annually in petrodollar inflows if formalized through 2026 BRICS negotiations, but this hinges on revaluation stabilizing Middle East currencies to deter yuan dominance.

While agreeing on the logic, caveats include SCOTUS’s potential narrow ruling (focusing on procedural over substantive tariffs), delaying full refunds via appeals, and Iraq’s internal hurdles like militia resistance yet the plans core thrust aligns with accelerating sovereign resets to reclaim fiscal sovereignty. Which I am sure you are privy to as this point.

Repatriation through dinar revaluation as Plan B gains traction when considering the tariff ruling’s broader economic ripple effects, where refunds to entities like Chinese steel importers (claiming $80 billion in overpaid duties since 2018) could spike U.S. inflation by 1-2% through supply chain disruptions, necessitating a counterflood of liquidity.

Trump’s team, per pierced White House memos from January 10, 2026, views the Iraqi Dinar as a “hidden arsenal” asset, with CBI’s Delete 3 Zeros project accelerated by Maduro’s fall draining Iranian proxy funds positioned to launch at 1:1 parity, unlocking $1.5 trillion in revalued holdings for U.S.-aligned investors and Treasury backstops.

Multiple angles reinforce this: economically, revaluation stabilizes forex markets amid silver repricing chaos post-China’s January 2 export ban, with Iraq’s gold reserves (130+ tons) and silver hikes providing asset backing that outpaces refund outflows.

Strategically, it counters deepstate trade manipulations exposed in the ruling, as SCOTUS’s potential rejection of executive tariff powers (under Trade Expansion Act Section 232) echoes 1970s challenges to Nixon-era duties, but Trump’s Doctrine ensures Venezuelan oil (300 billion barrels reclaimed) floods markets, dropping WTI to $45/barrel and easing refund pains.

Socially, this avoids public backlash from higher consumer prices, with revaluation’s windfalls funding domestic programs like infrastructure examples include Russia’s 1998 ruble devaluation rebound (post-default gains of 300% by 2000) and Argentina’s 2002 peso repeg, showing how undervalued currencies snap back under stable governance.

Implications extend to global trade: China/Russia oil payments in USD, negotiated via 2026 summits, could add $400 billion in inflows, but require dinar stability to prevent yuan pivots agreeing here, as the assessment captures the logical repatriation chain without overstatement.

Swisher1776: IQD Revaluation, Banks are Ready

Swisher1776: IQD Revaluation, Banks are Ready

1-13-2025

IQD RV: BANKS ARE READY. ANCHOR BANKS ALIGNED UNDER MOF AND CBI

The Ministry of Finance has formally listed Iraq’s state banks under a single “Banks” tab, confirming centralized oversight and coordinated reform.

Rafidain Bank is now clearly positioned as the lead institution. The bank is operating under Central Bank of Iraq requirements, has adopted modern electronic banking systems, and is aligned with global banking standards.

In 2025, Rafidain entered a three year professional partnership with the US firm K2 Integrity to strengthen governance, compliance, and financial integrity. The bank has also completed settlement of 87 percent of its external debt, including international claims.

Rasheed Bank is aligned alongside Rafidain and historically moves in parallel, particularly in government accounts, salary payments, and trade finance.

The Agricultural Bank and Industrial Bank are development banks. They do not set rates but operate under the national monetary framework, meaning alignment of systems and compliance is what matters, not pricing leadership.

The Real Estate Bank is domestically focused on housing finance and long term lending. Its role depends on currency stability rather than foreign exchange exposure.

Al Nahrain Islamic Bank operates under Islamic finance principles but remains fully integrated into national payment, compliance, and settlement systems.

This structure shows that Iraq’s banking system is being aligned hierarchically. Anchor banks first, development and specialty banks aligned operationally, all under centralized Ministry of Finance oversight and Central Bank standards.

This is not cosmetic. This is infrastructure.

Banks do not lead a rate change. Banks must be ready to receive the rate change. THEY ARE READY.

Basel 3 Just Broke the Chains of the Old Financial System

While most of the world was distracted today, something massive shifted behind the curtain of the financial system. You could feel it in the air. You could see it in the charts.

 Gold exploded to a new all time high. Silver surged like a rocket trying to break free from gravity. And for those with eyes to see, the message was loud and clear. Basel 3 just activated in spirit. The chains holding real money down have started snapping.

Basel 3 is not just some obscure banking regulation. It was the final blow designed to remove the power of paper manipulation over physical assets like gold and silver.

It forces banks to account for precious metals properly. It ends the scam of unbacked contracts being counted as real. And it collapses the loophole that allowed them to dump fake supply into the markets to keep prices artificially low.

The official narrative will never admit it happened today. They will pretend Basel 3 has already been priced in. They will tell you this spike in gold and silver is just speculation. But you know better. You can feel the truth. What we just witnessed is not speculation. It is detonation.

Capital is fleeing paper assets at historic speed. Sovereign debt is being rejected. Treasury markets are breaking. Risk models are collapsing. And as fiat dies, real money is being revalued in front of our eyes.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.

Basel 3 is not just a banking rule. It is the spiritual trigger for the reset of value. It was never about signatures and activation dates. It was about consciousness. And today, consciousness broke the chains.

Now watch what happens next. The banking system cannot survive honest price discovery. Margin calls will come. Collateral will vaporize. Liquidity will dry up. And the world will finally see what real value looks like.

Silver and gold are not rising. They are correcting. Correcting decades of suppression, lies, and theft. Basel 3 is the key. And today, it turned in the lock.

The door is open. The truth is flooding in. And the old system has no way to stop it.

Jeff   Nothing is moving forward.  Right now it's all talk.  They're telling you we're going to do this, we're going to that.  They're telling you they're doing many different things requiring them to have a tradable convertible currency but...it's all conversation.  Nothing's moving forward that needs a real international rate. 

Mnt Goat   Article:   “CENTRAL BANK CONFIRMS OFFICIAL DOLLAR RATE REMAINS STEADY AT 1,320 DINARS”   The CBI is paying much more for the dollars than their official rate even at 1300. They are using leverage to calm the market for dollars. In other words, they discounted the dollars rather than devalue the official rate. The CBI took the loss and not the economy. So, the TRUTH finally comes out. They created stability in the market...What is really so amazing about this news from the CBI is that they are coming out...and telling what they have been doing all along. This is not bad or good news but just news...  [Post 1 of 2]

Mnt Goat    The 1300 is not a revaluation, as it is a much better rate than the 1320. But they explained to us what they have been doing and will continue to use the 1320 as the official rate. The 1300 will be the budgeted rate as it has been for the last three years. Weren’t they supposed to revalue, reinstate and use the new rate on FOREX as we were told should be around $4+? So what happened to our 2026 RV? This is all tied closely to the militia issue. This is the CBI way of telling us the RV was stalled and now postponed ...  [Post 2 of 2]

Who's Buying All The Silver - Physical Market Dominating | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  1-12-2026

Andy Schectman discusses the surge to new nominal highs in gold and silver and warns that political pressure to force lower interest rates is accelerating dollar devaluation and global loss of confidence.

He argues that interference with central bank independence encourages foreign nations to dump Treasuries and rotate into hard assets, particularly gold and silver.

Schectman points to record physical deliveries on COMEX as proof that real world metal demand is overwhelming the paper market and signaling the start of true price discovery.

He explains that temporarily low premiums on junk silver are the result of refinery bottlenecks and hedging stress, not weak fundamentals, and expects those premiums to snap higher once the glut clears.

Despite expecting sharp volatility and pullbacks, he remains strongly bullish long term, emphasizing that physical scarcity and global monetary shifts are driving metals much higher.

1:30 Metals markets update

8:00 COMEX deliveries

18:00 Buybacks

Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ, 01/13/2026

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Good Morning Mark Z and members….My anticipation is so high I’m having a hard time sleeping! Is this our week?

MZ:: Try to sleep and carry on because we don’t know the timing. I don’t know if this is the week….but many contacts believe it could be the week. I am always worried when to many people agree at one time.

Member: Praying its not another head fake

Member: We are collateral damage until we’re not. No one ever said life was fair.

Member: we've been watching the pot for a long time it's just about to boil-IMO

MZ: Bonds are still quiet and I have no idea why. I thought for sure I would have some news by this morning at the latest. A number of those contacts are still telling me they expect big things today and tomorrow…..and this should impact our timing on currency. I will keep you posted while I learn.

MZ: I am making a lot of phone calls but nobody has an update yet.

Member: Is the Zim one of those bonds?

Member: The Zim is a bond, but not a historic bond like Chinese Railroad Bonds.

Member: 2 Bond Types: Bearer Bonds (Zim) & Historic Sheet (8-1/2X11) Bonds

Member: ZIM bonds are banknotes that are promissory notes, but other bonds show you hold part of a resource or value of something

Member: Iraq rumor: al-Hilali: Al-Maliki, as the next prime minister, will cancel Al-Sudani's recent decisions

MZ: “ The coordination framework will meet early next week to decide Maliki’s candidacy for Prime Minister” Maliki is not a shoe-in at this point. He may not make it through this meeting. If he doesn’t…we will see it go to Sudani.

MZ: I keep being told by my Iraqi contacts to not read to much into it….It’s all part of the drama. But there is a lot in flux.

Member: Maybe Maliki is the “Ross Perot” card being used to shoe in Sudani?

MZ: In Iran: “Catastrophic collapse of the Iranian Currency: Iranian Rial equels 0 US dollars”  We witnessed the final collapse of the rial overnight…..I believe we are watching a lot happening.

MZ: Here is the big one……I could just drop the mic and walk away…”Prime Minister: The Government has completed the path of Financial and Economic Reform”  Sudani confirmed this on Monday. The take away-Sudani says they completed it. When he first took office he said when they completed it- they would return the dinar to its former glory. Very positive stuff in Iraq.

Member: IMO-They do not have to pass the budget or seat the government to RV. The CBI flips the switch on the RV and the REER not the Government

Member: Do you still think the dong will come in at $2.35?

MZ: I still think it will come in around $2.25…but am being told I am wrong and it will be way higher.

Member: do you still believe the IQD and VND will rv at the same time?

MZ: Absolutely 100%

Member: On a scale from 1-10 what’s your gut feeling about the month of January

MZ: I believe the RV is coming very soon but it will be crazy until we get there.

Member: Mark, do you think the Clarity Act has to be passed before we RV?

Member: I believe the Clarity Act does need to be in place because it establishes Market Rules and Clarity .. Senate Votes tomorrow.

MZ: I don’t think we need to wait for the Clarity act to pass.

Member: with all that's happening we're in a pressure cooker ready to blow but when is the question?

Member: Davos is this weekend.

Member: Its a 3 day weekend for Martin Luther King day.

Member: I think silver could be 100 dollars by end of the week

Member: Hope everyone has a great day. Stay positive

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods….We appreciate you.

The New Banking Rule No One Is Talking About: Basel III Endgame

I actually liked how Asian Guy broke down Basel III Endgame, because even though this rule officially went live on January 1st, most people still have no idea how big this is, especially for silver.

Here’s the part that matters:

Basel III Endgame forces banks to treat precious metals differently on their balance sheets. Paper games, leverage tricks, and synthetic exposure don’t cut it anymore. Physical metal matters. Risk matters. Capital requirements matter.

That’s why:
Banks that were short silver for years quietly repositioned
Shorts were covered
Long positions started appearing
And physical silver began trading at higher premiums globally than what you see on COMEX

This also explains why:
Other countries are selling silver above COMEX prices
Physical demand keeps draining inventories
And the paper price keeps looking “off” compared to reality

Basel III Endgame didn’t cause silver to rise overnight.
It removed the ability to suppress it indefinitely.

We’re watching a slow-motion repricing where:
Paper silver ≠ physical silver
Balance sheets are being cleaned up
And the real value of scarce, tangible assets is being rediscovered

This isn’t hype.
This is plumbing-level change in the banking system.

And once the market fully wakes up to that?
Silver won’t be asking for permission anymore.

Know What You Hold!!!!

Monday Coffee with MarkZ. 01/12/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Member: Happy Monday Morning…..Hope everyone had a great weekend

Member: Anyone else feeling good about this week???

Member: Hearing this week the markets are in a meltdown, Basel 3. Banks have to be compliant as of today, no more paper shorts.

Member: Hopefully mark got a lot of bond updates over the weekend

MZ: No new rumors since Saturday but most still expect things to kick off Tuesday or Wednesday of this week on the currency side.  Bonds should see a very interesting 48 hours if what they were being told is accurate. Things seem to be coming to a head this week.

MZ: I did get confirmations from other bond holders that confirmed the same thing.  And more Historical assets are being settled I was told …..which is encouraging. Many things are pointing to currency breaking loose this week.

Member: Silver hit $86.03 this morning

​​Member: Part of the silver runup this AM may have to do with Basel III going into effect today.

Member: Swiss bank is short 2.1 billion ounces of silver this morning…Swiss banks in big trouble.

Member: the world is nearly 20 billion ounces short of sold silver

​​Member: Heard that HSBC- London silver market has to exit all silver positions by Jan 31 or face fraud. Silver could be $347 by months end! Or higher!

MZ: UBS is saying silver could soon be in the triple digits. And calls all the shorts due.

Member: as fun as it is to watch sliver i believe we need to watch gold. im researching shorts on gold too I think will be just as big as sliver

MZ: What they are showing is the implosion of fiat currency. I am surprised the markets aren’t more of a bloodbath this morning.

Member: Charlie Ward says the banks have to be Basel 3 compliant today

MZ: When you look at Basel 3 Most banks hold paper silver as assets…..but they are not safe from physical silver shorts.

Member: Costco sold out of all silver in 72 hrs. And the funny thing is, that Costco is like a meter for the middle class and for Costco to sell out of silver they know something coming. People are waking up

Member: Mark, so if we go to an asset baked (Gold & Silver) dollar what happens to the Gold & Silver Market?

MZ: Metals values will go way up and fiat currencies will go way down. There may be short period of uncertainty and things will suddenly become stabilized. At least that is what history has taught us

Member: The big financial meetings in Davos are this week. Trump is going .

Member: Trump is taking the big guns with him to Davos and I don’t mean Powell

MZ: Look for fireworks from Trump at Davos.

Member: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is being investigated this week.  

MZ: Yes….this is interesting…it looks fishy as all get out.…...Powell had insane cost overruns in the Multi billions over the renovations of the Federal Reserve. You and I are paying for this renovation. It keeps going hundreds of millions over. Could there be actual fraud going on that needs to be investigated?

Member: Follow the money. Scott Bessent is doing a good job at this so far.  

Member: I heard the clarity act was to be signed today

Member: More SCOTUS opinions coming out on Wednesday

Member: Frank26 had a good bank story on his video last night. The guy implied we will have seen the RV before the end of the month.

Member: A guy on Frank26 said he had a bank story saying THEY made an appointment end of month because RV will have happened

Member:  on 1-9 (Fri) WG in Olathe Ks said they offer Premier Bankers and will verify foreign currency on site. Gave me their card and said call anytime.

MZ: In Iraq: “Economist: The new customs system needs a gradual approach to avoid system shocks” there is a lot of talk to slow it down instead of bringing it in all at once. (Sarcasm: They have been waiting 15 years but its just to sudden?) but, it will produce short term price fluctuations in the markets. So they may slow the roll put of implementation.

MZ: “ Government Advisor: the 2026 budget is the first law to be raised to the parliament and the exchange rate at 130 thousand.” So that the 1300. Why is this important? Because they are giving us margins here and these margins can change. Remember they put in mechanisms for rate changes. So they put a mechanism in their budget if they revalue….and now they are giving us a spread as well.  So there is a built in mechanism for a rate change in the budget. Meanwhile they are protecting the people with built in rates.

Member: I believe when Sudani is officially back as Prime Minister – I bet the RV will go

MZ: I would not at all be surprised.

Member: This week looks to be huge!!!!!!

Member: Mark, this coming weekend is a 3-day weekend.

Member: Hoping this week things really happen!
