Member: Good Morning – Welcome to a new week

Member: But, is it the week we have been waiting for???

MZ: I am expecting a crazy week. I hear rumors that this is our week….but they also said that last week and we did not get it.

MZ: On the bond side- we are still waiting for updates today. Updates usually start flowing Mon. afternoon to Tuesday morning.

Member: Rumor -Melanie Hines says a not public but supposedly IQD  is on the Forex where the rate is at $4.81...

Member: Mike Bara said the IQD would be about $5.81

MZ: There has not been a rate change yet. But lots of misinformation on rates out there.

Member: Frank26 hearing Iraq will take the full 15 days to decide on the PM. Typical Iraq stalling. The US really needs to have a come to Jesus meeting with Iraq to get this done.

Member: Frank26 also said Alak is being replaced because of his ties to Iran. But who knows if that is true.

MZ: I have not seen that from any of my sources.

Member: sudani in , sudani out, sudani in, what the heck is iraq doing, they are a  mess

MZ: More people and groups came out this weekend in support of sudani. They are dropping support of Maliki. They allegedly delayed the vote from this weekend until today. I am told they are trying to seat Sudani today. But it has not happened yet.

Member: Sudani seemed SO resistant to changing the rate. Do you think he'd still drag his heels in he gets reelected? Not to mention his love affair with the abusive Iran…

Member: Amir Tsarfati reporting that US has suspended its security coordination with Iraq until a new Gov't is formed and those responsible for attacking American targets in country are identified.

Member: In the Newsweek Article Sudani talks about a new age in Iraq and new relationship with US going forward and says They are ready now

MZ: “Currency printing in Iraq: Between financial need and Economic risk on the dinar” a bit of fear mongering from Iraq. This is normal and happens in every country due to politics. Saleh of course is very reassuring.

MZ: “Iraq seeks solutions to revenue shortfall” Here is saleh giving us his common sense version that the government has lots of options.

Member: May 1st All Venezuelan people get pay raise ....sounds like a rate hike to me

Member: I'm literally blown away with all the news I'm receiving about what we're all waiting for on so many levels. Not even Currency related but from different directions that confirms that we are close.

Member:  I feel good about this month for us. Lots of prophetic words pointing to now for it to happen.

Member: Something big is supposed to happen at the end of April I hope it's the Rv...

Member: Enjoy your day everyone…..God Bless

Freedom Fighter: XRP is about to Make a lot More Sense

Attention:

XRP is about to make a lot more sense to people.

Global currencies require speed, liquidity, and settlement.

The Clarity Act isn’t about hype — it’s about currency infrastructure.

When regulation forces clarity, banks don’t fight it…
they integrate with systems built for cross-border value movement.

That’s where XRP fits.

Not price.
Use case.

Watch the shift.

Majeed KSA: Venezuela to Re-enter the Global Financial System

4-19-2026

Majeed KSA @majeed66224499

Venezuela’s president last week asked US to lift the sanction on their central bank saying, removing them would help the country’s economy and would help increasing citizens/workers income.

And in the quote post from today … saying removing the sanction will help Venezuela to re-enter the global financial system.

All that indicates one thing.

The rate has to be on Forex BEFORE May 1.

In order for Venezuela to increase workers income by May 1.

MajeedKSA: This article from April 14 Talking about the eased sanction on Venezuela Central bank and why it matters “Why it matters: Venezuela's government-run bank and other large financial institutions can now begin legally using U.S. currency, directly receive billions of dollars in oil sales and re-enter the U.S.-controlled global financial system to help its damaged economy.” Forex

Jon Dowling Weekly Wrap Up & Latest Financial Updates

Jon Dowling Weekly Wrap Up & Latest Financial Updates

4-18-2026

As we delve into the intricate dance of global events, the latest RV (Revaluation) report, recorded on April 18th, 2026, serves as a crucial compass. This comprehensive update from the host, fresh from his move to Middle Tennessee, underscores a vital principle: approaching unfolding geopolitical, economic, and financial developments with logic, not emotion.

The report paints a vivid picture of a world on the cusp of significant transformation, driven by strategic political maneuvers, shifting economic landscapes, and a volatile geopolitical climate.

At the heart of this report lies a detailed look at President Trump’s strategic timeline for peace negotiations and sweeping economic reforms, culminating around April 27th.

This date isn’t just arbitrary; it’s pegged as the potential moment for the passing of the pivotal Clarity Act and the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chair, replacing Jerome Powell.

This move is presented as more than just a personnel change; it’s a fundamental restructuring of the financial system, with significant implications for global markets.

The April 18th, 2026 RV report paints a picture of a world on the cusp of significant transformation. From fundamental shifts in U.S. financial leadership to intricate currency revaluations across the globe and the ever-present specter of geopolitical tensions, the message is clear: understanding these intricate connections is paramount. As the host rightly emphasizes, logical analysis will be key to navigating these evolving landscapes.

NATO Contractor Talks About The Dinar

NATO Contractor Talks About The Dinar

Dinar For Dummies: 4-18-2026

In the world of alternative investments, few topics spark as much debate, skepticism, and passion as the Iraqi Dinar (IQD). For years, the conversation has been dominated by “gurus” and internet rumors.

However, a recent in-depth conversation between long-time investor Stephen and Guy Vantresca—a former U.S. Army tank officer and defense technology expert—offers a refreshing, high-level perspective that moves beyond the hype and into the realm of geopolitics, macroeconomics, and military strategy.

If you’ve been following the Dinar, or are simply curious about the economic reconstruction of the Middle East, this discussion provides a masterclass in the complexities of currency revaluation.

What makes this dialogue unique is the background of the speakers. Stephen brings the perspective of a seasoned investor who has weathered the ups and downs of the IQD market, while Guy Vantresca provides a lens shaped by the Cold War, defense contracting, and IT infrastructure.

Together, they distance themselves from the typical “get-rich-quick” rhetoric. Instead, they frame the Iraqi Dinar as a legitimate long-term investment tied directly to Iraq’s ability to stabilize its borders, modernize its infrastructure, and assert economic independence.

One of the most frequent comparisons in the Dinar community is the recovery of the Kuwaiti Dinar after the Gulf War. Stephen and Guy revisited this history, noting how Sadaam Hussein’s 1991 invasion decimated Kuwait’s currency.

Following the liberation, Kuwait underwent a rapid revaluation that saw its currency become one of the most valuable in the world.

Guy Vantresca highlighted a pivotal shift currently underway in Iraq: the move toward a modernized “Smart City” digital currency system. This isn’t just about technology for technology’s sake; it’s a strategic economic move.

A major theme of the conversation was the current geopolitical climate. Both Stephen and Guy agreed that the ongoing tensions and conflicts in the region, while tragic, may serve as a catalyst for Iraq’s economic liberation.

There is a strategic move to decouple Iraq from Iranian influence. If Iraq can successfully exit the shadow of its neighbor and fully integrate with the global economy, the primary “bottleneck” preventing the Dinar’s revaluation may finally be removed.

While the speakers were optimistic, they remained grounded. They addressed the skepticism surrounding Iraq’s large money supply, explaining that currency valuations are driven by complex political factors and national assets, not just simple math.

Perhaps most importantly, they discussed the “day after” strategy. A currency revaluation is a taxable event. Stephen reminded viewers that having a sound financial plan, understanding tax liabilities, and practicing wealth protection are just as important as the investment itself.

The conversation concluded with a forward-looking vision. Stephen announced plans to build a community of Dinar investors focused on collaboration and financial education. The goal is to move from “investors” to “wealth managers,” sharing knowledge on tax strategies and reinvestment opportunities once the revaluation occurs.

The Iraqi Dinar remains a complex and often misunderstood asset. However, through the lens of military history and technological evolution, the path to Iraq’s economic recovery becomes clearer. It is an investment tied to the sovereignty and modernization of a nation.

For those looking for a deeper dive, we highly recommend watching the full video from Dinar For Dummies.

Iraq Discusses Deleting the Zeros

Iraq Discusses Deleting the Zeros

Edu Matrix:  4-17-2026

What does “deleting the zeros” really mean for the Iraqi dinar—and why is Iraq talking about it again right now?

In this video, we break down the truth in simple terms so you can clearly understand what’s happening inside Iraq’s financial system.

You’ll learn what redenomination actually means, why Iraq has so much cash in circulation, and how everyday citizens are affected when large amounts of dinars are needed for small purchases.

We also explain why Iraq is working to modernize its banking system, reduce dependence on cash and U.S. dollars, and move toward digital payments.

 Most importantly, we answer the big question many investors are asking: does deleting the zeros increase the value of the dinar?

If you’re holding Iraqi dinar, thinking about investing, or just want the facts without the hype—this video gives you a clear, honest explanation based on what Iraq has actually said.

Clare:  The US State Department demands that Iraq dismantle the militias and threatens "serious consequences" for their supporters.

4/17/2026

The US State Department on Friday evening called on the Iraqi government to dismantle armed factions allied with Iran, threatening their supporters with "serious consequences," following the imposition of sanctions on seven of their leaders.

The US State Department said in a statement: "We affirm our support for a stable, prosperous and sovereign Iraq, but at the same time we call on it to prevent its territory from being used to launch activities that destabilize the region."

The US State Department called on Iraqi authorities to "dismantle the groups allied with Iran," noting that these groups "threaten the lives of Americans as they have planned and attacked American individuals and interests in Iraq, and they undermine the country's sovereignty."

She noted, "We are taking decisive action to hold Iraqi groups allied with Iran accountable," and warned that "those who support militia violence in Iraq will face dire consequences."

Earlier today, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control announced it had added seven Iraqi faction leaders to its sanctions list, holding them responsible for planning, directing, and carrying out attacks against U.S. personnel, facilities, and interests in Iraq.

The sanctions, according to the statement, included: leaders in Kataib Hezbollah Radwan Youssef Hamid Al-Mohammad, Hassan Dhiab and Ammar Jassim Kazem Al-Ramahi, leaders in Kataib Sayyid Al-Shuhada Khalid Jamil and Saeed Kazem, leader in Asaib Ahl Al-Haq Safaa Adnan Jabbar Suwaid, and leader in Harakat Al-Nujaba Hisham Hashem.  LINK

Stephen  Do not ask your bank today if they're dealing with the Iraqi dinar.  Because most banks are going to give you a very blanket answer saying, 'no we're not dealing with the Iraqi dinar nor do we have plans to deal with the Iraqi dinar.'  A lot of people who are uneducated or uninformed, they take that to mean that the bank is never going to deal with the Iraq dinar.  Then they get upset...down...frustrated because they're thinking, 'How am I going to exchange my dinar once it revalues?'  I'm telling you once the Iraqi dinar has value and is no longer on a program rate and is no longer considered an exotic currency, the bank is going to deal with you.

Frank26  The lifting of the three zeros of the Iraqi dinar has officially started...This is an amazing day for the monetary reform...What they need to do now is add value to the currency in order to remove the three zero notes...In doing so it will introduce lower notes with purchasing power because they will have that power added by a different exchange rate.

Reset Intelligence  The Saturday [the 26th] fuse is not about who sits in the chair. It is about what the chair activates. President to prime minister to cabinet to budget to HCL to rate. That sequence was laid out in The Constitutional Clock. It is now past the halfway mark.

Ask THESE Questions Before You Go To The Bank

Ask THESE Questions Before You Go To The Bank

Dinar For Dummies:  4-16-2026

For many in the investment world, the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) represents a unique, albeit polarizing, opportunity. Since 2011, Steven—entrepreneur and seasoned investor—has navigated the turbulent waters of the Dinar market. In a recent video on the Dinar For Dummies channel, Steven pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to be ready for a potential Revaluation (RV).

His message is clear: Stop chasing “hopeium” and start focusing on logistics.

If you are a Dinar holder, it’s time to move past the rumors of “confirmed dates” and “leaked rates” and start building a professional exchange strategy. Here is the blueprint for practical preparation.

The Dinar community is often flooded with unverified rumors. Steven emphasizes that the exact timing and rate of an RV remain uncertain, and very few people—if any—have credible, inside information.

Instead of refreshing forums for a “secret date,” your time is better spent preparing for the moment the window opens. Success isn’t just about holding the currency; it’s about having a plan to exit the position efficiently.

When the RV occurs, you shouldn’t be walking into your local bank blindly. Steven suggests a proactive approach by interviewing banks beforehand to understand their specific policies.

For those with significant holdings, Steven suggests looking beyond the retail teller window.

Private Banking and Wealth Management: If the RV results in a significant windfall, standard retail banking may not be the best fit. Private banking services offer more personalized care, better security for large transactions, and potential breaks on exchange fees.

The “Spread” Strategy: Rather than exchanging your entire holding in one go, Steven advises spreading out transactions. This helps mitigate the risk of sudden rate fluctuations and allows you to manage the tax implications more effectively.

Getting the money is only half the battle; keeping it is the other half. One of the most critical aspects of post-RV life is tax strategy.

Steven teased an upcoming interview with a former NATO contractor and experienced Dinar investor to dive deep into these topics. Understanding how to structure your wealth legally through trusts or specific business entities can mean the difference between long-term financial freedom and a massive tax headache.

The potential of the Iraqi Dinar is a marathon, not a sprint. Steven’s approach is a breath of fresh air in a space often dominated by emotional highs and lows. By focusing on bank relationships, fee negotiations, and legal preparedness, you transition from a “speculator” to a “professional investor.”

As Steven suggests, the goal is to maximize the benefits while minimizing the risks.

Want to dive deeper into the specifics? Watch the full video on Dinar For Dummies for a comprehensive walkthrough of the exchange process and stay tuned for Steven’s upcoming in-depth guide on tax strategies and legal structures.

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……..we are waiting for great news

MZ: I just hope some of the bond rumors we are hearing are accurate. A number of bond contacts have been keeping me somewhat abreast of the meetings they had this week. They are ecstatic.

MZ: They are reporting that the paymasters and attorneys handling bond redemptions for some of the groups have been funded and not allowed to distribute until next week.

MZ: I will treat this as a rumor until someone I personally know has their bond money from their paymasters and its in their accounts and spendable.  But supposedly these paymasters have specif instructions for distribution next week.

MZ: I know a couple people in Zim groups who are also very upbeat.

Member: Doesn't the rate need to be revealed for Bonds to be paid?

MZ: For currencies to be paid- we need the rates..….not bonds. Do I think they are going to reveal the rate after the bonds are paid? Yes.

Member: Will Venezuela be in the first basket?

MZ: I am hearing it will be…..but not fully convinced yet that it will be.

Member: Bruce was saying he could see the Rate change early next week with us going to the Redemption Center on Wed.

Member: Iraq rumor…..Sudani has secured the majority support to remain in office another term.

MZ: Yes -that is what is being reported in Iraqi news. “ PM Sudani’s bloc says he has secured majority backing for second term bid”  so the rumor on the streets is he has secured the majority. They say they have every intension of voting on this Saturday.

Member: Mark—if you could guess, what do you think our trigger may be? PM seated? War over? Something else?

Member: Doesn’t the HCL need the rate so wouldn’t we already know the rate before they vote on it?

Member: I heard that the Clarity Act needs to pass before things will start happening. No idea if its true.

Member: Holly Celiano states Clarity acts will be completed by end on month or early May and she says nothing goes until then

Member: This was never going to happen until the market crashes. IMO it’s so close mid next week.

Member: My 2 cents; RV and NESARA to be done on or before the Great 4th of July Celebration of the return /of the REPUBLIC.

Member: once we receive the notification to schedule an appointment at the redemption center, how will we be able to verify that it’s from a legitimate source, given how much fraud & spam out there?

Member: Why would we have 250 celebration on July 4th if we have nothing to celebrate.. let’s hope we can celebrate wayyyyy before this day

Member: With the new Treasury bills coming out and with the news the P.Trump signature on the new money by July 4th, I wonder how long has this money been printed ?

Member: Will there still be a QFS? Many think it will be called something else?

MZ: Blockchain and leger technology will give us a place to hold our funds safely, securely and transparently. This will be a cool new world where we can have asset backed currency with metals. I cannot wait to start talking about that.  

Member: I wonder- will Sec. Bessent will come out with New Currency Announcement or will Trump do it himself? Roosevelt made public radio address in 1933. Nixon by TV in 1972.

Member: its peculiar timing for Scott Bessent to be meeting with his counterparts from other countries over the last couple of days. Its almost as if its final sign offs for this weekend?

MZ: I’m glad someone else noticed that….Scott Bessent sounds like the director of the central bank. But he is with the Treasury. It is very interesting what Scott Bessent is doing around the world right now. What he is doing is very unusual.

Member: there is a YT called Dalio Mindset talk of Scott Bessent saying publicly of a “Bretton Woods realignment”…very good video that explains all the history of BW and the US (c a b a l)

Member: I keep playing a scenario in my head what my reaction to the RV news will be. I see a lot of hyperventilating and light headedness.

Member: I think many of us will not believe it when it really does happen…..so many “boy who cried wolves” scenarios over the years …lol

Member: I am afraid to get excited. ​​No Expectations means No Disappointments.

Member: Nothing, Nothing, Nothing…then SUDDENLY

 Member: I hope everyone has a great weekend……..Stay safe.

Currency Revaluation Layer – The Payoff Window Cracking Open

Banks aren’t prepping desks for fairy tales. They’re hardening capital, compliance, and forex positions because the upstream work proxy nodes crushed (Venezuela, Iran, Hormuz racket torched), identity/financial hygiene tightening domestically, cyber exposures forcing migration to auditable rails removed the primary blockers that kept suppressed corridors locked down.

Iraq’s Central Bank is pushing a cashless transition by July 2026, hydrocarbon law progress, and broader reforms under the current leadership. The “delete three zeros” redenomination talk isn’t the retail revaluation fantasy peddled for years that’s the surface misdirection.

The real movement sits in parallel settlement mechanisms, bridge assets, and sovereign realignment trades that bypass the old central bank choke points. USD recalibration pressures and post-Hormuz energy dominance provide the macro tailwind.

Payoff for holders won’t route through standard CBI budget theater. It ties to the larger sovereign inversion: tokenized rails, ISO 20022 migration, and hardened cross-border settlement that starves the old laundering pipelines that intelligence cutouts historically tolerated.

Banks in multiple jurisdictions are positioning exactly because the managed conflict fuel sources are drying up and the reset sequencing demands verifiable dominance.

Militia Man  Back in 2007 the Central Bank of Kuwait repeatedly and publicly stated there was no plans to change the exchange rate or abandon the peg to the US dollar.  Officials including the governor dismissed speculation about a revaluation or a shift to a basket...Then on May 20, 2007 Kuwait abruptly dropped the dollar peg and switched to an undisclosed currency basket which was heavily weighted toward the euro and other currencies. The Kuwaiti dinar appreciated significantly against the US dollar in the following months...Why is this particularly relevant to Iraq today?  Kuwait had built up very large reserves and had been running a managed peg for years...The decision was made quietly and internally when the central bank of Kuwait judged the fundamentals...justified a change. 

Reset Intelligence  Three days after the oath and with the fifteen-day clock still ticking, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani signed off on the Ernst and Young contract that puts Iraq's two state banks under international audit...The contract covers Rafidain Bank and Rasheed Bank.Not advisory. Not exploratory.Final-stage audit and monitoring of the full restructuring  programme...  The two banks every future budget, every HCL transfer, and every new exchange rate will have to move through.

Frank26   Article: "The Iraqi banking sector is at a crossroads… either reform or forced merger" Quote: "This year could represent a turning point in the history of the Iraqi banking system where the question is no longer whether a change will occur, but how it will occur, when it will occur and at what cost for it."   They are telling you very plainly we need a new  exchange rate...

HB 2123: Arizona’s Gold Bill Signals a Major Shift

Lynette Zang:  4-17-2026

Arizona just passed HB 2123, a bill focused on gold and silver.

But this isn’t just about storage… it could signal something much bigger. Why are states building gold infrastructure now? What do they see coming?

In this video, Lynette breaks down what HB 2123 actually does, what it doesn’t do, and why this move could be an early warning sign of a larger shift in the monetary system.

She also answers viewer questions on precious metals taxes, tokenized silver, and global gold rumors.
