Militia Man Heavy crude topped up about $117 a barrel. That's a big big amount of money over the $70 budget, padding those reserves...They talk about their reserves. They talk about their gold. They talk about all these things. Saleh has been hammering it home. He's been giving reassurances for quite some time. Nothing has changed from that aspect...
Frank26The next step is to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power. How are you going to give the citizens of Iraq purchasing power? By introducing a new exchange rate followed by redenomination with lower notes because the lower notes would replace the three zero notes...They're not printing a new currency but they are educating the Iraqi citizens about a new currency that they've never dealt with before so it's not a shock to the system. Tomorrow they'll tell them even more.
Jeff June 20, 2021 they set two conditions for deleting the currency. Article "Al-Kazemi's financial advisor: Deleting three zeros from the currency is an option" Quote "The first condition is price stability and global economic growth, and the second is appropriate stability in political life." They clearly tell you from the central bank, political stability is the number one thing you're looking for as a dinar investor to know when they're going to be ready to revalue the currency...That's why Iraq has been telling you they're going implement the banking reforms after the government is formed because they're going to revalue after the government is formed.
BREAKING: Venezuela Sanctions Lifted Iraq Hit With New Sanctions
Edu Matrix: 4-21-2026
BREAKING: Venezuela Sanctions Lifted Iraq Hit With New Sanctions - . What does this mean for the future of both currencies?
In this video, we break down the latest developments as Venezuela sanctions are lifted and how that is helping stabilize the Venezuelan currency over the past two weeks.
With the U.S. Treasury allowing transactions with certain Venezuelan banks, the country now has greater access to U.S. dollars, boosting confidence and supporting short-term economic stability.
We also discuss how Venezuela’s banking system is reopening to international activity, allowing more direct access to oil revenue and global financial systems.
Plus, renewed contact with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is increasing investor confidence and pushing Venezuelan bonds higher.
At the same time, Iraq sanctions hit hard, targeting individuals connected to the Coordination Framework. We explain what these U.S. Treasury sanctions mean for Iraq’s financial system and how this could impact the Iraqi dinar moving forward.
When comparing the Venezuelan bolívar to the Iraqi dinar (IQD), there are key differences.
Venezuela has struggled with hyperinflation and currency devaluation, while Iraq has maintained relative stability, backed by strong foreign reserves and massive oil wealth.
Key takeaway: When U.S. banks allow transactions and global access improves, currencies can stabilize. The question is—can Iraq follow a similar path?

Twenty Years. That’s How Long Iraq Has Been Ready For The Reset.
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Twenty Years. That’s How Long Iraq Has Been Ready For The Reset.
By David E. Atterton | Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
The infrastructure has been live since 2018. The constitutional framework was signed in 2005. Every technical component for a dinar that reflects Iraq’s actual economy has existed for close to two decades.
The rate didn’t move for one reason. And it is documented in $17.7 billion of signed court records.
If you have been in dinarland for any length of time, you have heard the same question asked ten thousand times. Why is it taking so long?
The answer is not incompetence. Not instability. Not “Iraq isn’t ready.”
Iraq’s banking system was running the largest sanctions evasion and money laundering network in the Middle East on behalf of Iran. You do not move the exchange rate of a currency that is the pipeline for billions of dollars in sanctioned flow. You shut the pipeline down first, then you move the rate.
That shutdown is now on the record. Public. Documented. Finished.
The $17.7 Billion Paper Trail
Between 2009 and 2023, seventeen Western banks paid $17.7 billion in US government fines for processing Iranian money through the dollar system. Not a---------s. Fines paid. Consent orders signed. Statements of Facts admitting specific wire transfers, specific dates, specific Iranian counterparties.
• BNP Paribas – $8.9 billion (2014) – $8.8 billion in sanctioned Iranian, Sudanese, and Cuban transactions over seven years
• HSBC – $1.9 billion (2012) – Iranian and Mexican cartel laundering
• Standard Chartered – $1.1 billion across two settlements – Iranian transactions cleared through New York
• Commerzbank – $1.45 billion (2015) – Iran and Sudan violations
• Société Générale – $1.34 billion (2018) – Iran and Libya sanctions breaches
Every one of those settlements traces back to Iranian counterparties. And a significant portion of those counterparties cleared through Iraqi correspondent accounts at institutions like Trade Bank of Iraq, Al-Bilad, Al-Taif, and Warka Bank.
Iraq’s banking sector was not a bystander. It was the Middle East node of the Iranian dollar workaround. That is why the rate was locked.
Why The IMF Wouldn’t Let It Move
The International Monetary Fund conducts what is called an Article IV consultation with every member country. It is a compliance review. For Iraq, Article IV reviews between 2015 and 2022 consistently flagged the same thing: money laundering and t-------m financing risk tied to the informal banking sector and private bank correspondent relationships.
Stated position of the IMF, repeated in every consultation: Iraq must complete banking sector reform before monetary policy normalization.
Monetary policy normalization. That is the technical term for the thing dinarland has been calling “the RV” for twenty years.
What Got Done
The reform is on paper and in the record:
• Approximately 400 currency exchange houses running hawala for Iranian entities were shut down between 2023 and 2025
• Iraq’s private banking sector was consolidated from 40-plus institutions down to a supervised core
• Electronic payment infrastructure was rolled out to make shadow transactions traceable
• US Treasury and the Central Bank of Iraq signed joint statements in 2023, 2024, and 2025 transitioning from “compliance remediation” to “monetary policy coordination”
• The 2024 IMF Article IV consultation removed the money-laundering-risk language that had been in every prior review since 2015
Each of those is a public document. Each has a date. Each is searchable.
The Signal
Iraq sits on approximately $16 trillion in proven natural resources. Fifth-largest oil reserves on Earth. Second-largest phosphate deposits globally. Gold reserves past $21 billion. Its current exchange rate of 1,310 dinars to the dollar was set by an occupying authority in 2003 and was never designed to be permanent.
What changed in 2024 is not Iraq’s wealth. Iraq’s wealth has been there the entire time. What changed is the sanctioned-money plumbing that required the rate to stay artificial. That plumbing is gone.
When Central Bank of Iraq Governor Ali Al-Alaq and US Treasury officials sit down in the same room in 2025 and talk about “monetary policy coordination,” that is not a throwaway phrase. It is the language that historically precedes an official realignment.

Fiat US Dollar Collapsing, Global Currency Reset Activated
And Power Shifting Back To The People
Summary:
According to the latest report from Judy Byington, dated April 20, 2026, the transition from a fiat-based system to a gold-backed Global Currency Reset (GCR) has reached a critical flashpoint.
The update suggests that the traditional banking corridor, long dominated by the “global elite,” is currently being dismantled as institutions fail to meet Basel III compliance standards—meaning they lack the physical gold or assets necessary to back their holdings.
This has allegedly led to the freezing of over 143,000 individual bank accounts in a single day, prompting urgent warnings for citizens to secure cash reserves before the traditional system becomes inaccessible.
Central to this transition is the implementation of the Quantum Financial System (QFS), which reportedly took control of the global SWIFT system earlier this month.
The report indicates that the QFS is a gold-backed global financial framework that operates outside the reach of corrupt entities.
As the “Old World” structure collapses, 209 nations have supposedly synchronized their currencies with gold, effectively ending the era of fiat slavery.
For the average citizen, this shift is expected to manifest through “Redemption Centers,” where individuals will set up digital wallets on the Starlink Satellite System. These wallets are intended to mirror existing bank balances, though the report emphasizes that personal accounts in the United States must be managed through these specific centers rather than traditional banks.
One of the most significant aspects of this update is the imminent announcement of NESARA and GESARA. These protocols are described as a “Debt Jubilee,” a massive financial reset where illigal mortgages, credit card debts, and student loans are excused.
This redistribution of wealth is reportedly funded by seized “Cabal” assets and global trust funds that have been redirected into the QFS. The report suggests that humanity is moving toward a system of “sovereign fund dashboards,” where every citizen will have access to their own funds and notification of their debt-wipe status via secure texts and emails.
The timeline provided for the remainder of April 2026 is tight and high-stakes. The update warns of a “Ten Days of Darkness” beginning around April 21, during which banks will close, and ATMs and credit cards will cease to function.
This period is intended for the “GESARA wealth drop” and a 48-hour blackout to facilitate the final transition. By April 23, Zim redemptions are expected to flood humanitarian projects, and the QFS is slated to (allegedly)go live for the general public.
This transition is framed as a move toward a sovereign treasury system that eliminates income tax in favor of a simplified 14% sales tax and various tariffs.
For those involved in humanitarian efforts, often referred to in the report as Tier4B, the instructions are specific. Potential “project managers” are encouraged to have their project budgets and impact statements prepared in both fiat and grams of gold.
The report notes that “Green Bar” notifications are already being sent to those who have passed final reconciliation, signaling that appointment slots for currency exchange are being populated.
The overarching message of Byington’s report is one of preparation and vigilance—urging people to move away from traditional banking institutions and toward a new era of digital, asset-backed financial sovereignty.

StephenThis is a very real investment that I think is going to pay off in a very large way for all of us who are invested. That's why I have stuck in it for so long...I do believe we are closer than ever before for it happening. But stay grounded. Have realistic expectations.
Frank26 Once [Iraqi's] government is formed, then we are going to push for the new exchange rate because we want fairness with the American dollar. If not Trump will leave Iraq. That's the last thing Iraq wants...
Mnt Goat Article: “Minerals and “white gold” put Najaf on the investment map in Iraq” This...article...solidifies to us once again the importance of Iraq and its wealth...get out of their ‘rentier’ economy of sole 95% of oil revenues. Is this part of what we all have been waiting for? Yes... A dinar rate of 132? I don’t think so...silica mining (white gold) and other projects like it in part is what is going to get the reinstatement at a higher rate once it goes back on FOREX. We don’t go the bank until its back on FOREX. Of course, we all know that the reinstatement is being intentionally held back. Iraq could easily sustain a rate of about $3.22 right now as it was prior to the 1991 war...

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

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: 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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
