Clare:  Al-Fayez told Al-Furat News: There is complete agreement to finalize Al-Zidi's cabinet after Eid in an emergency session.

5/24/2026

The head of the parliamentary Design Alliance bloc and leader of the coordination framework, Amer Al-Fayez, revealed a complete agreement to finalize the appointment of the Ministers of Defense, Interior and the rest of the ministries that are run by acting ministers after the Eid al-Adha holiday.

Al-Fayez told Al-Furat News Agency: “There is a complete agreement to name the ministers after Eid; however, the House of Representatives will enter its legislative holiday after Eid, which necessitates holding an emergency session with a full quorum to name the ministers.”

He added, "If the session does not convene due to most MPs traveling or performing the Hajj pilgrimage, this matter will be resolved after the end of the legislative recess."

Al-Fayez added that "the management of the two ministries by an acting minister does not affect their essential work, as they are managed by the Prime Minister himself, with the support of advanced staff capable of managing the files until the ministers are officially appointed."

Sandy Ingram  The UK, Germany, and Switzerland are all making financial commitments with and to Iraq...This is great.

Jeff The budget is dependent on the rate changing.  Why?  Because the budget is calculated off the currency value.  The budget is a law.  In order to approve a law, all aspects of it have to exist, such as the currency value that it was calculated off of...In order for the government to get the budget approved, the rate has to exist...

RossFinancial disclosures in Iraq are moving faster and with more immediate emphasis than typical under the new government. Ask yourself why that is...there seems to be a bit of a rush going on with Iraq’s new government…Kinda like IQD has been coiled up for a while. Don’t be surprised ...to see real, unstoppable, lightning-speed progress on a daily basis.

Member: Thanks to all in the armed forces on this Memorial Day.

MZ: The chatter has been unreal this weekend. Rumors hit hard and heavy over the weekend that the Treasury was told it would be a “go” last Friday and got the ball rolling and started the Process….I have not been able to vet it because it was over the weekend and a holiday today. ….We will see what is real .

MZ: But, this was from a number of different sources who are claiming that all bonds that have already been vetted are going this week. We have heard this before but the chatter over the weekend was crazy.

MZ: Markets are not open today. It will probably be later tomorrow when we can properly vet things.

MZ: Mike Bara is also getting a lot of the same news I am but from different sources.

Member: Hearing Iraq is supposed to get it done before the 31st right before the end of this month before their holiday?..

Member: Saw an article by Melanie Hienz from March 2025 that says rate is $4.8101

MZ: This is the rate that many others have seen as well. We have definitely been seeing this for quite some time. I am of the mindset that this is the rate we will see.

Member: Trump signature on the $100 bill starting June 1 --- is this an indication we're ready to flip??

Member: I really pray we go before July 4th and really have a reason to celebrate.

Member:    Mark, I don't think FIAT will crash. it will transition to digital and tokenize. when we go to the redeeming bank, they will deposit our currency into a block chain wallet account. instantly liquid

MZ: Accurate….but, when they tokenize it though…it will be backed by an asset. That will be the difference.

Member: Militia man this morning said we are in one of the most important and exciting windows than we have ever seen.

Member: Frank says June 1st

Member: Franks never said a date so the fact that he did is exciting.

MZ: In Iraq:  “Nina;s Economic Specialist: In light of the current reality, Economic reforms have become a economic necessity. “  to me this means this crisis has forced them off of “stuck”. Off of this endless loop that has been taking forever. This conflict has forced Iraq to finish or accelerate a lot of the economic reforms.

MZ: I do believe this conflict….while its ugly and lives were lost….but, its forced us closer to the finish line.

Member: I feel like when Iran war is over…then we will go.

MZ: I feel the same ….as soon as Iran is over….I believe we go.

Member: Will we have immediate access to our funds?

MZ: I am told that if you exchange through the redemption center/redeeming banks you will get instant access. But, if you go to a regular bank…and they send your currency off …it will take a couple of days. A redemption center is the came as a redeeming bank with a branch or office that the staff has been trained to exchange foreign currency and detect counterfeit ect…….its a real bank that can process your currency right there . It will be a fairly simple process.

Member: I would never let my currency our of my sight …

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods….Everyone have a blessed day. Keep positive that this will be the week we have been waiting for.

Jon Dowling: Latest Wealth Transfer News from Insider Banker Mr. B, May 2026

Jon Dowling: Latest Wealth Transfer News from Insider Banker Mr. B, May 2026

5-23-2026

In a recent and highly detailed podcast episode hosted by Jon Dowling, viewers were treated to a comprehensive economic analysis featuring Mr. B, a seasoned financial professional with nearly three decades of experience at Charles Schwab.

In what was framed as a milestone final appearance, Mr. B shared a deep dive into the current state of the global markets, focusing specifically on the primary role he believes silver will play in the coming years.

His analysis suggests that silver is currently an undervalued asset, supported by over 30 distinct factors that range from its essential industrial applications to its historical status as a store of value.

One of the most compelling segments of the discussion centered on the supply-and-demand mechanics currently driving the silver market. Mr. B highlighted that silver is becoming increasingly scarce due to ongoing mining deficits and rising industrial demand, particularly within emerging technologies and the global transition toward green energy.

This scarcity is being further amplified by geopolitical shifts, specifically the silver policies in China and the massive consumption rates seen in India. Furthermore, the discussion touched upon the growing interest from institutional investors, such as pension funds and central banks, which adds a new layer of demand that could potentially influence long-term price stability and market dynamics.

Beyond precious metals, the conversation provided a rigorous outlook on the broader stock and housing markets. Mr. B presented a timeline for what he describes as a market “meltup,” where indices like the S&P 500, the Dow Jones, the NASDAQ, and the Russell could reach record highs before facing a significant correction.

 According to his projections, this cycle of expansion and subsequent adjustment may occur within a relatively short window of the next few months. He also noted that the housing market is already showing signs of a correction, fueled by larger economic pressures such as debt bubbles and the ongoing effects of inflation.

The episode also explored the legislative and structural changes that could redefine the financial system.

A significant portion of the dialogue was dedicated to the “Clarity Act” and its potential to allow retirement accounts to hold a more diverse range of assets, including precious metals and digital assets.

Mr. B connected these regulatory shifts to a broader global economic trend: a potential move away from traditional fiat systems toward a monetary standard backed by physical assets like gold and silver.

This transition is seen as a response to currency debasement and a desire for more transparent financial frameworks.

Concluding on a note of calculated preparedness, the discussion emphasized the importance of personal financial awareness and the strategic acquisition of physical assets. Mr. B’s final insights serve as a call for investors to look beyond short-term market fluctuations and consider the long-term structural changes occurring in the global economy.

 For those looking to understand the intersection of industrial demand, geopolitical policy, and market cycles, this episode offers a wealth of professional perspectives on how to navigate an era of significant financial transition.

Clare:  Parliamentary Oil Committee: Passing the oil and gas law is our priority

5/21/2026Economy News – Baghdad

The Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee affirmed that one of its priorities is to pass the Oil and Gas Law, which regulates the fair distribution of oil wealth

Committee member Mohammed Al-Fartousi told the official newspaper, as reported by "Al-Eqtisad News," that "one of the committee's priorities in this session is to pass the oil and gas law that regulates the fair distribution of oil wealth," explaining that "this law is considered one of the important laws, especially since Iraq depends on oil for 90 percent of its revenues, so it is not logical that there is no law that regulates the relationship between the federal government and the region, and regulates this wealth, as well as regulating the sale process and the connection of oil to the central government."

He added that "the committee is determined during this session to finalize the oil and gas law, and will consult with all parties as well as legal authorities to issue a draft law that ensures no party is wronged," stressing that "the committee is serious about passing this law."

Al-Fartousi pointed out that "the delay in resuming oil exports via the Ceyhan-Fishkhabur pipeline is due to technical reasons only," noting that "the next government's program must include coordination with the region regarding oil exports and its fields, and all of this is related to the oil and gas law."

He added that "the committee will not start from scratch, but will rely on the previous draft and existing understandings to move towards legislating the law during the next stage."  LINK

Jackie:  IMHO - Most Powerful Statement in this entire article: “he added that the committee will NOT start from scratch, but will rely on the previous draft and existing understandings to move towards legislating the law during the next stage.”  Most powerful comment made!  Tremendous Progress, even greater speed here!  IMHO

Clare:  Al-Alaq: Dollar reserves are secured and transfers are under control

5/21/2026

Baghdad: Hussein Thaghab 

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, stressed that the bank’s involvement in preparing the federal budget is an “inevitable necessity” to achieve integration between fiscal and monetary policies, noting that this coordination contributes to preventing economic gaps and enhancing financial and monetary stability in the long term.

 Al-Alaq explained in an interview with Al-Sabah that the Central Bank possesses accurate indicators and readings related to cash liquidity, foreign reserves, and money supply levels, which makes it a key entity in shaping the state’s general economic policy, in addition to the fiscal policy undertaken by the government and the Ministry of Finance.

He explained that the lack of coordination between the two sides could lead to economic imbalances that affect monetary stability, the exchange rate and inflation levels, stressing that integration between the two institutions contributes to building a more realistic budget and the ability to cope with economic changes.

The Central Bank Governor pointed out the importance of the federal budget including clear economic and development goals, explaining that the bank had previously called for the adoption of a “program budget” instead of traditional formulas, in order to ensure increased spending efficiency and tangible economic results, but this proposal has not yet been implemented.

On the other hand, Al-Alaq affirmed that the Central Bank continues its efforts to support economic stability through managing foreign reserves and controlling liquidity levels, thereby enhancing the confidence of local markets and investors in the Iraqi economy. (Oil revenues)

He said that Iraqi oil revenues are deposited directly in dollars into the Ministry of Finance's account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, explaining that they are transferred to the Central Bank of Iraq's account within 24 hours. A balance is then maintained in the Central Bank's account to meet the country's needs, and the Central Bank manages these reserves by investing them in bonds, gold, and banks. 

Other ways to generate profits.

 exchange rate

Ali Al-Alaq denied the existence of any governmental or monetary intention to change the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar, stressing that the current monetary policy focuses on maintaining financial and monetary stability in the country and enhancing confidence in the national economy.

Al-Alaq explained that the Central Bank continues to follow procedures aimed at supporting market stability and controlling liquidity and inflation levels, in order to ensure the stability of the exchange rate and protect the economic environment from financial fluctuations.

Regarding the issue of salaries, Al-Alaq reassured citizens that salaries are “secured for the foreseeable future,” stressing that there are no concerns about the state’s ability to meet its financial obligations, despite the economic challenges facing the country.

He pointed out that Iraq has the potential to overcome the current economic conditions, through a package of financial measures and economic reforms that are being worked on, noting that monetary stability is one of the most prominent factors supporting the national economy and maintaining the confidence of local markets and investors.

The Central Bank Governor stressed the important role that the Financial Stability Board can play in preparing the federal budget, which contributes to achieving a positive economic impact and enhancing coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to ensure the sustainability of economic stability during 

The next stage.

 external borrowing

Regarding external borrowing, Al-Alaq explained that the need for external borrowing arises when the state’s local resources and savings are unable to finance the requirements of economic development, or to cover the financial deficit resulting from a decrease in revenues (such as the decline in oil prices), noting that the International Monetary Fund imposes conditions and structural reforms in exchange for granting loans.

Regarding the budget deficit, Dr. Al-Alaq emphasized that it was previously a numerical deficit, with the budget ending without a real deficit. However, the situation has changed, and there is now an actual deficit. He warned that the danger of this deficit stems from the fact that it is not a temporary issue but rather reflects a structural and chronic flaw in the economic system, meaning that state revenues... 

Limited to the oil sector.

 He pointed out that government spending in Iraq is not flexible but fixed and governing, such as salaries, wages, and essential obligations like food and medicine, noting that flexibility comes at the expense of the investment budget, and this affects the country’s economy.

Al-Alaq pointed out that in countries with deep financial markets, there is a possibility of covering the deficit through bonds and loans. However, in Iraq, we need to possess this depth. He reiterated that internal debts are concentrated in government banks and the central bank, and this requires a financial market with effective tools, as the lending capacity of government banks has reached its limit. 

To high limits.

parallel market

The Central Bank Governor stressed the importance of converting expenditures into productivity and expanding its base in the country, adding that Iraq is a rich country with great wealth in its various regions.

Al-Alaq, who denied that the Central Bank had a problem in covering the market’s need for dollars, explained that all transfer operations are monitored by the Central Bank, stressing that talk of dollar smuggling is incorrect and that the price in the parallel market is normal in comparison to what is offered in the market.

He stated that Iraq has long-term solutions and can receive major investments, urging the need to regulate the issue of tax collection in all parts of the state and make it beneficial to the federal budget.  LINK

Reset Intelligence  Iraq is not devaluing the IQD or reducing its citizens' purchasing power.  What they are building says the exact opposite.

Frank26  There is a paradigm shift that is occurring inside of Iraq because of the dynamics of the monetary reform that will lead to the explosion of the economic reform... 

Stephen  We are simply waiting and speculating and trying to figure out when is the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar going to happen?  What is the rate going to come out at?  Is it going to be 50 cents, 10 cents, a dollar, $3.70? It's sometimes fun to speculate...2026, I think there's a high probability and strong argument we could make for it happening this year...I believe the most optimal month for the dinar revaluation is going to be in August... 

Militia Man The diversification that Iraq has attained over the last three years under Al-Sudani has been amazing and set the stage.  They couldn't do this all overnight.  They had to have things in place...

Jon Dowling Weekly Wrap Up & Latest Financial Updates

5-22-2026

Excerpt: Domestically, the United States is poised for a period of legislative activity and financial transformation.

Congress is anticipating the passage of several important bills, including key legislation related to intelligence oversight, housing, and regulatory clarity, all within the coming weeks.

These legislative actions are reportedly part of a broader timeline leading up to significant public announcements later in the summer.

 In parallel, the financial sector is on the cusp of major innovation, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expected to approve the tokenization of corporate assets, a move that could unlock substantial value within blockchain-based systems.

These developments are supported by upcoming changes to the banking system and the integration of digital currencies into mainstream finance, marking a significant evolution towards a more digitized financial future under new leadership at the Federal Reserve.

Ross: IQD RV was Never Possible Until the Strait of Hormuz was Dealt with

Ross: IQD RV was Never Possible Until the Strait of Hormuz was Dealt with

5-23-2026

Iraqi Dinar Revaluation was NEVER Possible Until the Strait of Hormuz Was Dealt With!

Imagine holding the Dinar for 23 years thinking it could revalue any day.

What if it actually did?

You’d have cashed out years ago, retired on a beach with a margarita… but what if the Strait closed after your exchange?

Iraq’s oil exports via Hormuz collapsed 89% in April alone — slashing 90% of government revenue.

You do the math.

What oil revenue would be backing that newly revalued Dinar?

Exactly. Nothing.

And that’s precisely why you’ve waited this long.

Nothing could have sustained the new value.

Iraq’s diversification away from oil revenues will not be solved anytime soon.

The fact that the Strait of Hormuz is closed right now should have you feeling electric about your investment — resolving this is literally the #1 prerequisite to a revaluation.

Iraq isn’t poor. It’s an oil superpower.

5th-largest proven reserves on Earth (147 billion barrels).

Lowest production costs globally.

Still HOLDing $100B in foreign reserves at the CBI.

The Iran War just exposed the old petrodollar/export trap in the most brutal way possible.

Emergency World Bank/IMF loans?

Rapid-response cash. Minimal conditions. Letter of Intent only.

A bridge to pay salaries and keep subsidies alive.

But it piles on more debt in a broken fiat loop.

Iraq can’t keep borrowing forever when its real wealth (oil in the ground + reserves) is massive (but trapped).

The key to the revaluation is unlocking the wealth.

This crisis is the justification for the clean break:

IQD revaluation to actual asset-backed levels — not the artificial low rate tied to the old model.

So how does the choke point finally get dealt with?
Military: Iran’s ability to close the strait is being neutralized
Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey ramping fast (250k+ bpd)
Basra-Haditha pipeline under construction (2.25M bpd goal)
Basra-Aqaba pipeline to Jordan/Red Sea now on the fast track
Grand Faw Port + Development Road as the ultimate bypass

The foundation is already being built:
New PM + 100-day corruption cleanup governance reset
CBI/Fed & Treasury alignment institutional green light
Railways, energy diversification, HCL progress…. real economic base
“Delete the zeros” project still active …..technical runway laid

Old central-bank debt system cracks under shock sovereign oil wealth backs a new, righteous dinar.

Just like the Fed dying and the US shifting to asset-backed Victory Notes.

XRP pours gasoline on the fire unlocking the $27T trapped globally in nostro/vostro balances.

Iraq’s $100B in foreign reserves suddenly level up to $200–400B in currency strength firepower.

This provides the CBI with the monetary sovereignty to defend a stronger Dinar without the old handcuffs.

Forcing diversification of oil export routes while piling on more debt is the accelerant.

Debt digs the old fiat system even deeper — making the whole broken loop completely unsustainable and forcing the clean break.

The only logical exit from the collapsing debt trap.

I know how you feel… worn out. Beat up. Defeated.

Bills. BS. Life.

But you should really… REALLY be far more bullish than you are or think you are.

This is the Global Currency Reset unfolding right in front of us.

Don’t let ever increasing tolerance for amazing news discount the progress happening right before your eyes on a daily basis.

We are almost there.

Rob Cunningham: America’s New Monetary System

Rob Cunningham: America’s New Monetary System

5-23-2026

America’s New Monetary System

Phase 1 – The Legal trigger:
CLARITY passes by July 4, 2026. Digital assets receive market-structure certainty. Stablecoin rails become institutionally safe under existing GENIUS Law. Tokenized Treasury settlement accelerates.

Phase 2 – US Treasury re-centers:
Treasury introduces new debt-free “Victory Notes” (dollars) as our sovereign monetary instrument, while also issuing ultra-long 50/100-year gold-maturity bonds to absorb old liabilities, refinance duration risk, and create a patriotic savings/institutional reserve asset.

Phase 3 – Stablecoin bridge:
GENIUS-compliant RLUSD-type stablecoins become US constitutionally aligned, programmable front-end dollars: fast, auditable, redeemable, and Treasury-backed. They distribute sovereign U.S. Dollars through compliant digital XRPL rails.

Phase 4 – Fed-note sunset:
Old Federal Reserve liability notes won’t be cancelled overnight. They are gradually redeemed, exchanged, taxed, retired, or digitally migrated. The political key is confidence: no bank panic, no forced confiscation, no broken contracts.

Phase 5 – America’s New Deal:
Our monetary stack becomes:
Gold / long Treasury collateral → Victory Notes → tokenized Treasury reserves → compliant stablecoins → public/private settlement rails

The Result:
No more Fed debt-“money” dependency, lower rollover fragility, fully transparent and perpetually auditable collateral, faster settlement, and a restored, constitutional dollar system that ends perpetual usury by restoring sovereign issuance.

Core Trump/Treasury Execution:
$39T in debt transition requires lawful authority, market consent, Fed/Treasury coordination, banking-system continuity, and global creditor confidence. It will be done wisely, as a most historic, Jubilee-style refinancing.

KUWL Summary

CLARITY opens the rails
GENIUS stabilizes the tokens
VICTORY Notes restore monetary sovereignty
GOLD-maturity bonds absorb the old world without detonating it
JUBILEE refinances our Republic
FREEDOM reigns the world over

(This is my conceptual idea of how things logically evolve. Please share your thoughts, alternate scenarios, and let’s ideate to elevate understanding.)

Ross: The Zeros Come off When all of this Lines up

Ross: The Zeros Come off When all of this Lines up

5-22-2026

“Participation of the Central Bank in drafting the state budget is essential.”

Governor al-Alaq is publicly demanding the CBI have a real seat at the table when the government writes the numbers — because drafting a budget without the CBI’s input on reserves, money supply, and cash flow is a recipe for chaos the moment the Dinar’s exchange rate moves.

While central bankers have pushed for better fiscal-monetary coordination for years, the timing of this statement stands out — especially as the CBI is set to meet with the Fed and US Treasury to advance their banking reforms in the coming days.

We now have a new Prime Minister who immediately created a Financial Stability Council (with the CBI Governor and Finance Minister) to push “comprehensive economic and financial reform,” while the 2026 budget remains unfinalized.

“Complementarity between fiscal and monetary policies”

This is the golden phrase.

Fiscal = government spending & the budget.

Monetary = CBI controlling the dinar.

These two must work together like never before — especially when you’re preparing to:

• Remove zeros (redenomination)
• Revalue the dinar
• Or both

Without this coordination, revaluation risks sending inflation through the roof.

They’re building the guardrails right now.

This fits into a bigger picture:

We’ve seen the CBI stress that reserves are strong.

We’ve seen major banking sector reforms advancing (which the Fed/US Treasury have praised).

We’ve seen the strong push toward electronic payments and modernization before the July deadline.

Now the Governor himself is insisting the CBI must be inside the budget process.

When all of this lines up… the zeros come off and IQD finds its real value.

Channel 8 English:  CBI Governor Ali al-Alaq stressed that the participation of the Central Bank in drafting the state budget is essential to ensure complementarity between fiscal and monetary policies. Read more: https://channel8.com/english/news/58421

What is the solution?

RCT unwinds, XRP moons, 2-4X boost to effectiveness of Iraq’s foreign reserves.

Iran War ends, Strait of Hormuz reopens, oil revenues skyrocket.

New IQD exchange rate that reaches near parity with USD.

Tokenize the dinar.

Tokenize the oil.

HCL becomes law.

Finish the Development Road Project.

Make Iraq Great Again.

Tell me again how this time isn’t different?

President Trump backed Al-Zaidi for a reason.

Your bullishness on IQD appears to be in good hands.

Financial disclosures in Iraq are moving faster and with more immediate emphasis than typical under the new government.

Ask yourself why that is.

Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi (sworn in mid-May 2026 with a partial cabinet) made this one of his very first major directives.

In the inaugural regular session of the Council of Ministers, he ordered all ministers to submit full financial/asset disclosure statements within one week (7 days) of the directive.

President Nizar Amedi is also moving promptly on his side of the process (or publicly endorsing the push), which reinforces the sense of faster momentum across institutions.

Notice how there seems to be a bit of a rush going on with Iraq’s new government….

Kinda like IQD has been coiled up for a while.

Don’t be surprised when you log in to X to see real, unstoppable, lightning-speed progress on a daily basis.

Channal 8 English:  The Iraqi Presidency said the move reflects President Nizar Amedi's commitment to “complying with legal procedures” regarding financial disclosures to promote integrity and public trust.

HCL is the “elephant in the room.”

If we are about to witness unstoppable lightning-speed progress toward the revaluation of IQD then I would expect this meeting with the KRG PM to be fruitful.

HCL requires a new rate, a new rate does not require HCL.

Keep that in mind as you watch the progress of HCL versus the progress of Iraq’s banking sector and budget.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 5-21-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 5-21-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome, everybody. To the Big Call tonight - it is Thursday, May 21st  and you're listening to The Big Call. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. Yet again, all over my globe, as our satellite team gets the signal out to so many countries. I said last Tuesday that we were actually played a week ago. Our call was played into Iran, which was wonderful to hear, and hopefully Tuesday night's call and tonight's call are also finding their way into the country of Iran, so we'll hope for the best that way, and we should always continue to pray for the peace  not only of Jerusalem, but for the entire Middle East, including Iran.

Alright lets get over into the intel portion of tonight’s call, so all right, here goes now. From Tuesday night we have heard two things that I brought to the call. I said that exchanges would take place Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, but they place Thursday exchanges. They haven't started exchanging, and I don't think we're going to start tomorrow.

Now,  I always get something after the call it over. I get something else. Well, I did. I got something else Tuesday night about late, late for me, and it came in as another very good source that notifications will take place Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday

Okay, that's not exchanges, is it? That's different. Now it's important notifications  are going to come first before exchanges, before setting appointments, and exchanges start, but that the change from a different source  - it sort of negated -   So then we're going in that concept, then we get information between Tuesday and today that says that, let's see if I can put this the right way -----

Information says that we would get notifications Saturday night, late, like before midnight, or Sunday morning early, like two 3am this Sunday, all right. Then we got another piece that said Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.

Now I was interpreting that to mean that we would get notified late Saturday night or early Sunday mornings – set appointments  over Monday. Start  our exchanges Tuesday.

Okay,  there’s  our three day weekend -- we could, and I don't think we.. I think we need a three day weekend. That's been something we talked about for, I don't know, 10 or 15 years at least.

But realistically, I don't know that that's a requirement, but here we are about a three day weekend, Memorial starting tomorrow, and notice how early in the month this year, if Memorial Day is the 25th and it started on may 30, 1968 – that’s a week earlier, and I'm thinking that's good, all right, so let's see this now we have the possibility of getting notified before Memorial Day and exchanging after Memorial Day,  which would be Tuesday the 26th

Then I get information tonight during the big call that says looks like we could get notified any time from Memorial Day  to the end of the month, exchange between Memorial Day and the end of the month,

I looked at that. It was a good source. It's a wide open window. I don't like it that wide. I like things more like 12 hours, 16 hours after.  Which I did get earlier I told you about  Saturday night Sunday Morning – Im going to say that is still in play

However, the  exchange itself, if Tuesday, Tuesday is real. Then that would be after Memorial Day on the 26th

Now could it go beyond that?

This last piece of information is suggesting from morning date to the end of the month, it should be another five or six days , right?

So I would say I'm going to go with information about Saturday night late or Sunday early for notifications, and say okay. I can see us setting appointments, maybe Sunday , starting  exchanges Tuesday. It could be this other information, like we've had great sources that have told us specifically of these three days or 72 hours or whatever, you know what we're striving right through it.

So I'm going to say what I had heard at least a week ago, at least a week ago was that they want this done by the end of May.  So piece of information puts that in perspective, could be any time from Memorial Day to the end of the month. Well, that could be what it is.

I'm just saying that is a possibility - we've got to look at this and say, okay, weekend maybe  we get notified Saturday night or early early Sunday morning  maybe we do that, and set appointments, and right over Monday, and start Tueaday   on the other hand – we will have to wait and see what happens this weekend .

So I had hoped, obviously, that we'd be there and be done by now, and be jumping ready to go into the med beds right away, but it looks like every time we push, we're not to the very end of the month right now

Today's the 20-first, we're 10 days away from the end month. Anytime we get squirrly toward the end of the month, things tend to get weird, and it tends to push us over to the next month, but we'll see whether or not that happens  and or we get some activity in the way of  our notifications  and 800 number notifications this weekend , so that is that is basically the long and the short of it is we've got a possibility of getting notified, this weekend

and then there's the additional information from very good sources  talking about it, could be any time from Memorial Day to the end of the month,

That is the intel that we have for tonight. So I'm going to suggest everybody enjoy the Memorial Day weekend, keep an eye on your emails, and when we get the number, we will put it on our website  and then we'll also send out an email that is registered

Okay, but you're gonna get it, I'm sure that once it comes out and we're able to verify it as the correct number you should have no  problem setting your appointment, and going in

Now I still understand that Zim holders are to be given first priority  for exchanges – if you are a zim holder – you are considered  You are sovereign, and they want us in there immediately.

So that's fine. I didn't, think that was going to be the case at all, priority to get zim  holders in first

I can tell you this. Yesterday, I was told that Wednesday, which was yesterday, that we would have rates on bank screens and redemption center screens.

We did get  confirmation that we have 18 currencies currently, no pun intended, currently on redemption center screens, and probably the same amount on bank screens

Now these are rates that are continually trading up  and my instinct  is to think that they want to continue to trade these currencies up to where when we go in for our exchanges we'll get better rates than they have right now, so we’ll see what happens with those. I'm not concerned about the rates – I know the rates at the redemption  centers  and zim holders can only go to redemption centers to redeem the zim anyway, and we know that the dinar holders have a contract rate established by President Trump at redemption centers, so we're going to be in great shape  as far as that goes  so don’t worry about it – it’s really the least of our worries.

Main thing we want to do is get the numbers  we want to do set our appointments and get in there, and let them know if you have a dire need if you are Zim holder, they will key in key strokes into their computer, and you're in there for your appointment,  to get you notified for you to set appointment for the med bed – that’s how it works - seems backwards. I wish we could go to the med beds now, but I figured out, in my opinion, why they do it this way  r

They want to get us in there. First of all, they want to see who we are  they want to see we're getting good people, or deep state - I think they don't want Deep  Staters getting access to the med beds

They want to make sure that we're on the up and up, and we're going to do the right thing for the funds. That's why we've got our projects to tell them about, and everything else over the last number of years  to be able to do that and have and have everything lined out for us so that we can go into the bed that after we exchange

Should be five or six days days for most people we're exchanging zim with dire need, maybe sooner -  could be a little longer - it's going to probably depend on the demographic where you live and all that, but the med bed centers are ready, they're ready to go, we don't have to pray for med meds – what we have to pray for is to get those exchanges to get these changes underway, and then  we go in the med beds – and then we're  a 2.0 people

okay, so that's really dealing with, with the pod people on these calls, the idea of, you know, being able to work through the dynamics, the family dynamics of everything that's coming with this.

There's a lot to it, and I appreciate the fact that she's dealing with that way that she is, because so many people, a lot of people out there have currency, and sometimes the other doesn't even know about a person didn't agree with it. In other words, they're not evenly yoked  in the currency to the concept of, and that's difficult for families, you know, that might not be of the same mind.

It's, I know that's a challenge for a lot of spouses, and I want everybody to do the best I can to let this happen.  And not take the I told you so approach .  why didn't you believe in some ways? I've lived this like this is not really right for everybody.  It's not for everybody. It hasn't been for everybody.

I just can't see it. You have to at least be able to see this to believe it. In this case, believe it for something that hasn’t occurred yet, but I do believe this is this is coming right around the corner, and yes we’ve been pushed and pushed -  the same thing with bond holders. The bond holders haven't been told when they can have access to their money yet.

They're being processed, and they probably can see their accounts ready, probably, but a lot of them can have access, and someone's, they're probably going to get access after we go into our exchanges,

so let's pray the call out. Let's  thank everybody first.  So, thanks so much for listening. I want to just wish everybody a wonderful day weekend, and let's see what happens  over here.

Otherwise, at this point, we'll look forward to talking to you on Tuesday night.   Good night everybody – God bless you and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend
