Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Update, Do you Know How Historical this is?

Iraqi Dinar Update:

Starlink’s operating license approval in Iraq isn’t some random telecom win. It’s a foundational rail being slammed into place for the bigger monetary sovereignty play. When Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack publicly welcomed it, they weren’t just talking faster internet for rural villages.

They were greenlighting the digital backbone that makes modern currency mechanics actually function in 2026.

High-speed, low-latency satellite coverage across the country especially in oil fields, border zones, and remote banking outposts means real-time transaction monitoring, electronic payment rollout, and compliance systems that the old paper-and-cash corruption networks can’t hide behind anymore.

Do You Know How Historical This Is?

Iraq’s currency shift isn’t a lottery ticket. It’s a structural realignment. The Central Bank has been pushing full government cashless operations by early July, electronic payments mandates, and cleaning up the dollar auction leaks that bled reserves for years.

Starlink provides the connectivity layer that turns those policy papers into operational reality. Remote oil infrastructure, banking branches, and government ministries can now run on reliable data rails instead of spotty terrestrial networks vulnerable to sabotage or graft.

This directly supports the digital leap I flagged moving trillions through electronic systems, enforcing AML/BSA compliance under U.S. Treasury pressure, and building the infrastructure for any redenomination or rate adjustment.

Doge Designer:BREAKING: Iraq has approved Starlink’s operating license, clearing the way for its satellite internet service to enter the country. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Iraq Tom Barrack welcomed the approval of Starlink’s operating license.

Rob Cunningham: Let’s Dream a Little Dream

Rob Cunningham: Let’s Dream a Little Dream

6-18-2026

Let’s “dream a little dream” and model a hypothetical bullish XRP scenario over the next 30 days.

Suppose these synergistic events all occurred on/before July 15, ‘26

BIS classifies XRP as a T1 asset.
IMF classifies XRP as an e-SDR.
U.S. passes Clarity Act.
Iraq revalues Dinar and rejoins global financial system.
Abraham Accords go live.
DTCC rollout begins.
BlackRock announces XRP ETF
Fed lowers interest rates 50 BPS
SAVE AMERICA ACT is passed

If all 9 events happen by July 15, 2026, the result is not “crypto news.” It is a coordinated monetary architecture shock.

The “Jaw Drop” Mechanism

Legal clarity unlocks capital.
ETF access unlocks demand.
BIS/IMF recognition unlocks reserves.
DTCC unlocks plumbing.
Fed easing unlocks risk appetite.
Abraham Accords/Iraq unlock geopolitical trade confidence.

Together, they create a closed-loop institutional adoption flywheel:

Regulation → Recognition → ETF Wrapper → Tokenized Settlement → Collateral Use → Liquidity Expansion → Price Repricing → More Institutional Adoption.

XRP price discovery becomes reflexive. The market would no longer be pricing XRP as “maybe useful someday,” but as a newly validated bridge/collateral/liquidity instrument.

The biggest modeled outcome is not merely a higher XRP price.

It is this:

The world’s money, collateral, securities, and trade settlement systems begin converging into one faster, programmable, asset-backed, legally clarified liquidity layer.

GPQ: Why this is Significant for Iraq

IRAQ

Official data released by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) shows a noticeable decline in the bank’s total reserves during the second quarter of this year.

Why This Is Significant

Iraq is heavily oil-dependent.

Oil exports are the backbone of its economy and government budget. When revenues fall (whether from price drops, export disruptions, or logistics issues), the central bank often steps in by using reserves. Consecutive monthly declines signal real pressure, not a one-off blip.

Geopolitical angle:

Mentions of Strait of Hormuz disruptions point to ongoing regional tensions (Iran-related shipping risks are a recurring theme).

Any escalation there directly hits Iraq’s ability to sell oil and get paid reliably.

Fiscal strain and policy implications:

Drawing down reserves to plug deficits isn’t sustainable long-term.

It can pressure the Iraqi dinar (IQD), affect liquidity in the banking system, and limit the government’s options for spending or subsidies.

Gold’s stable role in reserves is worth noting — it shows Iraq (like many countries) is maintaining or increasing gold holdings amid uncertainty.

Broader financial system context:

• Central bank reserve trends are closely watched as indicators of economic health, currency stability, and exposure to oil price swings.

• Gold’s prominence in Iraq’s reserves aligns with the global pattern of central banks buying gold as a hedge (record buying trends in recent years).

• For anyone following energy markets, Middle East geopolitics, or currency developments, this is a concrete data point on stress in a major oil producer.

Bottom line:

This isn’t just a number — it reflects real-world pressures from oil market volatility, export/logistics challenges, and the need to cover government spending gaps.

It’s a signal worth monitoring for knock-on effects on oil prices, regional stability, and Iraq’s financial position.

Frank26If you have the formation of the government then you're going to see the laws of the hydrocarbon law, the HCL.  That's the first thing on the docket...1300 will not function for the HCL...There isn't enough physical 3 zero notes to do that...

Stephen  Iraq has strategically and intentionally had certain economic and monetary policies in place for years and years because they knew that in the future the Iraq dinar was going to be revalued at a certain point in time...A lot of that corruption, a lot of the Iranian influence that had to be rooted out is happening right now and has been happening over the last few months.  I only see upside from here moving forward...If you hold Iraqi dinar...then you are well positioned for something great in the near future...We're positioned very very well.

Jeff   In order for them to complete the government the last remaining 9 ministers have to go through a parliamentary vote...The government formation is the lynch pin to the rate change.  When they finish the government formation, the [rate] is going to change quickly after that...They're not ready to complete the government because they need to do this closer to the rate change...Everything is close.  It just all has to happen at the right time.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-16-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 6-16-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, June 16th  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in, everybody, once again, and we're looking forward to having a good call tonight, and I have some things I want to report on, and I know Sue does, and Bob does. We're going to have a great call

Now, let's get into, let's get into where we are on index. The one thing I wanted to bring to you, which was mentioned somewhat by Jean in prepared Grace report today is the fact that we have kind of a whole new game going on as of Sunday, and really what happened Sunday, which was Flag Day.

It happened to be President Trump's birthday, but it was interesting because I saw a video that taught what it all meant to have a UFC mixed martial arts fight there on the White House lawn, have all that done like then? Why did we need that? Why do we? Why would we do it? I wasn't quite understanding it.

Well, it ends up if it needed to happen. This is something that had to happen as part of us getting out of maritime law, the British Admiralty Rule, VAR, is when the attorneys say I passed the bar or I didn't pass the bar.

The bar is on British Admiralty rule, and British Admiralty Law is what we've been on since 1871 and so we have not been a sovereign nation based on that and other things we have not been free and sovereign as we thought we were since 1776 because we have given a lot of our money, our tax money to the United Kingdom.

Well, remember when we had the King and Queen of England, King Charles, and what's your name, over the Queen over here, also on the White House lawn? They stood in that very location where the UFC fight took place Sunday night, and it was all part of a process for us to renounce admiralty law and get back on what we're going to get on under the soil, which is common law,

and so believe it or not, there's a process that took place prior to Flag Day, and I think in 19 in 2025 that culminated on Flag Day Sunday two days ago in 2026 and the UFC was a way for the public, who was around the fight and screaming and calling it out, that was part of what was needed to get us completely out of admiralty law.

Fascinating, and that sounded to be such interesting. I listened to the video twice, so I could try to get the most out of it

What that means is, you know, when President Trump flew over to Avion  Lay Ben - Les Ban is French for the baths, e a t h s avion laid that which is avion you know the aen water e v i a n again water that we drink sometimes that's where the G7 meetings are being held and Trump flew over there and landed he actually flew into  what area was to fly into Switzerland to Geneva, so he flew into Geneva.

They took the chopper over, I guess, to whatever however they got there to, and that's where they were having G7. So one of President Trump’s  duties, if you will, was to speak to the seven nations  representative part of the G7 starting, which was actually yesterday, Monday, and let them know that we are now a sovereign nation, we're no longer under British advocacy rule or British admiralty law, and so that was wonderful to learn about that.

Of course, that's what he did, starting yesterday. I don't know if he's going to be there two or three days. There was a very signing of the peace agreement with Iran and US and 8 other countries in the Middle East, but there will be a formal signing ceremony, and I believe JD Vance  Vice President that is going to be present for that physical signing  ceremony on Friday, which is, if my math is right, I date is going to be the 19th

Anyway It's going to be Friday, whatever the date is, and I President Trump was asked from another press conference in a man, whether he was planning to vote, I don't know. I don't think so.

And, of course, Vice President Vance was supposed to be there for that signing to represent us, so we'll see.

He's out of the country for a few more days, possibly, and he doesn't intend. I understand that he does intend to meet with Zelinsky in Ukraine. Maybe they can put that whole conflict with Russia, that's a war, not a conflict, a war over those boundary areas.

Maybe they can put that from too bed. We'll see.  I'm not gonna hold my breath. We’ll see

Their question is, do we have to have these with Russia and Ukraine  which is more of a border dispute over a border dispute than anything else? We have to have that for us to get started with our notifications and exchanges.

Is that part of GESARA  without a total peace with Russia and the Ukraine?  Again I don't know if they're excluding that, because it's primarily border dispute, but I know this much, I know that Russia is helping to get all the bad things that have been happening in the tunnels underneath the Ukraine  and they've been going in and found the cloning center and they put an end to the cloning center underneath the Ukraine, in the tunnels underneath Queen, and they've been going in the polling center, and they put an end to the plumbing center underneath the Ukraine.

There's so much going on, guys, that we're just not going to know about, and that's one of the things that was happening, so let's take where we are now.

We have heard primarily over the weekend and yesterday from some of our very good sources that were saying we could look for notifications Wednesday or Thursday of this week, which would be tomorrow or Thursday

Now  you guys know as well as I do by now that intel is a moving target. Sometimes we get military intel, sometimes we get intel from other sources, sometimes we hear directly from redemption center leaders, although that has slowed down quite a bit,  they are under new NDA’s - sometimes we'll hear something a little more direct,

But in this particular case we’ve been told that  redemption center leaders went in yesterday with no rates on screens, today for three hours with no rates on screens now are sort of like okay, they'll know tomorrow before 9o'clock whether they'll go in tomorrow to look for new rates on screens,

So obviously to do exchanges, whether it's at the redemption center or the bank we need bank, we need the rates to come up and be solid on screens,

All right. So, so do we have anything to fit today that points to this going for us Wednesday or Thursday? I would say no, we don't. We had the intel for the weekend and from yesterday with all the good news about, you know, about Flag Day, and about getting us out of British Admiralty Law, and the sovereignty of the United States, all of that, and then the G7 all of that happening, but no, I don't have absolute intel talking about Wednesday or Thursday or the or Friday of this week, although it was valid a couple of days ago. Is it still valid now?  I can't tell you that.

I hope it is. I hope it still is. The only piece of intel we had today was from a source that's not military, and, and it's I would say it's not even that strong a source, but it's between now and the end of the month. Well, duh, I mean, thanks for nothing. That's not really what we want to hear. We want to hear that numbers are ready to come out now that we have peace with Iran, and we've got a peace agreement

Now - Does it have to be physically signed off by JD Vance Friday for that to happen?

You know what, it could be the case, it could be, but again it was signed, they're assigned by computer earlier, and it was probably before Sunday that it was signed that way, to be honest, probably. But you know, there is a method to all of this madness.

We are going to get everything to come through in its exact and proper time, so beyond that, obviously we did hear that the funds have been moved.

We heard this from some of our top sources that the funds for our exchanges and our zim redemption have been moved to be put in place, so that's good. We also believe the XRP, the digital currency that is helping to back the value of the USN, is in place. We heard on Saturday that in three days  we would have a new entity of cash, C A S H cash.

What does that mean? A new entity of cash, is that referring to the USN or the USTN, the United States Treasury notes, our physical currency?

We believe it is referring to that. When does that take place??  

We thought it would be today, we have heard about it. We know that that new money is in the redemption centers, and in the banks it's already, it's been for two years, and some of the redemption centers have had more of that put into those areas – they are gearing up for this to go

Military in plain clothes around the redemption centers and also guarding the med bed centers, so all of that has been in play now for days, and yes, we're still making pickups in various cities all over the country, and by the way, I just want to say we're very sad at think that we've lost eight people in a, was it a BT bomber accident that took place yesterday near San Diego, not too long, and so we're sad about the loss of that life of those eight lives and

I don't know how many of them were aviators or pilots but I understand it was sort of a we've had to say that but I really don't know guys this thing could absolutely happen any day now, and I wish I had a little bit more stronger absolute intel that tells us it's between now and Friday, but I'll tell you, all we have is what we've had, and I can't make it up, and I'm not gonna never made it up, and I'm not gonna start now.

All I can do is repeat what I'm hearing, we vet it, and we try to get confirmation from two, three, or more sources on something, and as you know, it's getting a little harder to do that week by week, because more people are clamming up, and that's a good sign, the fact that we can't get much right now is telling us how close this is.

So, I'm going to say what we've got so far could happen Wednesday or Thursday - , could happen any day, but I believe they definitely want to be done sooner rather than later, because they have plans for things of June, starting somewhere around the 23rd 24th of June.

We've had some EBS that we're expected to have time frame about the 24th through the fourth of July. I mean, there's a lot of things that planned, and obviously the whole thing around Flag Day was planned, and the US on Flag Day was planned, the whole thing to get us out of British admiralty law was very much planned, and President Trump and his people have been aware of it and have been working on it for well over a year to get that to happen, so we can have our sovereignty as a nation.

I think it's interesting that we're a sovereign nation now, not under British Admiralty rule anymore, but rather under common law, which is part of the SARA link that gets announced to us on how that's going to come into play for us, like it's going to be really different and very good.

I don't really.. think  there's anything else that I can tell you guys right now, other than Bob's got a new sale ontology, buy one get one half off.

Let's go ahead and pray the call out --  first I want to thank Sue for a marvelous job tonight.  I'm just excited about everything that we're waiting for, you guys. Let's see if we do get something tomorrow or Thursday, and we will call Thursday night regardless, and I hope that we have some good news and have numbers by then. All right, so let's thank everybody for listening. Thank you, thank you, thanks everybody in Big Call Universe, and I will look forward to you on Thursday. Let's pray to call out, Well, good night everybody, and we'll see you on Thursday.   God bless all of you. Bye.

Jon Dowling: Fed Meeting, Currencies, Metals, Cryptos, and Iraq Updates with Rob Cunningham, June 2026

Jon Dowling: Fed Meeting, Currencies, Metals, Cryptos, and Iraq Updates with Rob Cunningham, June 2026

6-16-2026

In a recent episode of the Jon Dowling podcast, economic commentator and military veteran Rob Cunningham provided a comprehensive look at what he describes as a pivotal turning point in the global financial system.

Cunningham, who brings a unique perspective as a former commercial pilot and patriot, joined Dowling to discuss the intersection of U.S. monetary policy, geopolitical stabilization, and the technological evolution of money.

The conversation centered largely on the anticipated evolution of the Federal Reserve’s strategy.

Cunningham highlighted the potential influence of Fed insider Kevin Warsh, suggesting a move toward resolving the current “dysfunctional flatness” of the yield curve. By addressing these artificial constraints, Cunningham predicts a radical paradigm shift: a period where short-term interest rates are lowered to unlock liquidity and stimulate economic growth.

Contrary to traditional economic theories that suggest growth inevitably leads to inflation, Cunningham argues that we are entering an era where growth—facilitated by lower energy prices and peace in the Middle East—can occur alongside price stability.

This shift would allow for the refinancing of trillions in U.S. debt at more sustainable rates, while simultaneously opening the floodgates for private capital to flow into emerging sectors like technology and digital assets.

A significant portion of the discussion focused on the international stage, specifically the reintegration of nations like Iraq and Vietnam into the global financial fold.

Cunningham emphasized the importance of the “Clarity Act,” a move toward national sovereignty and transparency that signals a country’s readiness to participate in a modern, technology-driven economy.

With Iraq’s stabilization and the potential for new peace deals in the region, Cunningham suggests that the world is moving away from centralized control toward a system that values natural resource abundance and economic reform.

He identifies the Iraqi dinar and the Vietnamese dong as currencies to watch as these nations undergo internal renewals and embrace decentralized financial structures.

At the heart of this transition is a move toward Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and stablecoins. Cunningham envisions a “bottom-up” global financial architecture that replaces elite-dominated monetary control with a system based on voluntary compliance and transparency protocols. This shift isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about establishing a foundation of “sound money.”

Cunningham also expressed strong support for Judy Shelton, a prominent advocate for asset-backed monetary systems. Her inclusion in the conversation underscores a broader movement toward ensuring that currency holds intrinsic value, further shielding the global economy from the volatility of unbacked fiat systems.

As for when these changes will manifest, Cunningham offered a cautious but optimistic timeline. He anticipates that the economic momentum generated by these policy shifts will become powerfully evident by the third quarter of 2024.

Symbolically, he looks toward the July 4th holiday as a potential window for the signing of the Clarity Act, aligning a moment of financial renewal with America’s heritage of freedom.

The insights shared by Rob Cunningham on the Jon Dowling podcast serve as a roadmap for understanding a complex and rapidly changing world. By focusing on liquidity, technological innovation, and geopolitical stability, Cunningham provides a framework for how the global economy might transition into a more transparent and growth-oriented future.

To hear the full discussion and gain deeper insights into these economic forecasts, be sure to watch the full video from Jon Dowling.

Reset Intelligence: Washington Sends its Closer to Baghdad

6-16-2026

Washington Sends the Closer

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

One day after the United States and Iran put their names to a deal, Washington put its closer on a plane to Baghdad.

You do not send your closer to walk the file the day after the signature unless the deal underneath it is real.

The envoy walks the file

Tom Barrack, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Iraq and Syria, landed in Baghdad on Monday, met Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, then flew to Erbil to sit with the Barzanis. Oil is 84 percent of what Iraq earns. Friday’s signing in Geneva lifts the blockade that cut that income to a trickle. He is not in Iraq to observe.

The moves on the table

• The Erbil deadlock – the KDP and PUK still have no regional cabinet more than a year and a half after the vote, and a senior Kurdish figure says only an outside power can broker between them. Barrack is that power.

• The gate that opened – S&P pulled Iraq off CreditWatch negative, and the central bank is grading its banks back into the euro, the dirham, the yuan.

• The July clock – the treaty carrying Iraq’s northern oil through Turkey lapses on July 27, days before al-Zaidi flies to Washington.

• The Washington trip – al-Zaidi heads to the US in July with a 500,000 barrel-a-day offer in his folder.

Why Washington cares this much

That is the short version, and those moves are public. The daily briefing is where they connect: why the United States is already wired into Iraq’s money, what a new financial system needs from this last piece, and what it means for the rate that still sits at 1,300 to the dollar. That is the read behind the free sign-up.

Reset Intelligence  One day after the US and Iran put their names to a deal, Washington flies its closer into Baghdad.  Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack walks the oil, the cabinet, and the revenue file toward a close. The real question is why Washington cares this much about one country in particular...Washington does not move this hard on a country it holds no stake in...Washington is there for the monetary result...A new financial system needs this last piece fixed, and whoever is holding the dinar when the rate flips gets paid.

Stephen The current central bank governor is butting heads with the new prime minister because the new prime minister Kaidi is wanting to increase the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and the current central bank governor was threatening to resign...It seems like they are at odds.  I personally believe we're going to see a replacement of the central bank  governor most likely in the next 30 to 60 days.  Maybe sooner.

Militia Man  The United States-Iran agreement is a significant positive tailwind for the country of Iraq.  It supports my outside the box thinking that things could move faster than most conservative timelines even suggest...We see all kinds of wonderful things taking place ...All of this taking place creates an environment t that makes a managed REER in the coming weeks, months, even more feasible and well timed...

Jeff   Banking reform...is waiting for the rate to change...Attracting investment is waiting for the rate to change...The private sector must play a larger role, again, need the rate to change for that.  Everything in Iraq right now is waiting for the rate to change.  That's why it looks like absolutely nothing in Iraq has happened in this month of June or since the new PM has come in.  The new PM cannot do anything till the rate changes.

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued

Edu Matrix:  6-15-2026

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued - Special Report on Iraq and Iraq's Neighbors and 7 to 10 reasons why the Iraqi Dinar has not adjusted.

Investing in foreign currency can often feel like a gamble, but for some, the decision is rooted in a sense of duty or historical optimism.

A recent video from Edu Matrix on YouTube features a compelling personal narrative from a retired tax professional who, two decades ago, made a significant investment in the Iraqi dinar. Driven by a letter from then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice encouraging military members to support the reconstruction of Iraq, the investor hoped to see both personal growth and the stabilization of a nation. However, the reality of the past twenty years has proven to be much more complex than anticipated.

The narrative highlights the stark contrast between the initial vision for Iraq and the current economic reality.

 Rather than the appreciation many investors had hoped for, the dinar has experienced significant devaluation, leaving long-term holders feeling frustrated and disillusioned. The speaker dives deep into why this stagnation has persisted, pointing toward a web of geopolitical, economic, and spiritual challenges. A primary concern raised in the discussion is the influence of neighboring nations, particularly Iran, on Iraq’s domestic policy and economic decision-making.

According to the speaker, this external pressure has historically hindered Iraq’s ability to assert full economic sovereignty.

Beyond the financials, the video explores the structural hurdles Iraq faces in integrating into the global banking system.

The legacy of the 2003 invasion, coupled with ongoing struggles regarding the management of oil revenue and foreign intervention, provides a sobering look at how difficult it is for a nation to rebuild its financial foundation after years of conflict.

The speaker also touches upon the broader regional tensions currently shifting across the Middle East, suggesting that recent developments may signal a pivot point for Iraq’s future on the world stage.

Despite the personal disappointment surrounding the stagnant investment, the speaker maintains a hopeful outlook for the people of Iraq. There is a palpable desire to see the nation emerge as a stable, independent, and prosperous player in the global market—a shift that would naturally strengthen the dinar against the U.S. dollar.

The discussion concludes by bridging the gap between numbers and culture, as the speaker reflects on the ethnic and historical tensions that define the region. Through personal anecdotes from traveling and engaging with local communities, the narrative emphasizes that the road to economic stability is inextricably linked to the complex, deeply human identity of the Iraqi people.

For those interested in a deeper dive into the intersection of geopolitical history and currency investment, this video offers a candid, firsthand perspective on the realities of long-term international holding. You can watch the full discussion on the Edu Matrix YouTube channel.

Reset Intelligence: Closing in on World Peace

6-15-2026

Closing in on World Peace

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

On June 14, Donald Trump declared the war with Iran complete and ordered the United States naval blockade lifted, with the signing set for Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.

The same day, with almost no one reporting it, Iraq secured both of its oil export routes at once. That is the move that matters for anyone holding the dinar.

Two routes, one day

Trump posted that the deal is done, opened the Strait of Hormuz toll-free, and lifted the naval blockade. The same morning, Iraq’s Army Chief of Staff flew to Erbil and signed a security agreement protecting Kurdistan’s oil fields. The southern Gulf passage and the northern pipeline up through Turkey came back online together, after months reduced to a trickle through one.

The money that holds the rate

Before the war, Iraq’s oil sales brought in around 7 billion dollars a month. The blockade cut that to under a billion. The signature turns the income back on, and that income fills the budget that holds the dinar’s exchange rate. Iraq’s 2026 budget is written at the central bank’s rate of 1,300 to the dollar. The cabinet still has 9 seats to fill, and parliament returns July 1.

The wider read

• Europe – Britain, France, Germany and Italy signaled they are ready to lift their Iran sanctions, which starts pulling down the wall that kept Iraq’s banks out of the global payment system. The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed its reform reached its second phase, with compliant banks cleared to move foreign currency again.

• The dates – the G7 opens in Evian this week, the Fed closes Wednesday, the signing lands Friday, and the calendar stacks toward July 4.

• The pattern – a spring of declassified files keeps proving the people who were called conspiracy theorists right. The full briefing connects that to the rest.

This is the short version. The full daily briefing connects the moves, names the players, walks the history, and tells you what it actually means for anyone holding currency, with every source verified and full audio narration.

Guy The Vietnam dong is going to be right on the heels of the Iraqi dinar.  My intel says that Vietnam has actually contacted the Americans a year ago and said, 'we're ready go now. Why would we we have to wait for Iraq to get their act together?  We're ready.'  The US just said, 'Calm down.  Everything is going by a plan.'  I think Vietnam is going to go right after them...

Frank26  All the pieces are falling into place for [Iraq's] monetary reform.  Trust me, Z is not coming to Washington DC simply to talk about investors.  Mark my word.  With the Strait of Hormuz now open, [Iraq's] oil is going to flow and the HCL is going to explode with the new exchange rate.  People can say this is quite a coincidence.  No, this was supreme timing...

Militia Man President Trump announced the US and Iran had reached an agreement...The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened immediately to all commercial traffic toll-free...A formal ceremony is expected to be in Switzerland on Friday...I think that's really big news because Iraq and Iran are heavy trading partners. It's going to have an influence... probably a lot bigger than many ever realize...The momentum we're seeing is for real...

Reset Intelligence  Trump declares the Iran war complete. The blockade lifts. Baghdad secures Kurdistan's oil fields. Both routes reconnect. The rate waits inside the budget.
