Washington Supports the Dinar Plan ?

Sunday Update - Washington Supports the Dinar Plan ?

The Dinar Den:  8-23-2026

The discussion surrounding international currency markets and potential revaluations often brings significant interest from long-term observers. Among these topics, the economic restructuring of Iraq and the potential revaluation (RV) of the Iraqi Dinar stand out.

In a recent analysis shared by Stephen, host of The Dinar Den and an experienced observer of Iraqi financial trends since 2011, key updates were highlighted regarding where Iraq stands in its journey toward comprehensive monetary reform.

While Stephen clearly notes that his insights reflect personal commentary rather than direct financial advice, his long-term perspective—spanning over 15 years, with accelerated momentum over the past six months—provides a detailed framework for understanding the complex mechanisms driving Iraq’s financial ecosystem.

A central theme in recent economic discourse is the debate between simple redenomination and true currency revaluation.

A common narrative suggests that the Iraqi government might simply “delete the zeros” from its currency notes. However, financial mechanics dictate that removing zeros from banknotes without adjusting the underlying currency rate or pegging it effectively to a strong anchor, such as the US dollar, does not inherently create added purchasing power.

For a currency adjustment to deliver meaningful economic value, a redenomination must coincide with an actual revaluation or structural “reinstatement.”

This process requires the local currency to gain tangible purchasing power in international trade. Simply changing the numerical presentation on paper is cosmetic; true financial reform requires real economic backing, expanded foreign reserves, and stabilized exchange mechanisms.

Understanding Iraq’s monetary trajectory also requires analyzing regional politics and foreign policy influences. Stephen references insights from Mazin Al-Eshaiker, a prominent Iraqi economic commentator affiliated with the Prime Minister’s office. Al-Eshaiker has suggested that policy discussions in Washington lean toward supporting zero-deletion initiatives as a strategy to maintain dollar stability and trade dominance in the region.

While this perspective represents commentary rather than an official statement from the United States government, it underscores the visible impact of international economic relations on Iraq’s domestic choices. The interplay between Iraqi fiscal decisions and broader international financial systems highlights why monetary changes take time and require diplomatic alignment.

To evaluate when monetary reform might realistically occur, Stephen highlights a strategic four-step sequence originally outlined in consultation with David from Reset Intelligence. This roadmap stresses that currency reform is not an isolated event, but rather the final piece of a much larger stability puzzle:

National Security Consolidation: Establishing full government control over sovereign borders and internal security to foster a safe environment for foreign investment.

Completion of the Government Cabinet: Fully keying in essential administrative positions, specifically within the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior, to ensure operational continuity.

Legal and Fiscal Infrastructure: Finalizing national budgets, passing the long-awaited Hydrocarbon Law (HCL), and establishing clear international oil-sharing agreements.

Implementation of Currency Reforms: Executing structural monetary changes only after political, legal, and security foundations are firmly operational.

This sequence reinforces a fundamental economic principle: institutional stability and legal frameworks must always precede major adjustments to national currency value.

Despite the operational delays historically seen in the region, several positive trends have recently emerged. Improved regional cooperation has facilitated the continued movement of Iraqi oil exports through key trade corridors like the Strait of Hormuz, boosting national oil revenues. Concurrently, administrative cooperation between the central government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding the HCL signals structural legislative progress.

Furthermore, ongoing anti-corruption initiatives led by the current Prime Minister—supported by international governance oversight—are working to institutionalize fiscal transparency.

While these milestones foster cautious optimism for developments within 2024, experienced market observers advise against listening to unverified speculative claims regarding specific “insider dates.” Structural financial transitions rely on verifiable legislation and institutional execution, not arbitrary calendar marks.

The evolving economic landscape in Iraq represents a compelling study in post-conflict financial reconstruction. For those following the journey of the Iraqi Dinar, maintaining expectations grounded in tangible policy shifts, verified legislation, and official banking updates remains essential.

As Iraq continues to check off foundational requirements—from security stability to energy legislation—the potential for meaningful financial modernizations grows stronger.

Rob Cunningham: Federal Reserve Bypass Operation in Effect

Rob Cunningham: Federal Reserve Bypass Operation in Effect

FEDERAL RESERVE BYPASS OPERATION IN EFFECT

Something profound just happened to the architecture of money.

The GENIUS Act is now law.

It creates a legal framework for 1:1 reserve-backed payment stablecoins and expressly directs regulators to promote interoperability with the broader digital-finance ecosystem—including public and permissioned blockchains.

Think about what this means.

For more than a century, moving dollars at institutional scale meant moving through an architecture dominated by banks, correspondent accounts and ultimately Federal Reserve settlement infrastructure.

Stablecoins separate the dollar from the rail carrying the dollar.

A compliant digital dollar can potentially move:

Person → Person
Business → Business
Bank → Bank
Machine → Machine
Nation → Nation

24/7/365.

The Federal Reserve itself now acknowledges that stablecoins are becoming potential competitors to traditional transaction accounts in payments, settlement and transactional stores of value.

And look at what the Fed is doing simultaneously:

It has proposed a new special-purpose Payment Account whose holders would receive NO interest on balances and have NO discount-window access.

Read that again.

The emerging architecture increasingly separates three things we were trained to think were inseparable:

THE MONEY.
THE ISSUER.
THE PAYMENT RAIL.

GENIUS doesn’t abolish the Federal Reserve.

It does something potentially FAR MORE consequential:

It makes Federal Reserve payment infrastructure less indispensable to the movement of dollar-denominated value.

And underneath qualifying stablecoins?

Real reserves.

Cash.
Treasuries.
Highly liquid collateral.

The dollar doesn’t disappear.

The dollar becomes programmable, portable and potentially interoperable at internet scale.

That changes the question from:

“Who controls the payment network?”
to:
“Whose value is being represented, under whose law, and by whose consent?”

That is where monetary sovereignty gets interesting.

A republic ultimately accountable to its people requires transparent rules, honest representation of value and institutions that serve the monetary system – not a monetary system permanently captive to any institution.

THE DOLLAR IS BECOMING SEPARABLE FROM THE RAIL.

THE RAIL IS BECOMING INTEROPERABLE.

THE NETWORK IS BECOMING 24/7.

FEDERAL RESERVE BYPASS OPERATION IN EFFECT.

Majeed KSA: RV Summary as of 23rd August 2026

RV summary:

– The name of the last two nominees left to fill up the cabinet, were sent to the Prime Minister’s office last night.

– US treasury squeezed Iran by the balls… the economy is so bad in Iran, Iran started crawling for any way to get money through any neighboring country especially Iraq and keep kissing Iraq’s a*s in order to get something… but the Prime Minister keep giving them the middle finger.

– US treasury promises hell on Iran this week… it will be a historical collapse to this regime.

– CBI implemented advanced mechanism to control liquidity also to strengthen the currency value and increased trust in banks.

– Prime Minister of Iraq, insist that Iraq is moving forward with the neighing country and ignoring any obstacle…

– This week, council of minister will approve ASYCUDA agreement that was reached between Kurdistan and Iraq.

Iraq stopped selling more dinar to the international market and instead they’re asking the international market to return stolen funds that is held in an offshore accounts.

Many Websites that sells Iraqi dinar have officially stopped, and many currency exchange places putting people on waitlist to get dinar because it’s hard to get a hold of it.

Except on banknote world website they are still selling you whatever you want. Because that’s an old website and maybe they have big inventory.

The New Region:Iraq has formed a special committee to contact authorities in other countries where stolen funds are suspected to be held, with Lebanon sticking out as the main destination in question, an official said Sunday. https://thenewregion.com/posts/6309

Bingo.

Prime Minister’s Security Advisor Qassim al-Araji: “Al-Zeidi will not be nominated for a second term and is the man of the current stage”

– One week ago, the minister of communication in Iraq exposed the decision to delete three zeros.

– Today I gave “RV summary” read it.

– In a few hours US treasury will launch a historical hell on Iran.

Convince me we’re not close, I dare you… i’m waiting.

Jeff  The amount of dinar right now presently around the world is 136 trillion....Is the dinar outside [Iraq] usable for anything?  Hell no it's not.  So, does the central bank give two shits about it?  Absolutely not...Why?  It's not usable, can't be used for anything outside of Iraq...The United States has about half of Iraq's money supply.  Can the US do anything with it? Nope...The Central Bank only cares about how much dinar is physically within the country of Iraq.  It's roughly 20 to 40 trillion.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Jeff When they delete the zeros the money supply changes...to 20 to 40 billion which is a perfect amount.  Now, What are all these countries going to do with unusable, unrecognizable currency? They're using it to asset back.  It's called Basil III compliance to asset back or strengthen their own country's physical currency because Basil III says countries can strengthen the value of their country's currencies with both precious metals and physical currency notes...The central bank doesn't care about the dinar outside of Iraq.  They only care about the dinar that remains in-country. [Post 2 of 2]

Rob Cunningham: Liberty at Machine Scale and the Stairway to Abundance

Rob Cunningham: Liberty at Machine Scale and the Stairway to Abundance

8-23-2026

What Does Liberty at Machine Scale Mean to Humanity?

We can’t begin to process the scope and scale of abundance humanity is soon to enjoy.

Imagine that today you own: $10 million of land.

The land may make you wealthy on paper, but you cannot send 0.003% of it across the planet at 2:14 AM, place it into an automated liquidity pool, use it for a three-hour secured financing transaction, retrieve it, pledge it elsewhere, or exchange part of its economic exposure against another asset.

Tokenization of all RWA changes the representation and mobility of that value.

Now expand this concept to: land + real estate + private equity + infrastructure + mineral rights + commodities + precious metals + intellectual property + receivables + equipment + financial securities + other legally recognized property rights.

This economic transformation can be summarized by one equation: Static Wealth → Programmable Productive Capital

That is much more consequential than merely digitizing ownership records.

Humanity may discover that what we historically perceived as a shortage of capital was partly a shortage of capital mobility.

We already possessed the land.

We already possessed the minerals.

We already possessed the buildings.

We already possessed the businesses.

We already possessed the inventions.

We already possessed the productive capability.

We frequently lacked a universal mechanism for turning those things into verifiable, divisible, interoperable, continuously mobile economic claims.

Tokenization doesn’t create the mountain.

It builds roads to the mountain.

We can’t begin to process the scope and scale of abundance all humanity is soon to enjoy.

STAIRWAY TO ABUNDANCE

There’s a world we inherited, sleeping in stone,
With a fortune beneath every road.
In the fields, in the mountains, the stories we own,
There is value that never could flow.

We counted our money,
But not what was real.
We measured the river
While damming its wheel.

Then somebody opened the gate.

And the earth became liquid,
The silent could speak.
A mountain found markets,
An acre found wings.

A fraction could travel
While ownership stayed,
And wealth that stood motionless
Entered the trade.

What if abundance was always here—
Waiting for a way to move?

Gold in the ground.
Homes on the street.
Ideas in a notebook.
Harvests of wheat.

Factories. Patents.
Businesses. Land.
The work of a lifetime
Held in human hands.

Not manufactured wealth.

Discovered wealth.

Not money from nothing.

Value made mobile.

And suddenly midnight
Was no longer “closed.”
No border could tell human value
Where value could go.

The markets kept breathing.
The engines stayed awake.
Machines searched for pathways
Humans couldn’t calculate.

Value met value.

Buyer met seller.

Collateral found capital.

And capital found creation.

Then something remarkable happened:

The question stopped being—

“Where will we find enough?”

And became—

“What will humanity build
when what we already have
can finally flow?”

Let the land become liquid
without selling the land.

Let the builder find capital
without losing his hands.

Let the inventor find markets.
Let the farmer find choice.

Let a billion forgotten assets
finally discover a voice.

Because wealth isn’t paper.

And wealth isn’t debt.

Wealth is creation
the ledger hasn’t recognized yet.

It’s sunlight and labor,
Copper and grain,
Human imagination
turning knowledge to gain.

It’s everything useful.
Everything true.
Everything humanity
can dream, make and do.

And when static wealth
becomes productive capital,

When trapped value
becomes programmable,

When ownership becomes divisible,

When markets become continuous,

When settlement approaches instantaneous,

When the whole world
can finally trade value
for value—

We may discover something
our age of scarcity
never permitted us to imagine:

We weren’t standing
at the end of prosperity.

We were standing
at its beginning.

So open the gates.

Let value flow.

Let humanity discover
the wealth it already owns.

And somewhere beyond
the old walls of scarcity,

A generation will look backward
and wonder why we ever believed Abundance was impossible.

– – the end – –

Godspeed to us all!

Jon Dowling: Where Iraq Stands Now for the Rest of the Year and Wealth Transfer Updates

Jon Dowling: Where Iraq Stands Now for the Rest of the Year and Wealth Transfer Updates, August 2026

8-22-2026

In a recent eye-opening podcast episode hosted by Jon Dowling, guest Sandy Miarecki breaks down the mechanics of an impending financial reset.

From the quiet recall of billions in physical U.S. dollar pallets overseas to the introduction of asset-backed Treasury notes, Miarecki outlines a transition away from the Federal Reserve system.

 Furthermore, the discussion dives into how states like Florida are preparing to decouple from federal control, and how everyday people can prepare for a historic market correction.

For years, alternative financial analysts have warned that the Federal Reserve note (the fiat U.S. dollar) is unsustainable. According to Sandy Miarecki, we are now witnessing the physical dismantling of this debt-based system.

One of the most startling revelations in the podcast is the ongoing recall of billions of dollars in cash pallets held globally. Historically, the U.S. has exported physical fiat currency to stabilize foreign markets or fund offshore operations. Recalling these pallets signifies a systematic winding down of the Federal Reserve note system.

What replaces the dying fiat dollar? Miarecki explains that the financial system is transitioning toward constitutional money:

The Return of Tangible Value: New Treasury notes, backed by physical assets like gold and silver, are being prepared to restore true purchasing power.

The Role of USDTS: The transition will bridge the physical and digital worlds. A new digital Treasury system (DTS/USDTS) backed by tangible assets is set to realign global finance with constitutional principles, ensuring currency cannot be printed out of thin air by private central banks.

As the federal government faces systemic insolvency, individual states are beginning to assert their constitutional sovereignty. A prime example discussed by Miarecki is Florida’s new Clarity Act.

The Clarity Act is more than just state-level legislation—it is a testbed for states looking to decouple from federal corporate control.

Affirming Sovereignty: The act reasserts the state’s independence from unconstitutional federal mandates.

Tax Reform: By implementing localized tax structures and financial protections, Florida is building a firewall against federal overreach.

A Model for the Nation: Due to Florida’s prominence and its ties to key political figures, the state is uniquely positioned to draft the blueprint for how other states can reclaim their independence as sovereign republics rather than administrative corporate subsidiaries of Washington, D.C.

We are not just in a standard economic downturn; according to Miarecki, both the U.S. residential real estate market and the stock market are trapped in unprecedented, artificially inflated “super hyperbubbles.”

For years, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates artificially manipulated and pumped trillions of dollars into the banking sector. This has resulted in:

Historic Real Estate Inflation: Housing prices have detached entirely from median household incomes.

Extreme Margin Debt: Stock market investors have borrowed record amounts of capital to buy equities, creating a highly leveraged house of cards.

Miarecki warns that a sharp correction of over 50% is looming in both real estate and stocks. While a systemic collapse of this scale poses immense risk to the unprepared, it also presents a historic opportunity.

As the paper-based, manipulated markets dissolve, wealth will not disappear—it will transfer. Those who position themselves in tangible, physical assets (such as gold, silver, and real property) stand to benefit from a massive realignment of global wealth.

Beyond the numbers, the podcast touches on the geopolitical undercurrents driving this reset. Miarecki and Dowling discuss potential, highly anticipated indictments and arrests of key figures linked to globalist cartels and the “cabal.”

The dismantling of the Federal Reserve is not merely an economic event; it is a political extraction of corrupt entities that have controlled global wealth for over a century. The economic adjustments we are seeing are directly correlated with these behind-the-scenes legal and political maneuvers.

The insights shared by Sandy Miarecki paint a picture of a world in transition. While the main stream media focuses on daily political theater, the true shifts are happening in the plumbing of the global financial system and state-level sovereignty acts.

Ross: Take a Look at How Far We’ve Come

8-22-2026

One of my employees who invested in IQD a while back asked me for an update so I tried to formulate something concise to share with them and man… when you take a look at how far we’ve come in such a short time… so exciting:

• Official announcement: decision to delete 3 zeros is made

• Zeros deletion = Step 1 (internal cleanup). Rate move = Step 2

• ~40 trillion IQD potentially blocked via proof-of-origin checks

• Communications Minister speaking on currency is unusual (normally CBI territory)

• Zaidi’s first 100 days framed as major repositioning + serious anti-c********n

• Clawbacks and canceled contracts improve fiscal runway for a higher rate

• 2027 budget submission expected late Sept / early Oct

• Budget written at the old rate becomes obsolete if the rate moves after — creates a hard window

• Digital payment infrastructure and bank reintegration advancing

• Regional pressure has made banking + fiscal reforms non-optional

• Everything is aligning for the rate adjustment phase

Reset Intelligence: Iran’s Banker Confirms the Oil Money is at Zero

Reset Intelligence: Iran’s Banker Confirms the Oil Money is at Zero

8-22-2026

Iraq’s Militias Lose Their Paymaster

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iran’s central bank governor went on his own state television this week and said the words out loud: oil exports have stopped, and Tehran cannot reach its own reserves.

Every armed faction in Iraq that still refuses to hand its weapons to the state has run for 2 decades on that money. The payroll behind the weapons just lost its bank.

The Confession

Abdolnaser Hemmati runs the Central Bank of Iran. Days after sitting in Baghdad asking after billions in trapped Iranian funds, he told state media that oil exports have fallen to zero and that Iran cannot access its own financial resources. Ship-tracking data backs him: Iranian crude through the strait collapsed 97 percent between late June and mid August.

What Moved in Iraq the Same Week

• The weapons file – Iraqi forces seized 49 drones and shut 71 f**e offices trading on the Popular Mobilization name. A counter-terror unit detained a faction intelligence chief in Dhi Qar under a judicial warrant.

• The holdouts blink – Kataib Hezbollah published a list of conditions for putting its weapons under the state. A faction that publishes terms is negotiating. And Tehran itself publicly backed Iraq’s plan to regulate faction weapons.

• The revenue rail – the Council of Ministers approved crude exports through alternative routes, contracts effective September 1, with loading stations rebuilt toward 300,000 barrels per day.

• The budget – the Kurdistan Region finalized and filed its share of the 2027 federal budget, the paper that has to carry the dinar’s next number.

• Washington – Treasury designated a Hizballah bulk-cash courier network, and Secretary Bessent holds a Monday press conference to detail what he calls the toughest sanctions in history.

Every question about the dinar has always led back to the weapons. This week the men holding them started asking what handing them over pays.

That is the short version, and it is all public record. What it means for the dinar, the order these pieces land in, and what to watch next week – that is the daily work, and it is in the full briefing.

‍Iraq Currency Update: Why September 15th Could Be a Significant Date | Jon Dowling

‍Iraq Currency Update: Why September 15th Could Be a Significant Date | Jon Dowling

8-21-2026

The intersection of geopolitical developments and global financial markets continues to present a complex landscape for investors, policy analysts, and market observers alike.

Recent reports highlight a pivotal moment marked by structural economic changes in the Middle East, major regulatory shifts in digital assets, and significant movements across precious metals and energy markets. Understanding these interwoven dynamics is essential for navigating the broader global economic landscape.

This comprehensive overview explores the latest updates regarding Iraq’s fiscal milestones, international security initiatives, emerging cryptocurrency regulations, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and the resilient rally in commodities.

A major milestone in Middle Eastern economic stabilization has been reached with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Finance Ministry officially submitting its 2027 budget proposal to Baghdad. This step demonstrates an ongoing commitment toward administrative cooperation and long-term fiscal planning. The submission reflects a shared desire to establish financial clarity and foster an environment conducive to sustained regional development.

However, full economic normalization remains dependent on several critical pieces of pending legislation. Key parameters, including finalized official currency exchange rates and the long-awaited national oil and gas law, remain under active negotiation.

Finalizing these legal frameworks is vital for establishing transparent revenue-sharing mechanisms and attracting long-term foreign investment into the region’s energy sector.

Alongside fiscal developments, strategic security operations across Iraq are undergoing a notable shift. International partners, including specialized units such as U.S. Delta Forces and French military detachments, are strengthening coordinate efforts with Iraqi counterterrorism forces. These joint operations focus on neutralizing militia influences, reinforcing state sovereignty, and maintaining stability for key government leadership, including Prime Minister Al-Zaidi.

This enhanced international cooperation points toward a decisive timeline aimed at establishing broader security benchmarks ahead of mid-September. By addressing non-state armed elements and safeguarding civil institutions, these efforts aim to build a secure environment capable of supporting systemic economic reforms and rebuilding infrastructure.

The broader geopolitical environment across the Middle East reflects complex strategic maneuvering. Recent economic sanctions and diplomatic policy adjustments targeted at regional actors aim to redefine balance-of-power dynamics. These strategic measures serve to protect trade corridors, counter destabilizing influences, and foster stronger bilateral relationships among key regional partners, including Saudi Arabia.

As state actors recalibrate their foreign policies, the focus remains on minimizing disruptions to global supply chains and stabilizing regional energy production. The broader goal of these diplomatic and economic policies is to pave the way for sustainable economic integration across the Middle East while curbing proxy activities that threaten commercial transit and civic stability.

In the financial technology sector, regulatory frameworks surrounding digital assets appear to be reaching a pivotal moment. Recent engagements between policy leaders and industry executives—such as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s participation in high-level White House discussions—signal a growing institutional openness toward formalizing crypto regulations.

Much of this momentum aligns with the anticipated progress of regulatory initiatives like the Clarity Act. Expected policy decisions scheduled around mid-September could provide much-needed legal certainty for digital asset platforms, institutional investors, and blockchain enterprises. A clear regulatory mandate will likely reshape market sentiment, encouraging compliant financial innovation while establishing safeguards for mainstream capital adoption.

Turning to central bank policy, global markets are closely watching upcoming decisions by the Federal Reserve. Despite mixed signals regarding inflation moderation and softening employment metrics, expectations point toward potential interest rate adjustments. Analysts suggest that these policy choices reflect a delicate balancing act designed to manage inflation perceptions while supporting underlying labor market realities.

The anticipated shift in interest rate policy carries significant implications for market confidence. As borrowing costs adjust, yields across sovereign debt markets and equity valuations will need to recalibrate, directly impacting international currency movements and corporate financing strategies heading into the final quarters of the year.

Commodity markets are demonstrating robust momentum, characterized by significant rallies in precious metals like gold and silver, alongside steady performance in crude oil. Silver and gold have tested critical resistance levels, breaking past previous price caps and signaling a potential shift in broader market sentiment. Concurrently, a weakening U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continues to provide a strong tailwind for hard assets.

These commodity price movements often act as a harbinger of wider macroeconomic adjustments. As physical assets draw renewed capital inflows, equities and real estate sectors may experience heightened volatility, prompting portfolio managers to reallocate resources toward inflation-hedging instruments and tangible store-of-value assets.

Beyond market mechanics and economic metrics, broader reflections highlight the importance of aligning financial practices with personal values and ethical principles. Navigating volatile economic cycles requires more than monitoring ticker symbols; it calls for a clear understanding of long-term priorities, stewardship, and personal integrity.

True economic security is built on foundational values that transcend paper wealth or speculative digital assets. Maintaining balanced priorities, supporting community resilience, and practicing prudent management remain timeless principles for weathering complex global transitions.

The U.S. Treasury campaign Operation RIAL COLLAPSE (I made that up) ran for approximately 18 months. It was not a sanctions regime. Sanctions are public-facing and performative.

What Treasury executed was a systemic financial strangulation protocol. Working through Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Financial Crisis Enforcement Network, and a cooperative liaison with the Iraqi Central Bank’s newly digitized clearinghouse, the U.S. systematically identified and froze every secondary and tertiary financial channel Iran used to move currency.

Iraq’s Digital Currency Transition:

Iraq’s announcement that it is going digital is not separate from the U.S. Treasury campaign. It is the second phase of it.

The dinar has been manipulated for years through black-market currency auction operations run through the Central Bank of Iraq. The weekly currency auctions which were nominally managed to stabilize the dinar were in fact a mechanism through which billions of dollars were siphoned to militia networks, Iranian intermediaries, and corrupt Iraqi political figures. The auctions were a Cabal revenue pipeline.

Digitization kills this pipeline. A fully digital currency system with transparent ledger tracking makes the currency auction manipulation functionally impossible. Every transaction is traceable. Every intermediary is identifiable. Every siphon point is exposed.

This is what the user’s original analysis regarding the deletion of three zeros from the dinar connects to. The redenomination is not merely a cosmetic currency reform.

It is the replacement of the old manipulated dinar with a new digital instrument that carries no legacy baggage. The old dinar was the currency of corruption. The new digital dinar is the currency of accountability.

Militia Man 1310 is not a REER.  1310 is the current official exchange rate the Central Bank of Iraq uses for formal transactions.  It is an administered rate, not a market determined one.  A REER (Real Effective Exchange Rate) is different.  It's a managed move that looks at the dinar's real value against a basket of currencies adjusted for inflation... The Iraqi dinar is not freely commercially traded on major global markets the way currencies like the euro, yen or pound are...1310 is not a Real Effective Exchange Rate...

Stephen  For everyone wanting to poo-poo on the dinar investor and say, 'Look, they're telling us they're redenominating their currency.  It's going to be a neutral event.'  This is exactly what I always expected.  If there was going to be a revaluation or reinstatement of Iraq's dinar to its former value or increase it to a dollar...it would be accompanied by talk of a redenomination...

Jeff They'll probably have 90 days to turn in large notes to get small ones.  That's in-country.  The 90-day expiration of the large notes will apply to everybody.  When the rate changes we're all going to have 90-days to run them in.  In Iraq they're going to get smaller notes.  Outside of Iraq you're going to do a currency swap and get your country's native  currency.  In our case we'll be turning in large note to the dollar.

Are World's Elites About To DUMP Everything? | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  8-20-2026

Michael Pento warns that multiple historic financial bubbles are now converging, with equities, real estate, credit, and leverage all reaching extreme levels simultaneously.

He argues that AI investment is increasingly fueled by debt and circular financing rather than organic cash flow, potentially creating another major vulnerability in the credit markets.

Pento predicts the next market crash could be extraordinarily severe, with stocks potentially falling 50% and home prices declining 25–30%, while banks and municipalities face mounting losses.

He also warns that the government and Federal Reserve may lack the balance-sheet capacity to respond as they have in previous crises, potentially producing rising long-term interest rates and prolonged stagflation.

 Pento says investors should closely monitor credit spreads, real interest rates, financial conditions, and the Fed's balance sheet—and argues that gold and liquidity could become increasingly important.

Rob Cunningham: Treasury Secretary Bessent is the Smartest Banker on Earth

Rob Cunningham: Treasury Secretary Bessent is the Smartest Banker on Earth

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the smartest banker on earth.

Stablecoins destroy the Central Banker’s scarcity deception when sound currencies and tokenized real-world assets prove – in real time – the vastness of real-world value that actually exist in abundance.

The deeper inversion is this:

Scarcity moves from declared fiat currency → to verifiably real money.

A central bank can print additional monetary units. It cannot print energy, gold, land, oil, food, productive capacity, human labor, or technological output into existence.

In a system built around verifiable reserves, transparent tokenization, auditable collateral, and freely negotiated exchange, the question changes from:

“How much money exists?”
to:
“What verifiable value does this money represent?”

That distinction is transformative. Money becomes less capable of manufacturing the appearance of abundance through monetary expansion while the genuinely scarce resources underneath it remain unchanged.

Or reduced to this:

You can print money.
You cannot print value.
Tokenize the truth, and the difference becomes impossible to hide.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:Crypto is not a threat to the dollar. In fact, stablecoins can reinforce dollar supremacy. Digital assets are one of the most important phenomena in the world right now, yet they have been ignored by national governments for far too long. This administration is committed to establishing the United States as a hub for digital asset innovation, and the GENIUS Act moves us one step closer to that goal.
