Tishwash:  US Energy Secretary Arrives in Venezuela to Finalize Oil Deal Giving Washington Greater Control

Chris Wright says new investment agreements could more than double Venezuela’s oil production as Washington seeks to expand its influence over the country’s vast reserves

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright arrived in Venezuela on Tuesday to finalize a major oil agreement that would give Washington effective control over a significant share of the country’s petroleum production, following approval by Venezuela’s government-dominated National Assembly.

 US President Donald Trump announced the agreement last week, saying it would give the United States majority control of operations involving 17 oil fields containing about 65 billion barrels of proven reserves.

 Wright said upon his arrival that “several deals” would be announced on Wednesday and predicted that the agreements would lead to more than a doubling of Venezuela’s oil production over the next few years.

“These investment deals in Venezuela are to bring peace, opportunity and prosperity to the people of Venezuela and to the people of the United States,” Wright told reporters.

 US oil giant Chevron is also expected to announce a major expansion of its operations in Venezuela on Wednesday.

Washington has defended the agreements as a way to increase Venezuelan oil production, potentially lower energy prices for US consumers and reduce Russian and Chinese influence in a country located close to the United States.

The deal comes after Washington dramatically expanded its influence over Caracas following the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January.

Washington Seeks Control of Oil Assets

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that a private company was working with the US government to “normalize the Venezuelan economy.”

“Essentially, this is now an agreement with the US government,” Rubio said in a Spanish-language interview with Venezuelan journalist Sergio Novelli.

He said the US Defense Department would be involved through a special account that would allow Washington to take possession of a percentage of the assets involved in the agreement.

Rubio said the arrangement would enable the company to increase production and attract the private investment required to restore Venezuela’s oil fields. He added that the “vast majority” of the 17 fields had previously been in the hands of Chinese and Russian companies.

The agreement would grant the United States preferential access to oil produced from the 17 fields, including facilities previously operated by Russian and Chinese companies.

 In Caracas, some opposition lawmakers abstained from the National Assembly’s show-of-hands vote, arguing that they should first be allowed to examine the agreement’s written terms.

“We need and are obliged to know what is written in the fine print,” opposition lawmaker Luis Emilio Rondon said.

National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez defended the agreement, arguing that Venezuelans would benefit from increased oil production and investment.

 “Who benefits from this oil if it stays underground?” Rodriguez said.

Venezuela’s Defense Minister Gustavo Gonzalez Lopez also backed the deal, describing it as an agreement aimed at bringing “prosperity and well-being” to the country.

“Turning a political difference into an economic cooperation agreement is simply a decision to choose peace; it is not subordination,” he said.

US Government to Take 35% Stake

A major component of the agreement involves North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP), Venezuela’s second-largest private oil company, run by businessman Alejandro Betancourt.

The US government is set to take a 35 percent stake in NABEP, while Washington will receive the right to purchase 20 percent of the oil produced by the company at production cost, according to the White House.

 US citizens will hold a majority of the company’s board seats, giving Washington effective control, while the US government will have veto power over board appointments.

Betancourt has previously faced accusations of involvement in a corruption scheme involving Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA.

A US official nevertheless described him as a “proven operator,” acknowledging that geopolitical agreements can sometimes require dealing with “imperfect” partners.

US officials say American involvement will help combat corruption in Venezuela’s deteriorating oil industry and prevent Caracas from diverting large quantities of oil to its ally Cuba.

 The agreement also gives Washington a direct economic stake in restoring Venezuela’s oil production, while reducing the role previously played by Moscow and Beijing in the country’s energy sector.

For the Trump administration, increased Venezuelan production could also have a political dimension, with lower oil prices a key priority ahead of crucial US midterm elections in November, when Republicans are seeking to retain control of Congress.  link

Frank26 We need to see a government formed.  If we can get that government formed, that's to me the next thing we're looking for. Then, God willing, we'll see the CBI talk.  That's the sequence of events that we're looking for...

Jeff   Question: "What's the difference between a REER and a reinstatement?"  Jeff:  The REER is the real effective exchange rate.  That's what the value of the exchange rate is.  The reinstatement is them taking it from where it devalued and reactivating it, reinstating it.

Reset Intelligence   This week the world's 20 largest economies agreed on the record that a currency priced below its fundamentals is not a fact of nature.  It is a fault produced by choices, harmful to everyone at the table and assigned to the IMF and the OECD to watch...When Treasury told Japan the yen sits below its fundamentals the remedy on the table was not a devaluation it was up.  That is what restoring equilibrium means...The dinar has spent...decades priced by politics, war, sanctioned scaffolding, by books nobody could verify, by a shadow economy that needed the number low.  Every piece of that pricing is being dismantled in public and you have watched it happen...What was missing was the rule that says the gap itself is the problem. As of this week that rule sits on the G20's own letterhead.  The question is no longer whether anyone powerful wants a level playing field...The question is what happens to the most deliberately underpriced currency on the field when the whistle finally blows.

Iraqi Dinar: Redenomination vs. Revaluation - What You Need to Know

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-1-26

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-1-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the Big Call tonight. It's Tuesday, September 1, and you're listening to the Big Call. Thanks for tuning in again, everybody. Look forward to having another good call tonight, and hopefully we'll be imparting some really good information to you. Looking forward to it.

All right, let's do a little reset of our own. Here we are, the first of September. Let's see where we are with respect to the timing that we're looking for, we always try to create some kind of a timeline. So let's do that. I think the first thing we can look at is what we're hearing about this week. We had heard that we could get notified about middle of the week.

Now, the middle of the week is theoretically Wednesday, in terms of you know Monday through Friday, midweek. In fact, in German, the word Medvak means Wednesday. It means middle of the week, so I'm thinking okay maybe Wednesday could be the day we get notified.

Well, that's tomorrow, but what I've heard since then today points to the idea of sovereign bondholders, which that would be the whales, the big guys in tier two, being taken care of today, and then the so-called regular bondholders in tier three are supposed to be taken care of tomorrow, Wednesday, and we are supposed to hear about notifications, 800 numbers somewhere between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Now I'm hoping it's Thursday. I think it very well could be. We're getting this primarily from Redemption Center leaders directly from Wells Fargo. Now, it doesn't mean that's the end-all, be-all, because we also know the military is actually in charge of the release of this.

Okay, and military information is a little tough to get right now. In fact, most of it has been cut off over the last. I'm going to say week, week and a half.

We haven't really had military input. Maybe a little word here or a word there, but overall, I like the timing of this, and the reason I like the idea of Thursday, or Thursday, Friday, Saturday, is because of something called the Sovereign Wealth Liberation.

 Okay, our sovereign wealth liberation, and that is the concept for Tier 4B for us to be liberated with this wealth, and it also probably would extend to no more taxation as well, and that's something that's part of NESARA, and that's something I think we're looking forward to getting. So, what? When was that supposed to start? We heard about it yesterday, and it's supposed to start in three days.

So the theory would be, if we take that 72 hours at three days, extend it to Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, it makes Thursday Doable for our ability to receive this wealth liberation, and I think that that is a real thing. It's an expression that we've heard. I hadn't heard it before today, but I do believe it's a real thing, and something we  are really waiting for.

So, bottom line is, I think we're in the week we're supposed to receive this. It appears that that's the case. We do know something in. Iraq that took place, which was the Iraqi dinar.

I told you guys, I think last week we understood that we had transport planes of new lower denominations that we print here in the U.S. for Iraq, and we've done it since the beginning of their new Iraqi dinar in 2003, by the way.

So what what's amazing about that is I think that those transports, if I remember right, landed last Monday and Tuesday a week ago in Iraq with new lower denominations that would be used in the ATMs, also in the merchant shops, restaurants, etc. and those were to be disseminated and brought out.

 But to make the lower denoms really work, Iraq has to have a new revalued dinar rate in country, and what I don't know right now, and I hoped I would get it for tonight's call, is has that occurred? Has that occurred in country?

We've heard of evaluations of the Iraqi dinar at least two or three times in country, and maybe once or twice about an international, a new international rate for the dinar for regional trading between countries, and so on.

Maybe it wasn't brought out to everybody, but it might have been kept into the Middle East.

So we don't really know exactly right now tonight whether we have a newly revalued dinar, but we do know that the prime minister of  Iraq has stated that he wants all American troops be removed by the end of September.

We were under the impression that almost all had already been removed in August, but obviously, for Iraq to feel that they have their full sovereignty, they do not want the United States there with troops in country.

So he's expecting he, the Prime Minister is expecting to make some announcement around or on the 30th of September, which is the last day, about the sovereignty of Iraq.

 I'm sure the revaluation of the currency, but we know that we're going to have that sooner than 29 days from now, so that's something that's out there.

It may be a very real thing that he'll announce, but all indication we have is that everything is going on now, meaning the funds are moving in place for all of this to take place now,

Now we don't know everything, obviously, and some of the information we get morphs and changes into something and God knows we've been pushed from week to weekend to week to weekend for months now.

To be fair, question is: Have we moved far enough yet to where we can see the completion of the RV, the exchanges, the completion by the end of September?

Now, that's what I'm hearing. That means all exchanges done, redemption centers open and closed, everything good to go by the end of September.

All right. Now, what about the Iraqi dinar, which the notes that we have are what they call the three zero notes, meaning the 25k, meaning 25,000, 10,000, 5,000, 1,000. I don't think many of you have 1,000, but I do.

I got them for a different reason. But those 25k, 10k, 5k, 1k nodes with the three zeros removed would be worth 25 dinar, 10 dinar, 5 dinar, 1 dinar.

 Now, are those notes have they been lopped off effectively in country?

By the way, this does not affect the notes that we have. The notes that we have, the three zero dinar nodes are fully valued at 25,000, 10,000, 5000, 1000. So, and of course, I don't deal in that we deal in millions of dinars, or billions of dinars. 10s of millions of it, whatever.

So the good news is that those have full value for us because President Trump, in his first term, negotiated a contract rate with Dr. Sinoen Al Shabibi, who was at the time the head of the Central Bank of Iraq, and we have a contract rate which is extremely high. I've talked to you guys about it before, and it's still there. We still have it.

This is part of the reason it was negotiated was because of what we did to liberate Iraq from Saddam Hussein, and also because of the sacrifice that was made with the lives of our soldiers that went in, and also obviously the expense of it as well.

So this is sort of a a way to pay the United States back for the loss and everything that we sacrificed-we, meaning our military, sacrificed in Iraq. So that's all good.

 Now, speaking of Iraq, I heard something today I don't have proof of, but there's a possibility that Iran could use the new Iraqi dinar because their current Iranian rial is virtually worthless. It has been crushed all the way down.

 Now, what about what President Trump is doing right now? Is tomorrow could tomorrow be a significant day in the Middle East? Maybe so.

What am I hearing? I'm hearing that there's any country that is helping Iran is looking at an increase of 25% tariffs on any business that we're doing with that country.

Now remember, United Kingdom was helping, China was helping, I believe India was helping, and who knows what other countries were trying to help Iran when we have actually tried to stabilize the the process over there so that we could have a change in government, so that we could make a make a change and the people could could have something that they could be proud of in the future.

I know that we've got those tariffs will go into effect if any of those countries that I mentioned-China, Canada-I don't think is. I hope not. UK, India, Pakistan, whoever's helping helping Iran will pay the price in tariff increases.

Now, what else? What else is happening? I believe that things are happening to the point where this conflict is either about to be resolved or. or in the sense that Iran will surrender and give up and  basically come to the party.

Now, the other thing I wanted to mention is we have taken over the Strait of Hormuz, and we've also taken over Karg Island, which is where the oil comes out of Iran to go into the tanker vessels, and yes, we did bomb Karg Island and took care of the people that were trying Iranian forces that were trying to guard it and keep it and all that, but we have control of Karg Island as well as the Strait of Hormuz.

Now we're going to be there to allow the oil to flow freely under our supervision, the United States, to these other countries that were dependent on Iranian oil.

I think it's going to be different because we're the ones overseeing it and watching it and making sure it's all done properly. Well, that's about what I have in terms of the overview for this.

Are we looking at a start of Thursday or Friday or Saturday this week? We know that redemption centers had conference calls on both Saturday and Sunday this past weekend, two days in a row. I think Saturdays was an hour and five minutes, and I don't know how long Sundays was.

 But and what came out of those calls, I think it's preparation. I think it's further preparation for all the Redemption Center staff and leaders to be fully up to speed on what's about to take place.

 I feel like we are obviously we're closer than we've ever been, obviously, but I do feel that they do want to keep this quiet, and even NESARA will probably not be announced.

Now, maybe we get some of it brought out in the EBS broadcast, emergency broadcasts. We're supposed to get EBS on television, on internet, and also on phone.

 So I don't know what that's going to look like yet. Nobody really can tell us what to fully expect, but I'm looking for that to take place.

And I personally think when we start doing our exchanges, we'll have some form of EBS emergency broadcast type disclosure going on because that provides cover for us going in for exchanges.

But I really think their goal now is to get us our numbers, our 800 numbers, set our appointments, go in, then get our MedBed appointments set up, and I think we're supposed to get our exchanges done at both banks and obviously redemption centers, which is where I'm going to send you redemption centers that are overseen by Wells Fargo and U.S. Treasury.

That's where we get the contract rate on the dinar. That's where the ZIM is to be redeemed. That's why we call them redemption centers. Okay. So I want everybody to be aware of that.

Now there are some people that are still putting out ridiculous rates on the on the dong at 47 cents. No, that's far too low, and the dinar at 322 far too low.

Don't even when you see that, you realize that's just regurgitated from 20 years ago. It's just not true. We know the rates have been higher and will be higher on the screens by a long shot than those.

So I'm going to say that is what I have for tonight's call. We'll see what happens on Thursday. We'll have a call Thursday night, and we'll see what what transpires between now and then. So let me thank everybody for listening. Big Call Universe, thanks for coming in. 15 years straight listening to the Big Call, some of you, and thank you for that.

And Bob's had his company for over 15 years now, and thank you for Bob for consistency on the big call, and same thing with Sue consistency year after year for like 11 years now. It's crazy. Where did the time go? But you know when we when all this is over, we'll be able to look back on some of these calls and say, "Man, that was really, that was really fun.

And so I think it's great that you guys are tuning in and getting something from the big call. And so let's do this. Let's go ahead and pray the call out, and then we'll look forward to seeing what happens between now and Thursday. All right, Thursday night for the big call.

 Let's go ahead and turn off the recording, and then we will say good night.

Ariel: What Iraq has for their Transition (and more)

Ariel: What Iraq has for their Transition

9-2-2026

The Bottom Line Is Reserves

The Clarity Act still sitting in committee establishes the legal framework for the US Treasury to back digital and revalued currencies against hard assets. Gold. Not promises. Not petrodollar leverage. Physical bullion on US soil. Every sovereign currency that reenters the system under a revaluation protocol needs collateral backing. Iraq’s dinar can’t RV into a vacuum. It RVs into a system. That system needs reserves.

There Is No Other Way But Up

Venezuela’s bolívar went through three redenominations between 2008 and 2021. The Petro CBDC was scrapped in early 2024. What’s left is a currency so destroyed by hyperinflation that the only viable path forward is a complete reset delete the zeros, peg to a basket, and back it with the gold Venezuela still holds domestically (roughly 161 tonnes in Caracas vaults, separate from what was in London).

What Iraq Has For Their Transition

Iraq holds approximately 132.7 tonnes of gold reserves as of the latest World Gold Council reporting. But the real number including what’s in the Central Bank of Iraq’s vaults in Baghdad, what’s been quietly accumulated through Chinese gold swaps over the past 18 months, and what’s held in proxy accounts is substantially higher. The CBI has been methodically acquiring. Quietly. Consistently. During periods when gold pulled back, the CBI bought. This isn’t speculation; it’s import data through Swiss refineries that traces back to Baghdad.

The Bottom Line

The Venezuelan gold seizure wasn’t about Venezuela. It was about demonstrating the mechanism. You take the gold, you consolidate it, you put it in the vault that backs the new system, and you let every other central bank watch it happen. Then you let the legislation catch up. Then you let the troops leave. Then you let the numbers change.

Ariel: The 2027 Delay Rumor

9-2-2026

THE 2027 DELAY RUMOR — COUNTERPROPAGINA OR REAL OBSTACLE?

The rumor circulating that Iraq intends to delay the three-zero deletion until 2027 is coming from two distinct pipelines:

Pipeline A: Gulf-state financial media, specifically outlets with editorial ties to Qatari and UAE banking interests. These outlets benefit from the IQD remaining depressed because their sovereign wealth funds hold short positions on the IQD through derivative structures. Every month of delay is millions in carry-trade profits for Doha and Abu Dhabi.

Pipeline B: Actual internal Iraqi resistance. A faction within the Central Bank of Iraq’s senior advisory board tied to the previous Al-Maliki government’s corruption networks is pushing for delay because redenomination eliminates the last mechanism they have for siphoning oil revenue through currency arbitrage. Delete three zeros, and their black-market exchange operations collapse overnight.

The US position is unambiguous. The September 30, 2026 troop withdrawal deadline is not a goodwill gesture it is leverage. The message delivered through backchannel diplomatic channels is direct: redenominate by the withdrawal deadline, or the security umbrella lifts. Iraq’s military cannot independently secure its borders against Iranian Quds Force incursion. The Defense Ministry in Baghdad knows this. The US Treasury knows this. The White Hat planners know this.

The 2027 date is aspirational paranoia designed to create fatigue among currency speculators who will then sell their positions at a loss before the actual event occurs.

Reset Intelligence: September First

9-1-2026

September First

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iraq’s bypass export contracts took effect this morning, on the exact date the cabinet set.

The same week, the central bank froze the accounts of 12 senior officials while still denying any new currency exists.

The routes opened

The 3-month arrangement to export crude through local and international firms carries September 1 as its start date, and the flow is already visible. Basra’s exports have climbed to their highest level since the war with Iran began. India is set to take its first Iraqi cargo in 5 months. The Ceyhan line is ramping toward its contracted 750,000 barrels a day. Revenue that spent the summer trapped behind a mined strait is coming back on stream on routes Tehran cannot reach.

The audit reached back to 2003

While the routes opened, Baghdad turned the lights on over 23 years of paperwork:

• Integrity Commission – every government contract and final account since 2003 called in for review, no exceptions

• Dawn campaign – 1.359 trillion dinars recovered so far, on the government spokesman’s own numbers

• Asset freeze – 12 current and former political figures locked out of their accounts at every bank in Iraq, on a court order

• The street price – the dollar closed Sunday at 153,750 per $100 in Baghdad, the dinar firmer across the weekend

The calendar filled

The Prime Minister says government-formation talks conclude this week, with parliament voting next week on the 9 remaining cabinet posts. The 2027 budget, the first full budget in 2 years, is due at parliament by mid-September. The militia weapons deadline closes September 30. And on the water, CENTCOM struck IRGC launchers that were staging sea mines to re-close the lanes the Navy spent August clearing – cleared is not the same as open, and the insurers know it.

Washington moved too

Fed chair Warsh went hawkish at Jackson Hole and gold slipped back under $4,500. Treasury Secretary Bessent opened the G20 in Asheville with “America first does not mean America alone.” And the White House published the terms of a 65 billion barrel oil deal one border from Caracas. The system on the receiving end of all this is being cleared lane by lane, in public.

That is the short version – the what. The why, the 150-year-old American precedent that maps onto this exact week, and what it all means for the dinar’s next number, is in today’s full briefing

The announcement is always the last thing a state issues. The equipment comes first, and the equipment is everywhere now.

Militia Man  A redenomination, deleting the zeros, is a unit change.  It simplifies the currency, forces a note exchange and can help pull cash into formal channels...It does not by itself change the real purchasing power...If they were going to redenominate, they could have done this years and years ago... A REER, real effective exchange rate, style adjustment is different.   It is a coordinated managed realignment of the exchange rate by the CBI...It is a monetary policy decision...A coordinated rate adjustment is a deliberate structural move...Public discussion is correctly starting to separate them...the clarity is progress... 

Frank26 IMO September is for the next two steps in the process of Monetary Reform which is first redenomination with the introduction of lower denomination notes and the other is the reinstatement, leading to anytime after January 1st, the revaluation through an international float basket based on supply and demand of the international market.  IMO the first part will be about $1.30 inside of Iraq.  Then outside, we investors that invested in purchasing Iraqi currency will take the $1.30 to the real effective exchanges rate (REER) of $3.22 to about $4.25...We are getting close and closer...

Jeff   Question: "Before the troops leave Iraq will we see a completed government and new rate or will we see it in October?" Jeff: I think there's a very good chance everything is going to transpire before the troops leave by September 30th - rate, cabinet, all of that...Whether the troops are out by the 15th or the 30th doesn't matter, the rate change date is already scheduled.

Is Scott Bessent turning off Iran is then the QFS turned on

Is Scott Bessent turning off Iran is then the QFS turned on

Dr. Scott Young:9-1-2026

A fundamental restructuring of global economic power is quietly under way, marking a dramatic departure from decades of traditional central banking control.

In a compelling analysis, Dr. Scott Young explores how recent shifts in U.S. financial strategy under the Trump administration signal a new era of monetary enforcement and sovereign economic realignment.

At the center of this transformation is an unprecedented campaign led by the U.S. Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve, utilizing modern distributed ledger technologies and alternative financial tracking mechanisms to reshape international trade and enforce global compliance.

Historically, foreign policy and monetary sanctions relied heavily on traditional banking channels managed through central banking networks. However, current strategic movements illustrate a deliberate transfer of authority toward the U.S. Treasury, which is spearheading a coordinated initiative known as Operation Economic Outcast.

 By bypassing standard Federal Reserve mechanisms, the Treasury leverages modern infrastructure, often associated with advanced blockchain applications and emerging Quantum Financial System frameworks, to pinpoint and sever specific financial nodes sustaining non-compliant regimes such as Iran.

This technological shift allows authorities to map complex global transactions in real time, effectively isolating illicit actors from the international marketplace.

The scope of this modern financial campaign extends far beyond traditional bank account freezes, directly targeting the foundational pillars of foreign commerce.

Comprehensive sanctions now encompass digital assets, precious metals, commercial aviation, and maritime shipping channels to completely dismantle illegal trade networks. By identifying key transactional nodes across multiple sectors, the U.S. Treasury can enforce economic isolation with precision, neutralizing workarounds that historically allowed target nations to bypass standard currency restrictions.

Beyond immediate geopolitical maneuvers, this evolving strategy reflects a broader international movement toward sovereign independence and away from centralized banking monopolies. For decades, international finance was largely dictated by centralized entities whose policies frequently prioritized debt expansion over tangible assets.

The shift highlighted in Dr. Young’s presentation suggests a growing movement among sovereign nations to reclaim monetary independence, effectively dismantling corrupt financial structures in favor of localized, asset-backed policies that prioritize national stability and transparency.

This transformation also directly addresses the long-standing vulnerabilities of the global reserve currency model. The reliance on unbacked fiat systems is increasingly viewed as an economic liability, comparable to relying on obsolete energy resources of the past.

As the structural limitations of debt-based fiat currencies become undeniable, the global monetary landscape is reorienting toward intrinsic value. Central banks and national treasuries around the world are incrementally rebalancing their reserves toward physical gold and precious metals, preparing for a system where currency stability is directly linked to tangible assets.

For individual investors and observers of international markets, this strategic pivot highlights the critical importance of financial diversification into hard assets. As the global financial architecture transitions toward transparent ledger systems backed by precious metals, securing physical wealth outside the traditional banking infrastructure becomes an essential risk management strategy.

The integration of advanced tracking technology alongside military and treasury oversight marks a decisive moment in modern history, signaling the end of unchecked central bank dominance and the beginning of a sovereign, asset-backed financial system.

The Currency Undercurrent: Banks That Are Shifting Business Models For The Reset

Domestic Banking Infrastructure Preparations for Iraqi Dinar Revaluation Event

THE SEPTEMBER 30 CONDITIONAL

Iraq’s announcement that it will not extend the September 30 deadline for US troop withdrawal is the public-facing lever. The private understanding communicated off the record is that the withdrawal timeline is contingent on Iraq completing the redenomination process and settling its financial obligations to the United States for the banking system modernization program, which has cost US taxpayers approximately $4.7 billion since 2020.

OPERATIONAL ASSESSMENT:

Every major US bank with Iraqi correspondent relationships is prepared. The wealth management buildouts, the Arabic-speaking personnel transfers, the currency authentication device procurement, the RTGS connections, the amended correspondent agreements these are not coincidental infrastructure upgrades. They are the domestic receiving end of a pipe that Baghdad is about to turn on.

The search results that surface publicly BOA stating no plans to handle dinar notes, JPMorgan’s Iraq branch targeting project finance are technically accurate and deliberately misleading.

No bank is preparing to exchange paper dinar at a teller window. Every bank with exposure is preparing to onboard digital dinar holdings through wealth management divisions equipped to convert sovereign currency into diversified portfolios at scale.

The dinar holder who walks into a rebranded wealth management office in Dallas or Phoenix or Charlotte with authenticated holdings and proper documentation will not be turned away. They will be greeted by an advisor who has been waiting in a freshly carpeted office with a terminal that cost more than a car, connected to a server in Baghdad that finished booting up three weeks ago.

Ariel: Just Thought I’d Drop this off

9-1-2026

Just Thought I Drop This Off:

JP Morgan has been quietly reclassifying specific branch locations not all of them, targeted ones in markets with statistically insignificant foreign-currency-holding demographics.

Translation: They’re not adding Wealth Management desks in branches serving high-net-zero expat communities. They’re adding them in places like suburban Ohio, middle Tennessee, the Florida panhandle regions where the average account holder is a middle-class American who has been holding physical IQD in desk drawers for years. These aren’t wealth management additions for existing millionaires. They’re intake stations.

Which means they are not doing this for existing clients. They are preparing for “YOU”.

Reportedly this was also shared. That these sections are being staffed with personnel who have received accelerated training in exotic currency redemption procedures specifically, the documentation chain required for large-volume foreign note exchanges that exceed standard Treasury reporting thresholds. The training materials reference “anticipated high-denomination foreign currency events” without naming the IQD explicitly.

But the denomination ranges cited in the internal protocols match IQD note values exactly 25,000; 10,000; 5,000; 1,000; 500; 250.

Wells Fargo has initiated a series of what they’re calling scheduled system maintenance windows multi-hour lockdowns of specific currency exchange modules within their core banking platform.

These windows are occurring on weekends, which is standard, but the frequency has increased dramatically since Q2 2026.

The modules being updated aren’t the standard FX rails used for everyday currency exchanges. They’re the ISO 20022-compliant corridors the same messaging standard that XRP, QFS, and the post-Basel III settlement frameworks all use.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Tues. 1 Sept. 2026

Compiled Tues. 1 Sept. 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

The Ultimate Interoperability Grid Is Going Live – And the Legacy Rails Are Being Bypassed Forever. …US Treasury Center on Telegram Mon. 31 Aug. 2026

While the legacy financial media is still arguing over inflation data and interest rate cuts, a seismic infrastructure shift is (allegedly) quietly locking into place. The old correspondent banking network—built on fragmented ledgers, multi-day delays, and archaic messaging—has officially hit a structural wall. Cross-border payments are taking longer, friction is mounting, and traditional institutions are scrambling to plug the leaks.

Then came the real structural shift:
• Legacy nostro-vostro accounts are draining faster than banks can rebalance them.
• Correspondent banking fees are squeezing global trade margins to the bone.
• Settlement finality under the old T+1/T+2 rules is proving too slow for a 24/7 global economy.
• Central banks are realizing that patching legacy plumbing is no longer an option—migration is mandatory.
• And the integration window between sovereign ledgers and commercial rails is narrowing by the day.

The old system isn’t just updating; it’s being (allegedly) entirely superseded.This is not a temporary network upgrade. This is the complete migration of global value onto cryptographic, interoperable rails. And if a global settlement network requires manual intervention and days of clearing, it is no longer a financial system. It’s a bottleneck.

The New Infrastructure Is Already Online. While legacy institutions grapple with structural obsolescence, the architecture of the new financial internet is (allegedly) fully operational across five critical pillars:

1. Cross-Border Interoperability & Multi-Ledger Bridges We have moved past isolated blockchain silos. Advanced atomic swaps and decentralized bridge protocols now (allegedly) allow frictionless value transfer between public enterprise ledgers and permissioned central bank networks—settling globally in seconds, not business days.

2. The Universal Compliance & Audit Layer (ISO 20022 Integration) With the messaging standard fully enforced worldwide, every single transaction carries rich, structured data. This completely eliminates:
• hidden intermediary fees
• fragmented transaction trails
• delayed compliance checks
• manual reconciliation bottlenecks; and
• systemic blind spots that allowed illicit flows to hide for decades.

For the first time in modern history, global finance is(allegedly)  fully transparent, verifiable, and instantaneous.

3. Regulatory Clarity & Asset Classification Clear legal frameworks for digital commodities have drawn a permanent line between speculative assets and true infrastructure rails. Utility-driven tokens like XRP, XLM, ALGO, and HBAR are now (allegedly) legally recognized as foundational settlement layers, giving institutional capital the green light to deploy at scale.

4. Institutional Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) Trillions of dollars in physical assets—commercial real estate, sovereign debt, private equity, and commodities—are (allegedly) actively migrating onto distributed ledgers. This unlocks:
• instant fractional liquidity
• eliminated counterparty risks
• automated smart-contract compliance; and
• 24/7 global market access.

Money is moving to ledgers because physics and math are simply superior to bureaucracy.

5. Decentralized Trade and Sovereign Independence Nations are(allegedly)  bypassing legacy gatekeepers (like the IMF, World Bank, and centralized clearinghouses) to trade directly using multi-currency digital ledgers. Power is (allegedly) shifting away from unelected cartels and back toward sovereign states, transparent markets, and empowered individuals.

THE TRANSITION IS ACCELERATING! The old world is clinging to manual controls, but the structural momentum of the new financial era is unstoppable.

Jeff  They can't work on any of the old long-awaited stuff because they're done.  They've gone as far as they can go right now...HCL, Article 140, pseudo '26 budget, the '27 budget, everything in Iraq is clearly waiting for the rate to change before they can move forward.

Militia Man  The two pocket picture.  Think of Iraq's money as two pockets.  Pocket one is dollars from oil.  Pocket two is dinar used to pay salaries.  The exchange rate is the door between those two pockets.  The CBI sets what $1.00 is worth in dinar.  If they print more dinars, [dinar] pocket two get bigger on paper [but each dinar is worth less dollars].  The door does not change...A rate adjustment changes the door.  If the dinar is reset stronger, each oil dollar that comes in and creates more dinars [maintaining the value]...A new rate only works if both pockets are being fixed at the same time...

Frank26   Every day since the 11th of last month it's just been amazing...The GOI made an announcement.  Article quote: "Removing the zeros from the currency may begin early next year." ...In my very strong opinion this is not a leak.  My teams are telling me this is being done on purpose...The next 4 months is going to reveal everything about January 1st...They can give you the lower notes and lift the 3-zeros before January 1st...This is preparing you for what is about to happen.

How Close Is The Dinar Revaluation ?

How Close Is The Dinar Revaluation ?

The Dinar Den: 8-30-2026

The journey of following the Iraqi dinar (IQD) has tested the patience of investors worldwide for nearly two decades. Recently, a compelling discussion between two seasoned market participants with over 16 years of individual experience shed light on the latest developments surrounding the currency’s potential revaluation and redenomination.

This in-depth conversation offers a much-needed analytical breakdown of the conflicting reports circulating in the financial community, providing a clearer picture of where the process currently stands.

At the heart of the dialogue is the complex puzzle of deleting zeros from the local currency, alongside concurrent political stability efforts and vital domestic financial reforms. The speakers carefully dissect how these moving parts must align to achieve meaningful economic transformation.

 A major focal point of the conversation is the heavy oversight provided by global financial institutions and international partners, which play an indispensable role in ensuring that Iraq successfully meets the stringent criteria required for a successful monetary shift.

Furthermore, the discussion highlights the strategic influence of key financial figures, specifically pointing to U.S. Treasury Secretary and currency specialist Scott Bessent.

His expertise and involvement are viewed as critical components in guiding Iraq’s currency policy, ultimately aiming for the nation’s seamless reintegration into the global financial architecture. Understanding these high-level diplomatic and economic maneuvers helps demystify why the process has taken so long and what milestones still need to be achieved.

Beyond macroeconomics, the conversation addresses the practical and psychological aspects that every long-term participant faces. The speakers touch upon projected exchange rate ranges, the identification of funding sources necessary to back the redenomination, and the undeniable emotional toll of waiting through years of delays and false starts.

Despite the opacity and complexity that often shroud these financial updates, both investors express a grounded, cautious optimism. They suggest that the conclusion of this lengthy journey may finally be approaching within the coming months, while encouraging patience and steadfast confidence among those who have followed the story for years.

Ariel: Venezuela Lopped 14 Zeroes off its Currency

Ariel: Venezuela Lopped 14 Zeroes off its Currency

8-31-2026

Hypothetically Speaking:

Venezuela has lopped 14 zeroes off its currency since 2008. The “Soberano” series itself was redenominated into the “Digital” Bolivar in 2021 at a 1:1,000,000 ratio.

Venezuela pegs VES to XRP/XLM/ADA infrastructure and backs it with oil+gold reserves at a fixed rate. Ex-Reval- triggers globally — $300 (VES-Digitales Soberano) million on 1B notes at 30 cents is your number.

Gold Is A Tier 1 Assets

So I would personally be shocked if that doesn’t end up being the case.

Right now VES trades around 0.00126 USD — roughly 1/238th of a cent. A jump to 30 cents is a ~23,716x increase from current rates.

That’s not a revaluation — that’s a peg reset, the kind of move that only happens when a nation backs its currency with hard assets (gold, oil reserves, tokenized commodities on ledger). Sounds like what Iraq is doing.

Kurdistan 24 English:  U.S. President Donald Trump says Washington has reached what he calls the "biggest oil deal in world history" with Venezuela, covering more than 65 billion barrels of proven reserves. President Trump says the agreement gives the U.S. majority control through a private-sector partnership and could eventually lower American gasoline prices. Venezuela says the projects could attract about $100 billion in investment. Read more:
