Clare: Federation of Chambers of Commerce: The electronic tax platform has become inevitable
12/30/2023
The Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce confirmed today, Saturday, that adopting the electronic platform for paying taxes has become inevitable as part of government steps it described as “positive” to attract major merchants, companies and international brands to work in Iraq.
The president of the federation, Abdul Razzaq Al-Zuhairi, told the official media and its follow-up, Al-Ghad Press, that “access to the electronic platform for paying taxes has become inevitable and will be implemented within the time frame set by the General Tax Authority, but there is a major problem represented by small merchants who now represent the majority, as they are forced to go to the parallel market.
He added, "There has been an old fear for decades between the merchant and the government , " noting that "a positive tax system has been launched, but we need to restore trust between the merchant and the government ."
He pointed out that "the majority of the Iraqi market is made up of small merchants, due to the circumstances that Iraq went through," stressing that "the equation will change during the coming period, and large international companies and labels and large merchants will enter the Iraqi market, while small merchants will be shoppers ."
Al-Zuhairi continued, "Taxes created a kind of gap and problems for many Iraqis, including the loss of files, the similarity of names, taking deposits without refunding them, calculating the tax twice, and other problems ."
He explained that "the recent decision of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will change many of these problems, but the implementation needs to be strict , " pointing out that "Iraq deals with white money with countries of the world, so the issue of the electronic platform is positive, and it is a global step ."
Earlier, the General Authority for Taxes announced the adoption of electronic payment in a binding manner in the payment of taxes, starting from January 1 of the new year 2024, and the start of implementing the self-assessment system for the first time in Iraq. LINK

Frank26 This is not an RV like a lot of silly people say. This is a reinstatement. It's about the numbers of the reinstatement. They are talking about the fils...It's blowing my mind all the things they're telling you...We have landed on the shore of monetary reform. IMO because they are telling you so much in such a concentrated amount of time it's because they are in a hurry as January the 1st approaches us...
Mnt Goat ...we can see what is slowly happening is that Iraq is moving back to a normalcy of their financial system an international normalcy. It takes much more than just putting in place the banking reforms, the means and the mechanisms to do it as we have witnessed over the past years. But now they are actually doing it. It may be slow but remember they are still under the strong arm of the US Treasury on this matter too and are working very closely with them at their pace. In many ways this is good as we want the US to support this process when it comes time to give the “green light”. This is why so many visits by the US Treasury to Iraq.

What Is a Black Swan Event?
A black swan event is an extremely rare and unpredictable occurrence that has significant and widespread consequences.
It is characterized by being an unexpected outlier, having a high impact, and then being “rationally” explained after the fact.
The term originated from the belief that all swans were white until the discovery of a black swan in 17th century England.

What Is a Black Swan Event?
A black swan event is an extremely rare and unpredictable occurrence that has significant and widespread consequences.
It is characterized by being an unexpected outlier, having a high impact, and then being “rationally” explained after the fact.
The term originated from the belief that all swans were white until the discovery of a black swan in 17th century England.
Examples of black swan events include the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These events are difficult to predict and often have a profound effect on various aspects of society, such as politics, business, and financial markets.
While black swan events are typically associated with negative outcomes, they can also have positive effects, like the rapid rise of the internet.
Black Swan #1: Expiration of BTFP (emergency bank liquidity program) March 12th 2024
The expiration of the Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) by the Federal Reserve on March 12th, 2024 holds significant potential as a strategic “Black Swan” event.
The decision to let the BTFP expire, despite ongoing bank reliance, is considered surprising and could lead to a major banking crisis.
Consequences include a decline in bank loans, impacting economic activity and reducing persistent inflation. Big banks stand to benefit by acquiring distressed banks, consolidating the financial landscape.
The strategic motive behind this potential Black Swan event is suggested to be the implementation of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
The relationship between big banks and the Federal Reserve is a financial country club, and a planned banking crisis would create ideal conditions for quick CBDC legislation, small/medium bank consolidation, and the elimination of regional bank competition.

By connecting the dots of a chain of events the potential for a major Banking Black Swan Event comes into view.
Black Swan #2: The Bitcoin Halving March/April 2024
The 2024 Bitcoin Halving is a potentially significant “Black Swan” event in the context of its impact on the Bitcoin network and its implications for the global fiat financial system.
Occurring approximately every four years, the halving is emphasized for its role in preventing inflation and maintaining the scarcity of bitcoins. Unlike fiat currencies which are significantly susceptible to manipulation through unlimited printing, the halving model ensures a controlled supply.
The reduction in block rewards during halving events leads to a predictable and diminishing inflation rate, safeguarding against the erosion of purchasing power seen with traditional fiat currencies.
The article below highlights the unique market-driven mechanism of Bitcoin’s price influenced by scarcity, in contrast to fiat currencies affected by external factors.
Historical data from previous halvings in 2012, 2016, and 2020 illustrate the event’s impact on Bitcoin’s supply, inflation rate, and price dynamics.
The upcoming 2024 Bitcoin Halving is anticipated to continue this trend, with varied expert predictions for its potential impact on Bitcoin’s price, emphasizing the event’s significance in the cryptocurrency world.
Understanding Bitcoin Halving is portrayed as crucial for those interested in cryptocurrencies and their potential influence on the global financial landscape.

Tishwash: Chambers of Commerce: Positive government steps that will attract major merchants and international companies
Today, Saturday, the Federation of Iraqi Chambers of Commerce confirmed the existence of positive government steps that will attract major international merchants, companies, and labels. While it identified the most prominent tax problems, it pointed out that “merchants’ lack of confidence” is the most important obstacle to tax reform.
The president of the federation, Abdul Razzaq Al-Zuhairi, said, “Entering the electronic platform to pay taxes has become inevitable and will be implemented within the time frame set by the General Tax Authority, but there is a major problem represented by small merchants who now represent the majority, as they are forced to go to the parallel market,” noting that “There has been an old fear for decades between the merchant and the government.”

He stressed that "the recent decision of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will change many of those problems mentioned above, but implementation needs to be strict."
He pointed out that "Iraq deals with white money with countries around the world, so the issue of the electronic platform is positive, and it is a global step."
The General Authority for Taxes announced earlier the adoption of electronic payment in a binding manner for the payment of taxes, starting from January 1 of the new year 2024, while confirming the start of implementing the self-assessment system for the first time in Iraq.
The Director of the Authority, Ali Waad, confirmed earlier that the General Tax Authority seeks to obtain proper and legal approvals for the recommendations that were presented by us during the tax reform conference held on the sixth day of this month.
He pointed out that among the most important recommendations for tax reform are:
First: stabilizing property and land values, which will reduce human intervention and reduce opportunities for corruption, which will help in implementing the comprehensive electronic system.
Second: The Authority seeks to encourage local companies to pay all taxes due related to these companies by amortizing the fines and interest they owe, provided that they pay the original tax due.
Third: The Authority is seeking to submit a proposal to amortize 50% of the fines and interest imposed on foreign companies, especially oil companies, on the condition that the original taxes due are paid as an important basic step, to follow the problem-free policy.
Fourth: The Authority seeks to solve the problem of similarity of names, this major problem that exists in the General Authority for Taxes, and it is an existing and previous problem, by canceling all the double names that were previously provided to the General Authority for Taxes, and returning them to the official authorities to complete them and adding the triple name or the first name. Mother, wife, or date of birth.
As for the common triple names, including the name (Ali Hussein Ali), which is a very common name and greatly obstructs tax accounting operations, especially for taxpayers in Baghdad and the governorates, so the Authority proposes to return these names to the authorities that sent them to the Authority, to provide them with full information.
Fifth: The Authority is working to complete the stages of networking between the Authority’s center and the rest of the state institutions, including ministries, agencies and general directorates, and to link them electronically, by creating electronic interfaces (WebCite) to provide electronic services, especially to taxpayers.
Sixth: The Authority seeks to cooperate with state departments to electronically connect and adopt the (barcode) system between the Authority and other government departments, as it has been applied in several departments, including all traffic directorates in Baghdad and the governorates, as well as in the company registrars’ department and in the real estate registration departments between the governorates and Baghdad.
Seventh: The authority’s management seeks geographical expansion by opening new branches to reduce the momentum occurring in some branches in the governorates, as well as increasing the tax base, in addition to increasing the number of taxpayers, and simplifying procedures for citizens, as the authority obtained the approval of the Minister of Finance, Taif Sami, to open two branches in each. From the governorates of Basra and Diwaniyah, and one branch in each of the holy governorates of Karbala and Anbar.
Eighth: The Authority is seriously seeking to implement an electronic system, which will contribute significantly to speeding up transactions, reducing cases of corruption, and increasing state resources link

Fri. 29 Dec. Judy T: “Went to a major bank today in Fresno CA. I asked the teller if they were operating on the new Quantum Financial System. She replied that they had been for a while now. Then I asked her if she had seen the new US Notes. With a smile she whispered “Oh yes. They are in the vault.”
Source: A banker contact was training a number of Wells Fargo bankers on the procedures that they have to follow in order to do exchanges. He said that everyone that goes through an exchange process will be getting some type of a new Credit Card/Debit Card that hooks into the QFS system. At your exchange you will get at least one or two percent of whatever you’re going to exchange immediately put on that card. They will open a new account for you, or possibly multiple accounts. If you have more than one currency and wish to open an account for each currency, they will do all that at your exchange meeting. Then it will be 10 to 20 days after that funding will actually appear in your new accounts. I think he said it was a $10,000 dollar debit card to leave the exchange process with so you have funding at least up to 10 grand to do certain things you may need to do.
Tues. 26 Dec. Wolverine: “I have word now that the appointments have started. Things are (allegedly) happening.”
Five days after RV begins the public will (allegedly) have access to Med Beds. Treatments are free, with children having critical medical conditions going first.
The Federal US Dollar will (allegedly) no longer be used after Feb. 20 2024.
A new financial era will be ushered in with the introduction of the USN US Note, a gold-backed currency symbolizing not just economic stability, but freedom from the longstanding financial systems that have bound us. This change is monumental, representing a shift from the old guard to a new, equitable financial paradigm.
It’s crucial to stay informed, prepared, and open to the profound changes that lie ahead. The future is not just coming; it’s here, and it’s redefining everything we’ve ever known.

Shortly after the UST signed off on their part they met with the IMF...On the IMF report is this, they approved the pass through from the exchange rate revaluation. In other words they approved for them to go international and allowed them to let it go and the markets will determine what the exchange rate is...We're looking really really good.

The UN is having what they called...the fast track...Nobody's going to take the Iraqi dinar seriously at 1310...The UN assembly...talked about how Iraq's going to be a savior for the global financial system.

It began 150 years ago, back in 1873, when the dollar became an exclusively gold currency, and all the purchasing power of silver was transferred into gold, enriching the rich at the expense of the middle class and the poor.
2024 could be the year that this all turns around in dramatic fashion, and to be part of it, you'll need to own some silver.

Many people hold currencies the RBI will be moving through their system under their new digital asset-based trading payment system called the UPI.
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) will be involved with moving the Iraqi Dinar, Indonesian Rupiah, Vietnamese Dong, US Dollar, Indian Rupee, and other currencies. These currencies used to utilize the US Dollar in trade, and now, they are beginning to use their own local currencies. Each will be given a watchful set of eyes to make sure foreign currency exchanges begin the process of new money flow efficiently and safely on a Global scale.

On the 1st day of notification ALL the traders in COMEX Silver combined only stood for 28 Contracts on the first delivery day in January 2024!
That's like it's not even relevant but WHY is an exchange that SETS the global price for silver NOT EVEN DELIVERING PHYSICAL SILVER?
Is it because THEY ARE OUT of available Physical Silver?!
Time will tell but You know where you should be positioned in 2024...VERY LONG PHYSICAL SILVER!

Tishwash: Iraqi PM Says Baghdad Is ‘Heading Towards’ Ending the US Military Presence in the Country
Mohammed al-Sudani and his government are unhappy with the US for launching airstrikes in Iraq
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said his government is “heading towards” ending the presence of international forces in Iraq, which includes about 2,500 US troops, the largest foreign contingent.
Al-Sudani’s comments came after his government strongly condemned several rounds of US airstrikes in Iraq as a violation of sovereignty and a hostile act. In the latest strikes, the US said it targeted the Shia militia Kataib Hezbollah in retaliation for an attack on a US base, but al-Sudani’s government said civilians were also wounded in the US bombing.
“We are in the process of rearranging the relationship with the international coalition, as in light of the presence of capable Iraqi forces, the Iraqi government is moving towards ending the presence of the international coalition forces,” al-Sudani said at a press conference with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
Spain has 300 troops stationed in Iraq as part of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition. “My country, always at the request of the Iraqi authorities, will support the unity, sovereignty and stability of Iraq,” Sanchez said at the press conference.
Al-Sudani first came into office at the end of 2022 and made his first public comments on US troops in Iraq in 2023, when he expressed support for the presence of foreign forces. But he’s been under increasing pressure to get them out, especially now as Iraq has become a battleground between Shia militias and the US due to President BIden’s full-throated support for Israel’s Gaza onslaught.
The US has been resisting Iraqi efforts to expel its forces from the country since 2020 when a US drone strike in Baghdad killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. In the wake of the killings, Iraq’s parliament voted to expel foreign forces, but the US refused to leave. The US formally changed its presence in Iraq from a combat role to an advisory one in December 2021, but it did not withdraw any troops at the time.
If al-Sudani tries to expel foreign forces from his country, Washington could make things difficult for him. The US has leverage over Iraq because, since the 2003 invasion, the country’s foreign reserves have been held by the US Federal Reserve, giving Washington control over Baghdad’s dollar supply and the ability to devalue the Iraqi dinar. The US also keeps tight control over Iraq’s ability to pay its neighbor Iran for much-needed electricity . link

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Financial expert on TV saying there will be changes to the value to the Iraqi dinar after the new year. FRANK: The CBI, without any fear, without pulling any punches back, they flat out tell you the beginning for next year your currency will have value added to it. Of course, because you won't be able to use any other currency in your country. Therefore the sanctioned, punished program, used toilet paper rate of your 3-zero notes is going away...You are about to be a powerful linchpin in the financial theater of this world. Iraq is about to change as quickly as darkness turns into light. Get ready, you are about to walk with elegance and grace once again.

Coffee with MarkZ and Mr. Cottrell. 12/29/2023
Member: Good Morning all, wishing all a great Holiday weekend & Happy New Year.
Member: Another 3 day weekend window of opportunity approaching
Member: Another year of waiting bites the dust.
MZ: Well there is plenty of expectation for this weekend.
Member: What are your thoughts of what things could look like on Jan 1st?
Member: Do you think Jan 1 is the day?? Would RV and Nesara go at the same time??
MZ: We expect RV and Nesara/Gesara to go at the same time….but Nesara /Gesara may take longer to execute. But things are highly possible by the first.
MZ: Big expectations for bond folks and bank folks for the next 3 days.
MZ: Nader knocked it out of the park this morning with a great article. “the dollar will continue to decline against the dinar until next week.” Be sure to go listen and like and share….They are calling on the end of dependence of the dollar in the next 3 days. Huge expectations out there.
MZ: “ High Street banks in the UK to close in 2024” The banking system is indeed in the middle of an historic shift.
MZ: “BRICS: China and Russia completely ditch the US dollar for trade.” And “BRICS to grow as Saudi, Iran, UAE, Egypt and Ethiopia join ranks” BRICS has already surpassed the G& and as it grows it will surpass the G20 in GDP.
MZ:” Eastern alliance and BRICS : Russia and India are strengthening ties in the midst of tensions with the west” India is drifting toward the Eastern alliance and away from the west.
MZ: And Iraq is stepping away from US domination in the banking system. Most of the world thinks the US is in a decline.
Member: Will it be the military that contacts Mr. C?
MZ: It is my understanding is it will be a military rep . A rep from the US treasury and a rep from the Chinese banking families that will meet with him
Member: I wonder if the St Germaine trust window has closed now? And the next time it opens will be Apri at Easter?
Member: What are farm claims?
MZ: Basically lawsuits where farmers got screwed many years ago. Many were after the great depression. There are a long string of different farm claims. A lot of historic wrongs they are trying to fix with these settlements. There are also payouts for Indian nations and indigenous people as well.
MZ: We are actually starting to see what appears to be payouts tobe indigenous people in Canada …still working through specifics to share with you all on that. Also payouts in S. Africa on the farmers side and also indigenous people in Australia.
MZ: Things appear to be moving and shaking.
Member: Do we need to be gold backed for the RV to go?
Member: I think we are already gold backed! Look at your $100 bills! Notice the gold on them. Even the $20 and lower denominations have gold on them.
Member: What do you think the dong rate will be?
MZ: I am still looking at $2 or $2.25…but my bank contacts think this is low. They think it may be as high as the $3+ range.
Member: Roll credits of this way too long movie!
Member: The amount of logistics needed for this blessing is astronomical when you really think about it. Our world is about to change for the better.
Member: Praying that all Patriots have a blessed, healthy and prosperous 2024!!

Global Financial Collapse:
Wed. 27 Dec. Iran and Russia finalize the deal to trade in local currencies, ditching the fiat US Dollar.
“There’s a plan being put into place to engineer a collapse of the financial system, chaos in politics, and then use that as an excuse to takeover, and declare an authoritarian system. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are a big part of that…we have to fight that.”… John Rubino of Rubino.substack.com
“We have 42 out of 50 States in the United States that now recognize good and silver as money…” -Goldilocks
“We ought not to tax money – and that’s a good idea. It makes no sense to tax money,” former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said during testimony in support of an Arizona bill that repealed capital gains taxes on gold and silver in that state. Paper is not money, it’s fraud.” https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2017/03/ron-paul-testimony-in-support-of-arizona-sound-money-bill-hb2014/
Tax repeals knock down one of the tax barriers that hinder the use of gold and silver as money, and could also begin the process of abolishing the Federal Reserve’s fiat money system by attacking it from the bottom up – pulling the rug out from under it by working to make its functions irrelevant at the state and local levels, and setting the stage to undermine the Federal Reserve monopoly by introducing competition into the monetary system.” https://oilprice.com/Metals/Gold/US-States-Make-Bold-Move-to-Reclassify-Gold-and-Silver.html

Walkingstick Remember Iraq is still under the umbrella of the IMF. They may not be under sanctions but they are under the umbrella/protection of the IMF. These were the meetings that were taking place in New York, then Dubai and then in Baghdad. Remember the two things the IMF said - The Iraqi dinar is adding value and they are very undervalued with their exchange rate.
Sandy Ingram Why are we seeing reports of a meeting with the IMF in Jordan and a meeting with the Department of the Treasury and the US Federal Reserve in Dubai? ...The meeting with the IMF had to do with the IMF staff team helping the Iraqi authorities reform the banking system...This meeting more than any other tells us Iraq may be preparing to join the global financial network, aka Forex Market...Here's the bottom line. Iraq has never really been on the Forex market. These reports IMPLY Iraq is headed in the direction of international currency inclusion while using its own currency for transactions within th country beginning January 1, 2024

Spot bitcoin ETF approval may be coming in January, experts say.
Investors await approval for the first U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, which would be a milestone for cryptocurrency investors.

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value, often pegged to a 1:1 relationship with a fiat currency. As a result, absent a depegging, stablecoins do not demonstrate the volatility that is associated with other cryptocurrencies.
Because of their stability, stablecoins form a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance capabilities by making it easier for businesses and individuals to conduct transactions and make investments.
S&P Global Ratings Stablecoin Stability Assessment is designed to provide market stakeholders with transparency into the stability of various stablecoins and specific insight into their depegging risks.

"The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued a new accounting standard to improve the accounting for and disclosure of certain crypto assets."
This new standard will give companies the ability to fairly account for the cryptos they hold.
These particular cryptos have been tested on the market to determine fair market values that will enable standard protocols in their net worth and use.
These news standards will provide guidelines to enable companies to assess and report the real values of the cryptos they hold.
Early adoption is encouraged at the beginning of the new fiscal year and mandatory adoption is expected on December the 15th 2024.
