Fnu Lnu They do not have a massive amount of Dinar with which to deal. Small incremental increases of value over time will guarantee failure and all the many billions of dollars spent, and man-hours wasted will for naught. It is more likely they will come out high on the exchange rate and let it fall until it finds equilibrium instead of creeping upwards in 2% measures every 90 days over decades. Meanwhile everyone loses faith in the GOI, riots, and starves to death. Small increments over time makes absolutely no sense and is illogical

When Publius Licinus Valerianus (known as Valerian) became Roman emperor in September of 253 AD, people across the empire must have breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally,” many Roman citizens probably thought, “There’s an adult in the room.”
The Roman Empire at that point was in the midst of its infamous ‘Crisis of the Third Century’. The Empire was recovering from a nasty pandemic known as the Antonine Plague. Inflation was soaring. Conflict with their enemies-- especially in the Middle East-- was intensifying. Social tensions were growing. Crime was rising. Trade was declining. The economy was on the ropes. Taxes were going up.

When Publius Licinus Valerianus (known as Valerian) became Roman emperor in September of 253 AD, people across the empire must have breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally,” many Roman citizens probably thought, “There’s an adult in the room.”
The Roman Empire at that point was in the midst of its infamous ‘Crisis of the Third Century’. The Empire was recovering from a nasty pandemic known as the Antonine Plague. Inflation was soaring. Conflict with their enemies-- especially in the Middle East-- was intensifying. Social tensions were growing. Crime was rising. Trade was declining. The economy was on the ropes. Taxes were going up.
And there had been far too many years of political instability in the Empire prior to Valerian’s ascension.
But Valerian was a guy with decades of experience. He was a longtime Senator, plus he had previously held one of the top positions in Rome’s executive branch. So, people naturally thought he would be the solid leader that Rome needed.
Unfortunately, Valerian turned out to be a complete disaster.
Valerian continued bankrupting the Roman treasury and running sky-high deficits. He zealously demanded ideological conformity and persecuted anyone (most notably Christians) who expressed philosophical or intellectual dissent.
He promoted his son-- a moronic, free-spending playboy-- to a position of high power.
And perhaps most importantly, Valerian was completely incompetent when it came to Rome’s border, and the empire became overrun by barbarians during his rule.
By 260 AD, after seven years of Valerian’s destructive reign, Romans were fed up… especially those who lived near the border.
Fortunately, the emperor traveled East to personally supervise Rome’s war against Persia (modern day Iran), a rising power that had grown more belligerent.
So, with Valerian distracted in Iran, a Roman military officer who was in command of the empire’s key border on the Rhine River decided to take matters into his own hands.
The commander’s name was Postumus. And in 260, he fought back against the barbarian invaders who had been coming across the border for years. In fact Postumus delivered such a decisive blow that the barbarians wouldn’t dare try crossing the Rhine for another ten years.
Finally, someone had taken real action against the migrant threat after years of the Emperor doing nothing. Citizens in the border provinces (modern day France and western Germany) were thrilled.
So thrilled, in fact, that they declared independence from Rome and made Postumus their leader.
Valerian was powerless to stop it. Literally. At that point he had been captured by the Persians and spent the rest of his life in captivity. True story.
***************************
Obviously, this historical tale probably rings familiar to many readers. Not that we wish for Joe Biden to end up in an Iranian prison like Valerian did. But clearly the guy has a lot to answer for.
Yesterday Iran attacked a US military installation in Jordan, killing three and wounding dozens more American service members. And it’s not a one-time thing. Iran has attacked US military targets over 150 times in the past few months alone.
But the guy with decades of experience has hardly done a thing in response. The fact is that no one on the planet is intimidated by Joe Biden, who is rightfully perceived as a weak, inspired idiot with unimaginably bizarre priorities.
America’s border catastrophe is a perfect example; it’s clear the federal government isn’t doing its job to keep illegals out.
It’s also clear that the surge in migrants at the southern border has caused, at a minimum, massive financial strain in many US cities.
The federal government knows there’s a problem. Yet they do nothing about it. And they waste resources to try to prevent the State of Texas from doing anything about it.
Again-- unimaginably bizarre priorities.
It’s not just the US, either. The United Kingdom has been overrun by hundreds of thousands of pro-Palestine supporters, many of whom chant for “Jihad” and “Hamas” and advocate for Sharia law in the UK.
But the government’s priority seems to be making sure the ‘mostly peaceful’ Islamists aren’t offended by angry Brits who are shocked at what their country has become.
In Canada, police in Quebec have advised residents to NOT post camera footage of thieves stealing packages from their front porches… because we have to respect the criminals’ privacy.
Another city in Ontario allowed a 50-year-old man (who identifies as a 15-year old girl) to compete in a girl’s swim meet, with concerned parents shielding their daughters in the locker room.
These developments aren’t accidents. They don’t just spontaneously occur.
They are the deliberate result of the inspired idiots in charge who think their nation’s priority should be criminals’ privacy. Or the well-being of illegal migrants. Or 50-year men who think they’re teenage girls. Or not offending angry Islamists.
*****************************
YOU are NOT their priority. And you never will be.
They view you as nothing more than a financial dairy cow to be milked in order to pay for their idiotic ideas. And if you question them, you get labeled as “anti-science” or “xenophobic” or some such nonsense.
I spend a lot of time writing about the economic consequences of this ‘Rule by Inspired Idiots’ (which is the dominant political system in the West, whether it’s Joe Biden or Justin Trudeau).
And the economic consequences are-a-plenty.
In the US alone, the BASELINE government forecast over the next 10-years is an additional $20 trillion in NEW debt; and I’ve written that this will likely lead to major inflation, loss of reserve status for the dollar, and other major catastrophes.
But the social consequences of Inspired Idiots are equally great and cannot be ignored.
This is why it’s critical to understand that a Plan B is more than just protecting one’s savings and investments.
It’s about taking completely rational steps to reduce social and safety risks as well.
I’m not a pessimistic person. Quite the contrary, I’m wildly optimistic about the future and opportunities to come.
But I also recognize that Rule by Inspired Idiots presents vast and growing social risks that could become much worse over the next several years.
We’ll talk about some ideas for how to get started soon.

"Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury is using powerful tools to protect the Iraqi and international financial system from abuse by terrorist financiers, fraudsters, and money launderers."
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is currently involved with Iraq to make their electronic transactions safe and secure in order that the international banking system will develop a level of trust once again.
With the help of artificial intelligence, the US is currently capable of targeting people and institutions who are abusing the financial system in Iraq. The ability to sanction specific people and targets of interest through artificial intelligence takes us to a much different place than before in our ability to create a safe environment for exchanges in Iraq and those who trade with them.
These new mechanisms will be used all over the world to create specific tools targeting terrorist transactions going forward. We live in a different world my friends.

The Sound Money Act : R.C. Williams and Julianna Ormond
R.C. Williams and Julianna Ormond: The Fight Between Economic Freedom and Slavery
Palisades Gold Radio: 1-25-2024
Tom welcomes R.C. Williams and Juliana Ormond to the show to discuss the implementation of the Sound Money Act. Deriving authority from Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution, the Act will enable states to mint their own gold and silver currency, thereby reducing dependence on federal fiat money.
To guarantee successful implementation, the precious metals must be declared as legal tender and be functional in transactions, just like debit cards.
Williams and Ormond foresee Florida, Texas, Utah, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, and New Hampshire as the states most likely to accept the Act.
The states' chief financial officers will manage the system, with technological support from tech firms.
The Sound Money Act, backed by precious metals, presents wealth protection and growth opportunities. They caution this new system should complement, not replace, conventional fiat currencies.
This precious metal-backed system has prime potential to inhibit unlawful financial activities and money laundering due to improved transparency and accountability.
Moreover, it provides a check on government towards greater restraint over their fiscal activities.
Successful implementation of the Sound Money Act requires strong legislative backing. In Florida, this backing is accomplished by winning support from key political figures.
Challenges are foreseen, but the procedure is expected to boost state sovereignty and monetary freedom.
The states' rights, as defined by the 9th and 10th Amendments, empower them to independently manage themselves and secure citizens' interests, even when facing federal intervention.
The group anticipates that if a significant number of states adopt gold and silver as legal tender, it could press the Federal Reserve into critical discussions leading to ideological and practical dilemmas.
This could eventually address the debt issue. To help citizens voice their opinions on the matter, the group has initiated the Watchmen Action platform to provide resources required for engaging in research, narrative development, and legislative outreach.
The aim is to rally leaders toward valuable public changes despite facing opposition from those entrenched in the current economic structures

Therefore, the value that any external institution will add to Iraq is the new technology that it can introduce on the basis of providing financial services.
He continued, "Financial services are not limited to technological luxury, but have become one of the basics of financial institutions, to improve their services and digital transformation, to meet customers' needs around the clock."
He pointed out that "the Bank of Jordan seeks, through its presence in Iraq, to meet the needs of its customers, whether Iraqis or Jordanians, by exploiting its network and electronic systems in the region of the Arab countries in which it is located."
He stated, “The Bank of Jordan is present in many Arab countries, including Iraq, Palestine, Bahrain, and Syria, and now we are in the process of opening a branch in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we see that there is integration and trade exchange between these countries in an electronic system, where the customer or investor can view... This system and the exchange of his money very easily,” stressing that “there are continuous efforts to improve the system existing at the Bank of Jordan.”
Hammad stressed that "the Bank of Jordan can implement the electronic system in Iraq."
He pointed out that "there is joint cooperation with the Iraqi banking sector and the Governor of the Central Bank, and previous conferences were held between the Jordanian banking sector and the Iraqi banking sector, in order to improve the infrastructure and electronic services in Iraq."
He continued: "There were great joint efforts to provide support through existing expertise in Jordan, such as (Kalak) services, paying electronic bills, providing all requirements, and other services."
He pointed out that "the Central Bank of Iraq is making great efforts to develop the banking sector in Iraq, as it has taken a serious and strong approach to modify the system, and I believe that they are moving at a very good speed to shorten the time gap, to reach the ranks of developed countries with these services."
He believes that “one of the large, promising markets is the trade exchange between Iraq and Jordan, due to the geographical proximity between the two countries, so shipping and transportation operations are very easy, and this is what we seek in economic integration, which could generate a nucleus for investments that can compete in the Arab region.” link

CandyKisses: Red Sea crisis delays supplies 10-15 days in Barcelona port
Economy News Follow
The head of the port of Barcelona said on Monday that the arrival of ships is delayed for between ten and 15 days in the Spanish port because they have to circumvent Africa to avoid possible attacks in the Red Sea.
He told reporters that the delay was affecting ships carrying all kinds of goods and cargo, including liquefied natural gas.
Barcelona is one of Spain's largest ports with terminals handling LNG cargoes.
Since December, shipping companies have diverted hundreds of ships to the Cape of Good Hope route around Africa to avoid Houthi attacks. The journey around Africa takes ten to 14 days longer and is more expensive compared to passing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
The attacks target a corridor that handles about 15 percent of global shipping traffic as a vital channel between Europe and Asia.

Nader From The Mid East Algeria is big and has a lot of assets but they have a lot less than Iraq and their dinar is stronger than Iraqi dinars. If you look a the Tunisian dinars, Tunisia has nothing...and their dinars are 3 to 1 - Three dinars to $1. My point is these people has nothing. They're coming out a revolution. They is a mess. It's completely a mess. They lost a lot. The private sector is a mess and it's [their dinar] is still strong. Iraq, this rate is still a punishment rate...They have to revalue. If they revalue they're going to revalue 1 to 1.
Frank26 They are removing the dollar. It's only used in 3 different ways. The government of Iraq will use the dollar as they see fit. The Iraq citizens if they want to buy medicine can go to a bank and receive American dollars for their dinars...The last way the Iraqi dinar will be used is Iraqi citizens can go to a bank...and take dollars out if they prove they are traveling abroad and need the dollar...The dollar is being ignored/pushed aside...All the things the Iraqi dinar has been punished for 20 years, now the dollar will have the same symptoms...Whereas the dinar will gain security and stability because everybody will be using it.

CandyKisses: Court ruling to liquidate "Evergrande", China's largest real estate company
Economy News Follow
A Hong Kong court on Monday ordered the liquidation of China's Evergrande Group, China's largest developer, over its high indebtedness, dealing a blow to investor confidence in the Chinese economy.
This came in a statement issued today by the city's Supreme Court, after the Chinese real estate giant and its external creditors failed to agree on how to restructure the company's massive debt and financial obligations of $ 333 billion.
The statement quoted Judge Linda Chan in the ruling: "It seems to me that the interests of the creditors will be better protected if the court liquidates the company, so that the independent liquidators can take control of the company."

Today, the Chinese stock market faced volatility in its indices due to the court decision, while the market lost about $ 6 trillion in the market value of listed companies, since its peak in February 2021.
Chinese developers face outstanding liabilities of $100 billion this year, and the financing arms of local governments also have $650 billion in outstanding debt, according to official data.

Tishwash: Military(Iraqi) expert: America will not leave Iraq without a long-term security agreement
Military expert Sarmad Al-Bayati confirmed the impossibility of the withdrawal of American forces without concluding a strategic security agreement with Iraq, noting that the Iraqi airspace is exposed and America can never leave it without sovereignty.
The Iraqi military expert, Sarmad Al-Bayati, said in a statement followed by Mawazine News: “There is a big difference in the statements between Iraq and the United States, and some may be confused about what is happening, despite what was announced about the formation of an American-Iraqi military committee to sit with the international coalition.” ".
Al-Bayati added: “But those sitting on the Iraqi side in this committee are figures who have nothing to do with the issue of the withdrawal of coalition forces, including the Federal Police, whose work is linked to NATO, so they focused in the meeting on assessing the threat of ISIS and operational training, in addition to the most important One point, which is to strengthen Iraqi armed capabilities.”
The military expert stressed that "it is impossible for any withdrawal of international coalition forces to take place if the strengthening of armed capabilities and control of Iraqi airspace is not completed. Therefore, cooperation continues with the coalition, and even if a withdrawal occurs, the American forces will take a long time on this matter."
Al-Bayati stressed, "The American forces will not leave Iraqi airspace uncontrollably, so there will certainly be a strong security agreement between Baghdad, Washington, and the international coalition, and it is not easy to leave Iraq an easy prey for ISIS."
The Iraqi expert explained, "The Americans actually work in Iraqi military bases as advisors, but there are other forces to protect them, and thus their secrets and policies in the region remain with them. It is not easy to know their true number in Iraq, because they do not give their combat position to any party."
Al-Bayati ruled out that there would be any forced exit of the international coalition forces from Iraq, because the matter would have a negative impact on the entire country. Therefore, no forced evacuation of them would occur, but rather after assessing the situation regarding the extent of the threat and danger of ISIS.
American forces returned to Iraq in 2014 as part of the international coalition forces, at the request of the Iraqi government to support them in confronting ISIS, which invaded a large part of the lands in the north and west after the collapse of the Iraqi army units. link

JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Goldman Sachs Drafting Landmark Lawsuit Against Federal Reserve: Report
JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Goldman Sachs Drafting Landmark Lawsuit Against Federal Reserve: Report

A group of America’s biggest banking titans are considering whether they should pull a shocking move – suing the U.S. Federal Reserve.
JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Goldman Sachs are on the list of major banks that, using their trade group, have hired one of the best conservative trial lawyers in the country to draft the lawsuit, reports Semafor.
Eugene Scalia, son of the former Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, is spearheading the legal effort, which would aim to eliminate proposed rules that would force banks to increase the amount of cash they have on hand.
JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Goldman Sachs Drafting Landmark Lawsuit Against Federal Reserve: Report
Daily Hodl Staff
January 28, 2024
A group of America’s biggest banking titans are considering whether they should pull a shocking move – suing the U.S. Federal Reserve.
JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and Goldman Sachs are on the list of major banks that, using their trade group, have hired one of the best conservative trial lawyers in the country to draft the lawsuit, reports Semafor.
Eugene Scalia, son of the former Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, is spearheading the legal effort, which would aim to eliminate proposed rules that would force banks to increase the amount of cash they have on hand.
“[Scalia] is quietly drawing up a lawsuit seeking to block the proposed rules on behalf of the Bank Policy Institute, a trade group that represents JPMorgan, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, and others, people familiar with the matter said.
It would be the first time in recent memory that the industry has sued the Fed, and a departure from standard halls-of-power persuasion efforts that try to avoid antagonizing its chief regulator.
The Fed wants banks to hold an additional 20% in cash on their balance sheets. The move is designed to ensure they have enough capital to withstand concerns about liquidity and avert the types of bank runs that ripped through the banking sector one year ago.
But the banks say the rules are far too strict, citing an internal analysis that shows they would actually be forced to keep 30% in cash on hand.
Scalia says the Fed has plenty of explaining to do.
“As a matter of legal process, it’s not going to be enough to say that a bunch of regulators got together in Switzerland, and this rule is what they brought down from the mountain.
The agencies have to do their own work, explaining why these new requirements are properly calibrated, and why their benefits are worth the costs. This proposal doesn’t do that.”
Banks across the US continue to face significant losses on bonds.
And although banks can simply hold bonds until they mature, they can become an extreme liability when banks need an injection of liquidity.
A recent report from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) found the total number of unrealized securities losses in the banking system is now pegged at $684 billion.
