{Economic: Euphrates News} The former director of Dwan Financial Supervision, Salah Nouri, revealed today, Saturday, Iraq's gold reserves.

Nouri {Euphrat News} said that: "The gold reserve of the Central Bank of Iraq is up to {137.7} tons and comes in fourth place in the Arab world according to the statistics of the World Gold Council based in London."

He pointed out that "we do not have accurate information about the amount of gold reserves in the Central Bank of Iraq, in general, the Central Bank should diversify investments between US government bonds and investment in gold."

On the most prominent things of the US magazine Forbes magazine about the reasons for the rise in gold prices globally, Nouri explained that "the high demand for gold by Chinese investors and your universe is to hedge against economic instability that affects investment in stocks and bonds."

 “There are also concerns about lowers interest rates on investment in U.S. government bonds, which has led to investing in gold as a safe haven,” he added.

Nouri concluded by "the geopolitical reasons for the Russian-Ukrakranian war and the war on the people of Gaza by the Zionist entity are all reasons that pushed the rise in gold prices globally."

Gold prices rose on Friday due to risk absilitance in financial markets.
By 04:29 GMT, gold in spot transactions had risen 0.3% to $2386.05 an ounce after jumping briefly to $2417.59 earlier in the session, hoving near an all-time high of $2431.29 it recorded last Friday.

Militia Man  [Q&A portion of Al-Sudani interview] Question:  "Is the government thinking of revaluing the dinar and readjusting the value of the dinar due to the current circumstances in the market or do you see it to stay the same?"  Al-Sudani's answer:  "This policy is dictated by the central bank and the government abide by what the bank decides.  I believe we are in the best status we could be in and we have actually had an assessment which has given much trust, higher trust at a higher level from different global parties...This is going to raise the level or value of the Iraqi dinar.  There is policy that is consistent policy that the central bank is using..." [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Militia Man  MILITIA MAN:  Deletion of the zeros project, is that what they're talking about?  If you're going to raise the value of the currency you're going to have to do something to it and that's the exchange rate.  You don't just LOP three zeros off a currency and say, 'Snip! Go use this'.  It doesn't work that way.  They have to raise the value...We know their reserves are $110 to $112 billion, they have gold, they have all the new electronic systems, taxes and tariffs...tourism, agriculture, liquid gas, all that stuff added into this is going to benefit them.  Basically what is he saying?  They're going to raise the level of the value of the Iraqi dinar.  That's really powerful...

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sat. 20 April 2024

Compiled Sat. 20 April 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Currency Reset: (Rumors)

Fri. 19 April Wolverine:

Many people have signed NDAs and we do not know if they have spendable money.  If people are being paid, they are being silent.

The Vietnam Dong is going to float.

The Dinar, which is now hours away, actually, is to go up.  It is close now to going on the Forex and in the Gazette.

Colombia will be joining BRICS and they will get their gold backed currency on Tues. 23 April.

China has pardoned all of Zimbabwe’s debts. This is huge news for Zimbabwe. 

My counterparts in Brazil said that yesterday Thurs. 18 April the banks received the payment authorization codes from the central bank of Brazil to release the notices and asked for 24 hours to carry out the logistics of distributing the notices.

The military and G13 will enter tomorrow Sat. 20 April to receive their already unlocked amounts.

Releases for DF operations will be paid on Wed. 24 April, a date set by the institution itself.

MarkZ said big contracts are getting finalized. He has never seen that before.  I also got this confirmed by my Brazilian counterparts. These are Big Contracts. This is happening, it is real.  Just have faith.

Note from Wolverine’s Friend Richard:  “I am involved on both sides, both on the bond sellers and also the bond buyers side as well. I wanted to clarify the importance of the message from MarkZ about final contacts being received by the sellers. Over the past 4 to 5 years, thousands of contracts have been put together, but they have always been just by the sellers. The sellers have never received contracts from the buyers because of the confidentiality. What is happening, now, and as MarkZ said, for the first time, is actually the sellers, who are the owners of the bonds, have now finally received what is called the MOTHER CONTRACTs, which are the contracts from the buyer’s side. This is only being done because it is the start of the payment. So, the MOTHER CONTRACT is the only time that the seller’s contract and the buyer’s contracts are joined together. So that is a very big step. Once that is put together, then the paymasters can be authorized to start the payments. This is a very big step, and this is happening to our clients in many territories including Zurich, Hong Kong, and Brazil. It seems very likely we should be able to cross the finish line by next week. We have top contacts on the buyer’s side who write up for redemptions, and, they have it confirmed that the payments have been starting, following the final contracts. This news is straight from Reno.  Things are definitely starting in Reno.” 

Wolverine: I did receive news from a huge whale in Europe, she has received email from Reno, and has been told that Reno has started the process. By Mon. 22 April a lot of countries will be gold backed.

He also said Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) would receive our emails to set exchange appointments on Sat, Sun or Mon. 20, 21, 22 April, with appointments starting thereafter. Two older menwho worked for the US Treasury under President Reagan said that in their opinion Tier4b would receive their emails to do exchanges on Fri. or Sat. 19, 20 April. A Bank Contact told Bruce that Tier4b would be notified over the weekend, meaning Fri, Sat. or Sun. 19, 20, 21 April. The new Dinar and other currency International Rates of the 32 nations would go public when the Forex reopened at 5 pm EST on Sun. 21 April.

Clare: Vietnam central bank says it’s ready to intervene in forex market; dong now at record low against dollar

4/19/2024

HANOI (Bloomberg): Vietnam’s central bank said officials are prepared to intervene in the foreign-exchange market as the currency fell to a record low.

Intervention is possible "even today, if needed,” State Bank of Vietnam Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu said at a briefing in Hanoi on Friday.

The dong dropped to a record-low 25,463 per dollar on the day.

The escalating conflict in the Middle East and expectations the Federal Reserve may delay interest-rate cuts is supercharging the dollar, and pummeling emerging-market currencies globally. Vietnam joins peers in Asia including South Korea and Indonesia in pushing back against the US currency’s strength.

"SBV will use tools such as intervening, and also raising short-term rates by withdrawing liquidity to make FX hedging costs more expensive,” said Michael Wan, senior currency analyst at MUFG Bank.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - "U.S., Japanese and South Korean finance leaders agreed to consult closely on foreign exchange and market developments in a trilateral meeting on Wednesday, they said in a joint statement issued by the U.S. Treasury Department."

These meetings are becoming more and more frequent. As we get closer to Global regulations on cryptocurrency through MICA, the new digital economy will reset a lot of prices across all sectors of the markets.

Our tokenized assets are as these words imply. These digitized assets are now supported by commodities. Our Stablecoins representing our countries' currencies are backed by gold.

Everything is about to be backed by gold. It is the bridge into the next economy as it has been throughout history when we have crossed over from one economic world to another.

Our ability to adapt to these changes will signify a willingness to live in the New World. It is a mind, body, and soul transformation. Time is getting close. Be ready.  US News

The crypto firm disclosed that the Bitcoin reserves within the world’s crypto exchanges have been depleting at a rapid pace, leaving only nine months of BTC supply left on exchanges."

This new trend is expected to drive the price of Bitcoin up. The more scarce it becomes, the more valuable it will be in the short run.

Bitcoin has been known to drive prices up in the cryptocurrency world. As we shift into a digital economy, there are new cryptocurrencies that will begin new protocols inside this new digital framework.

Their connection to Bitcoin will help raise their value going forward. As new demands are placed on these new digital assets that will move our Global Economy, it will be the demand for them in the future that will begin to place price pressures on their existence based on their use case scenarios.

Our world is clearly in transition, and the more we learn about it the better off we can be in integrating our lives into it.

We are in the process of carving out a path into this new digital asset-based trading system. It will change us in ways many of us did not anticipate.

Staying focused and intentional about your new place in the world will be a vital step and becoming a part of it.   News BTC

CandyKisses:  Minister of Planning of the World Bank: Our government's directions to reduce external borrowing and schedule it

{Economic: Euphrates News} Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning, Muhammad Ali Tamim, met at his residence in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening, a delegation from the World Bank.

According to a statement of the ministry received {Euphrates News} a copy of it that "during the meeting, which was attended by Kazem al-Hasani, adviser to the Prime Minister, and a number of stakeholders, discussed the mechanisms of scheduling Iraq's foreign loans, in cooperation with the World Bank."

Minister Tamim stressed that "the directions of the Iraqi government are to reduce external borrowing, and to have urgent necessities, provided that these loans are directed to the development aspects and financing important strategic projects."

For its part, the World Bank delegation expressed its readiness to provide possible support to the efforts of the Iraqi government in the field of loan scheduling, and joint work to enhance the development areas of loans

Tishwash:  American immunity over Iraqi funds... How did it begin and what does it mean?

On May 22, 2003, former US President George W. Bush issued an executive order to protect the Development Fund for Iraq, in which the proceeds of oil sales were deposited, with the aim of protecting it from any legal prosecution.

After more than two decades, successive US administrations are still renewing this presidential executive order and other orders related to Iraq and aiming to protect its funds.

The current US President, Joe Biden, signed the decree extending the state of national emergency related to the situation in Iraq for another year, which stated: “There are still obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, restoring and maintaining peace and security in the country, and developing political, administrative, and economic institutions in Iraq.” .

The statement added that these obstacles "pose an extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of Iraq and the United States of America as well. Therefore, (Joe Biden) has decided that it is necessary to continue the state of national emergency declared under Executive Order 13303 regarding the stability of Iraq."

What is Executive Order 13303?

The Executive Order is intended to protect the Development Fund for Iraq and certain other properties in which Iraq has an interest.

According to what was stated in the text of the executive order, then US President George W. Bush saw that there was a threat to seize or take other judicial measures against the Development Fund for Iraq and Iraqi oil and petroleum products and the revenues arising from them.

The executive order also stated that this situation “poses an extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and therefore a national emergency has been declared to address this threat.”

The order states that any seizure, judgment, decree or other judicial proceeding against the Development Fund for Iraq or Iraqi oil and petroleum products and the proceeds and obligations relating to their sale or marketing shall be null and void.

The Executive Order prohibits all US citizens and residents of the United States, as well as any entity organized under US laws, from filing lawsuits against Iraqi funds.

According to the US National Emergency Law, failure to renew the executive order within a period of 90 days from the date of the previous renewal means that it will become invalid.

Development Fund for Iraq

The Development Fund for Iraq was established after 2003, and before that, money from Iraqi oil sales was placed in an account managed by the United Nations within what is known as the Oil-for-Food Program.

In the mid-nineties of the last century, the UN Security Council resolution related to oil for food was issued and stipulated the sale of a portion of Iraqi oil in exchange for the purchase of medicines and food during the era of Saddam Hussein’s regime, which suffered international sanctions as a result of its invasion of Kuwait in 1990.

This situation continued until 2003, when a new Security Council resolution was issued under which most of the economic sanctions were abolished, provided that issues related to the invasion of Kuwait were resolved, such as compensation, prisoners, and others.  link

Rod Steele  [via PDK]  Sudani has been in the US since Saturday and he met with Biden for an hour on Monday. Everything is now formally agreed too…Iraq is telling the people it is done and coming. The ABC agencies are saying to look for it between now and the rest of the week. The banks are hoping it will be tonight [Wednesday] or in the morning. I think they are a little bit ahead of the game though.  Logically and realistically I think it will be next week because all the key Iraqi ministers and officers are here in the US. I think they will wait until they are back on Iraqi soil...I hear they are putting up big screen TV’s all over Baghdad and other parts of Iraq for some big announcement when they get back.  We don’t know what that announcement is…but, I can guess.  

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Sudani...is meeting with Iraqi business owners in the United States of America ...They're talking about visits that will bring more stability.  They're saying they are going to return the dinar to its price and how the dollar will drop dramatically and not be used in Iraq.  A lot is being said about the strength of our currency of the dinar and the meeting is over 100 of these companies.

BRICS Ditches US dollar: Who Else have Followed BRICS?

BRICS Ditches US dollar: Who Else have Followed BRICS?

Fastpo:  4-17-2024

Numerous countries are actively examining ways to decrease their dependence on the US dollar for international trade, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "de-dollarization."

This strategic shift is largely motivated by a desire to mitigate the vulnerabilities associated with geopolitical tensions and economic sanctions, thereby bolstering national financial autonomy from the US-dominated global financial system.

 In this video, we will delve into how the BRICS nations are navigating this transition, as well as examine similar efforts by countries outside this group.

We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the economic implications of moving away from the US dollar and explore the various mechanisms these countries are employing to facilitate trade using their local currencies.

This move reflects a growing trend towards reshaping global trade dynamics to foster greater economic resilience and independence.

CandyKisses: On the table of parliament are 150 bills awaiting a vote. And the dialectics need consensus

Baghdad Today - Baghdad

Today, Thursday (April 18, 2024), a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, MP Omid Mohammed, confirmed the existence of 150 draft laws on the table of the standing committees of the House of Representatives.

Mohammed said in a statement to "Baghdad Today", that "his committee is following up on draft laws and amendments put forward by the standing committees in the House of Representatives, which amount to 150 laws so far," adding that "controversial laws need political consensus, but the file of the presidency of the Council in light of the lack of resolution of the vote on a candidate for it reflects negatively on the file of legislation Laos.

He called for "the need for the State Administration Coalition to have positive steps in this direction in order for the current legislative term to be fruitful in the direction of resolving many laws and their amendments."

He stressed "the need to proceed with the legislation of controversial laws, including general amnesty, service and others without political consensuses that contribute to securing sufficient votes to vote on them, and this needs to resolve the rest of the files in order to proceed with them," pointing out that "the resolution of the law for people with disabilities and voting on it 3 days ago represents an important step during the legislative term of the Council to resolve the rights of an important segment."

Parliament is expected to hold a session for today, after postponing in its last session the vote on the draft law on the first amendment to the Iraqi Housing Fund Law No. (32) of 2011, and postponing the vote on the draft law on the first amendment to the Property Claims Commission Law No. (13) of 2010, where the House of Representatives completed the first reading of the draft law on the accession of the Republic of Iraq to the Convention on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, as well as the report and discussion of the draft law regulating renewable energy.

NESARA/GESARA: NESARA Activation (allegedly) implements the following changes:

1. Zeros out all credit card, mortgage, and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities. This is the Federal Reserve’s worst nightmare: a “jubilee” or a forgiveness of debt.

2. Abolishes the income tax

3. Abolishes the IRS. Employees of the IRS will be transferred into the US Treasury national sales tax area.

5. Increases benefits to senior citizens

6. Returns Constitutional Law to all courts and legal matters.

7. Reinstates the original Title of Nobility Amendment. Hundreds of thousands of Americans under the control of foreign powers will lose their citizenship, be deported to other countries, and barred from reentry for the remainder of their life. And millions of people will soon discover their college degrees are now worthless paper.

8. Establishes new Presidential and Congressional elections within 120 days after NESARA’s announcement. The interim government will cancel all “National Emergencies” and return us back to Constitutional Law.

9. Monitors elections and prevents illegal election activities of special interest groups.

Frank26  IMO just before Sudani left on his trip with his delegation to Washington DC to visit the United  States Treasury he gave orders to the government of Iraq to start setting up the big screens because he wants to make an announcement once the delegation returns from Washington DC...IMO the government of Iraq is going to give the citizens what they  promised them, purchasing power of their currency.  He will keep his promise that he swore upon Allah, introduce the lower notes with the new exchange rate...It is Sudani's intention to make an announcement and we believe it will be done through these screens.

Militia Man  The 2023/2024 budget hasn't been sent to the HOR yet but they're saying in the coming  weeks...There's time constraints on getting things done...They can't likely expose an exchange rate to the House of Representatives before they give it to them, they just can't do that because that would leak around, it would get out and it would be a disruption.   But...they have to give them that information because it's a legal component.  If they do what they say they're going to do and get an exchange rate out...it's likely going to be before that happens.    

US Debt Default Through Inflation | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  4-17-2024

While inflation has been over the Fed's 2% target for over three-years, the central bank is talking about cutting rates.

 The Fed is the "bankers bank" and operating to help the banks instead of the citizens, says portfolio manager Michael Pento

 And the economy is not as strong as the government and mainstream media claim. Those counting on their 60/40 portfolio to secure their retirement are in for a rude awakening, he says.
