Tishwash:  Saudi Foreign Minister arrives in Baghdad on official visit

Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan arrived in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Thursday, on an official visit.

According to what an informed source told Shafaq News Agency, Bin Farhan is scheduled to hold talks with senior Iraqi officials during the visit, to discuss bilateral relations between the two countries and the latest developments in the region.

The source stated that this visit comes within the framework of enhancing joint cooperation and discussing issues of common interest between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iraq, especially in light of regional developments that require coordination between the two countries to enhance stability and security in the region. link

Tishwash:  Aircraft Carrier Lincoln Arrives in Middle East with Naval Strike Force

The US military announced that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its accompanying destroyers arrived in the Middle East after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered this naval strike group to accelerate its transfer to the region.

This brings to two, at least temporarily, the number of US aircraft carriers currently in the Middle East, where fears of a regional military escalation are growing.

Tensions have been rising in the Middle East since Israel assassinated Hezbollah military leader Fouad Shukr in an airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs, and Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an assassination in Tehran, which Iran has accused the Hebrew state of being behind.

The Lincoln is supposed to replace the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.

On Wednesday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that “the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, equipped with F-35C and F/A-18 Block 3 fighters, has entered CENTCOM’s area of ​​responsibility.”

She added that Lincoln "is the lead ship in Carrier Strike Group 3, accompanied by Destroyer Flotilla (Deseron) 21 and Carrier Wing (CVW) 9."

The Pentagon announced on August 11 that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had ordered the carrier Lincoln to "accelerate its transition" to the Middle East, after having ordered it to the region earlier in the month.

Fears of a major military escalation in the region have grown since Hezbollah and its ally Iran threatened to respond to the two assassinations that took place in the southern suburbs of Beirut and Tehran at the end of last July, just a few hours apart.  link

Tishwash:  Iranian-American agreement to keep Iraq away from Middle East events

The Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, revealed on Wednesday that there is an Iranian-American agreement to keep Iraq away from the current conflict, noting that the Iraqi Prime Minister intervened to prevent the American response to the recent bombing of Ain al-Assad.

The newspaper said in a report, which was followed by Al-Mutalaa, that: “There is news circulating in intelligence circles about instructions reaching armed factions inside Iraq to stop attacks against American forces and their bases to prevent the country from sliding into open war,” indicating that: “The Iranian authorities decided to stop attacks against American bases in Iraq as a result of the escalation of tension to unprecedented levels and the increasing risk of Iraq turning into a war zone.”

She added that: "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was able to convince the Americans not to respond to the recent targeting of Ain al-Assad base and to cancel any plans to target armed factions inside the country," stressing to the Americans that: "Iraq is committed to maintaining its security and preventing its lands from turning into a battlefield between the American and Iranian parties."

The newspaper pointed out that: "The Iranian instructions do not include any mention of the attacks carried out by the factions inside Iraq against Israeli targets, including the continuous bombing of the port of Eilat," explaining that: "The cessation of attacks is limited so far to American bases and interests only, according to its description."   link

Tishwash:  Iraqi MPs launch campaign to collect signatures to summon Central Bank Governor to Parliament

A number of Iraqi parliament members launched a campaign to collect signatures with the aim of summoning the governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, to ​​the House of Representatives.

This step comes as part of attempts to determine the details of the Central Bank’s performance and raise the level of oversight over monetary policies and economic reforms.

This move reflects the parliament’s desire to follow up on the country’s financial and banking performance and ensure the achievement of the set economic goals.

On August 8, Hadi Al-Salami, a member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, revealed that his committee has been following up for more than a year on the file of terminating the assignment of the Central Bank Governor, Ali Al-Alaq, from his position.

Al-Salami stated that "there are many files and violations related to the Central Bank, which were referred to the Integrity Commission and the Public Prosecution," indicating that "these violations include issues related to the lack of control over the exchange rate in the market, in addition to millions of dollars and interest received by Arab and foreign banks, including Jordanian banks."

Jamal Koujar, a member of the Finance Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, said in press statements monitored by (Al-Mada), that: "Seven or eight signatures were collected from within the Finance Committee of the Parliament, and the signatures of members of other parliamentary committees are now being collected to support the campaign.

Koujar added that "the issue of sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks and the issue of dealing with the dollar are not under the control of the governor of the Central Bank, but these representatives have different private interests."

He continued, "If the matter reaches the point of accountability, Ali Al-Alaq will resign from his position, and he has already submitted his resignation."  link

Wed. 21 Aug. 2024 Ginger’s Liberty Lounge on Telegram: This RV is a Private Exchange, not a public one. The special exchange and/or redemption has special rates for currency – a Contract rate for a couple of currencies. One being the Iraqi Dinar, which is being given as a result of an Oil for Dinar agreement between Iraq and the countries that provided troops during the process to remove Saddam Hussein.  The purchase of oil in Dinar from Iraq will start as soon as the Revaluation starts.  The Pre-revaluation Dinar will be used to purchase the oil at the new revalued price.  For example, the current 25,000 Dinar note has a value against the US Dollar 1,460 dinar to 1 USD. The 25,000 notes we have are those notes. The 25,000 Dinar notes we hold will be exchanged by the US Treasury at a high rate because they in turn will be used to purchase oil from Iraq after revaluation at face value as if they were the new notes.  That means that a 25,000 Dinar note can currently buy about $17.00 worth of oil, however after revaluation that same note can buy around $93,000 worth of oil. The Contract rate and the lower International rate are given to us in the Private exchange as a payment for what the US spent in that war. Vietnam holds a very high amount of Dinar and China has put their weight behind the Dongs revalue rate so that they can get the Dong after we exchange it, and the swap it for the Dinar that Vietnam has in order for them to buy oil with those old notes.

Wed. 21 Aug. 2024 NESARA/GESARA, (JFK Jr.) on Telegram

NESARA (National Economic Security and Recovery Act) and GESARA (Global Economic Security and Recovery Act) are two proposals for economic reform that have been circulating on the internet for quite some time.

The main goal of these proposals is to make the world a better place by introducing a bunch of changes to the way we handle money. Some of these changes include:

Eliminating debt: Imagine waking up one day and finding out that all your student loans, credit card debt, and mortgage have vanished into thin air. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, that’s what NESARA and GESARA are proposing.

Introducing a new currency: Say goodbye to the good old US dollar and hello to a shiny new currency backed by gold, silver, or some other precious metal. This would make the value of money more stable and less prone to inflation.

Revamping the tax system: No more complicated tax forms or surprise tax bills! NESARA and GESARA want to simplify the tax system and make it more transparent, so you can finally understand what’s going on with your hard-earned cash.

Helping the little guy: These proposals aim to support small businesses and individuals by giving them access to low-interest loans and other financial assistance

Militia Man Why would somebody bring out an article "Is it time to remove the zeros?"  Because we already know they're going to do something like that...Alaq said the project still exists...Alaq has talked about creating value and so has Al Sudani.  Sudani has stated more than once that the dinar is stronger the dollar.  Why would he lie about that?  He might know things about that that you and I don't know...Where we're headed, that is probably a true statement and he's probably not going to be considered a liar.  He's probably going to come out in history as one heck of a prime minister.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]    FIREFLY:
Mr Sammy [his Iraqi bank friend] was explaining how our three zero notes will coexist for 10 years after they drop the three zeros...This is not a LOP...We don't have inflation like other neighboring countries around us that have to lop.  We can delete zeros and introduce...the lower notes because of the value that is being added.  That's purchasing power.  FRANK:  That's always been the plan...I can't believe they're going to vie you these 10 years that Dr. Shabibi wanted.  That's incredible...Wow!

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

El Salvador launches Bitcoin training for 80,000 public servants

Over the years, El Salvador has stepped up efforts to integrate Bitcoin into its educational system.

El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) has launched a Bitcoin training and certification program for 80,000 public servants.

In an Aug. 20 statement, ONBTC confirmed that Bitcoin education is now a vital component of a governance initiative designed for public sector employees.

 This program is part of the Higher School of Innovation in Public Administration (ESIAP), established by President Nayib Bukele in 2021 to elevate governance standards.

The program features nine training modules covering Bitcoin, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence, among others. Upon completion, participants will receive certification in these areas.

Stacy Herbert, Director of the Bitcoin Office, hinted at a larger announcement on the horizon, noting that this program is just the beginning. She added:

“These education projects are very low time preference commitments to the long term success of El Salvador and its bitcoin (& tech) policy.”

Meanwhile, these trainings are part of El Salvador’s broader effort to advance Bitcoin education nationwide. Since adopting Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021, the country has introduced three other crypto-focused educational initiatives, including Cuboplus, My First Bitcoin, and Node Nation, which are now part of the public school curriculum.

El Salvador Bitcoin

This move confirms that El Salvador remains steadfast in its Bitcoin strategy despite initially drawing criticism and doubt from international observers.

Indeed, the strategy appears to be finally paying off, as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently acknowledged that its anticipated risks of El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as a legal tender have not materialized.

Further, El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have yielded a profit of over 35%, largely due to strategic acquisitions made during market downturns. According to Nayibtracker data, the country currently holds 5,848 Bitcoin at an unrealized profit of more than $47 million.

In addition, President Bukele recently announced a $1.6 billion investment by Turkish firm Yilport Holdings to upgrade two ports in the country, one of which will host the proposed Bitcoin City. 

The city, envisioned during the 2021 Bitcoin adoption, is expected to be a tax haven powered by geothermal energy for Bitcoin mining and will attract crypto enthusiasts worldwide.

Crypto Payment Network for AI Agents Launched by Former Ripple Execs

The company, Skyfire, raised $8.5 million to help AI get things done, even when it involves paying for something.

AI systems can do many things: conjure images and videos, write treatises, synthesize terabytes of information, and even replicate human speech patterns and emulate emotions.

But one thing they cannot yet do, as simple as it sounds, is pay for anything.

Two former Ripple developers now seek to eliminate that barrier by fusing blockchain payments with AI to bring forth what they believe will soon emerge as a new chapter for both technologies.

Their novel service, an open-source payment system called Skyfire, will allow autonomous AI agents to zip around the internet, purchasing whatever goods they need to complete assigned missions—everything from data storage and creative assets to airfare and groceries. All such transactions will be powered by USDC, the popular stablecoin.

The company, which today announced an $8.5 million seed raise, is backed by crypto heavy hitters, including Circle—the issuer of USDC—Ripple, Gemini, and the VC firm of prominent Silicon Valley billionaire and Bitcoin advocate Tim Draper. Skyfire currently runs on Polygon, the Ethereum scaling network, but it says it plans to expand to additional blockchains soon.

Swiss Banks Embrace Instant Payments: Could XRP Become the Go-To Crypto?

▪️Switzerland has taken a step further in embracing crypto with the recent expansion of the instant payment scheme as other banks integrate XRP into their trading platforms.

▪️According to reports, 28% of banks in Switzerland allow or are planning to allow customers to invest in crypto.

According to an announcement by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and financial infrastructure operator SIX Interbank Clearing Ltd, Switzerland has reached an advanced phase in its effort to leverage the power of instant payment schemes to go cashless.

In the SNB report reviewed by Crypto News Flash, about 60 financial institutions within the country currently can process and receive payment instantly (within 10 seconds). Interestingly, this makes up about 95% of the Swiss retail payment transactions.

The report further discloses that the first institution has launched its retail offering with several others expected to join in the coming months. With this, experts believe that the financial economy could be boosted since private individuals and companies could perform account-to-account transactions around the clock.

This offers significant advantages for individuals, companies and commercial banks. Thanks to shorter settlement chains, risks are reduced and funds received are available immediately. For companies and commercial banks, instant payments expand opportunities for automating processes and linking with other services.

Commenting on this, SNB and SIX disclosed that instant payment could be widely established in Switzerland in the medium term and could be a model for future related innovations.

The technical framework for this new type of payment was put in place with the successful go-live of the new generation of the central Swiss payment system in November 2023.

This market launch represents a further important milestone and reflects the collective stakeholder commitment to the future of cashless payments in Switzerland.

Could XRP be Considered for this Innovation

With the country expected to fully redefine its financial system with the perfect establishment of an instant payment scheme, experts believe that XRP could be integrated in the future.

Fortunately, this possibility is not far-fetched as a Swiss bank fully owned by the government, PostFinance, recently announced the addition of Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP) to its trading platform.

According to reports, XRP could get more integration in the future, with 28% of Swiss banks currently allowing clients or planning to enable them to invest in crypto. In addition to PostFinance, the cantonal banks of Zug, St Gallen, and Lucerne have all introduced their crypto offerings.

PostFinance’s history in the crypto industry could be traced beyond 2023, when it partnered with Sygnum Bank to regulate crypto services. The basis of the collaboration was to allow customers to buy, sell, and store cryptos like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and now XRP.

Last year, we reported that Swiss banking giant BBVA had expanded its partnership with Ripple-owned Metaco to enable a robust engagement in crypto. 

Priding itself as the first tier 1 bank in the Eurozone to combine crypto custodial and trading services alongside traditional assets, BBVA is expected to lead the way for full XRP integration.

Currently, XRP is being set up to lead the new global financial era, which is marked by its recent integration with MasterCard, while Ripple is working to boost Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization worldwide.

At press time, XRP traded at $0.59 after declining by 0.12% in the last 24 hours.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

IOTA Foundation a Winner in EBSI PCP, Demonstrating Scalability and Sustainability

The IOTA Foundation has successfully completed the final phase of the European Blockchain PCP, developing a scalable, energy-efficient, and secure blockchain solution using its Tangle technology.

As part of the European Blockchain PCP, IOTA created prototypes such as Digital Product Passports for electronics and plastics and an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Marketplace.

The IOTA Foundation recently announced that it has successfully completed the third and final phase of the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), a big initiative funded by the European Commission. IOTA was one of the seven projects to participate in the European Blockchain PCP which began back in 2020.

The goal of the European Blockchain PCP is to build new Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) solutions for integration into the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI). 

As reported by Crypto News Flash, EBSI is an open-source permissioned network supporting cross-border credential attestations across the European continent.

Its long-term vision includes the evolution of the infrastructure into the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium for Blockchain (EUROPEUM-EDIC) which will offer scalability, energy efficiency, and secure blockchain applications.

Throughout the phases of this project, IOTA, along with its partners such as Digimarc, Software AG, Uncommon Digital, etc., developed a solution combining the DAG-based tangle DLT with open-source building blocks and APIs. 

This solution includes a core DLT layer built atop the Stardust version of the Tangle protocol, which uses a Decentralized Coordinator with a Proof-of-Authority consensus mechanism involving EU member states and institutions.

It further ensures decentralization, efficiency, interoperability, and scalability, enabled by the “Tangle Tree” data sharding concept and EVM-compatible IOTA Smart Contract Chains. 

Now, with the completion of the European Blockchain PCP, IOTA can apply these innovations and prototypes in the market, thereby contributing to future blockchain services in Europe.

IOTA Builds Innovative Prototypes for European Blockchain PCP

As part of its involvement in the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), the IOTA Foundation built innovative solution prototypes. One such prototype focuses on intellectual property rights (IPR) management by leveraging NFTs, smart contracts, and decentralized identities (DIDs). As reported by Crypto News Flash, IOTA has also created an IPR Marketplace that is accessible through an EU Digital Identity-compatible credential wallet.

Similarly, IOTA has also developed Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for both the electronics and the plastic industries. Thus, the Electronics DPP prototype tracks the entire lifecycle of electronic devices, right from manufacturing to recycling. Similarly, the Plastics DPP prototype focuses on the transformation of agricultural plastic waste into bioplastic, while recording each phase of the process, per the CNF report.

IOTA successfully demonstrated its technology in the European Blockchain PCP across multiple areas such as:

▪️Scalability: IOTA’s Tangle technology achieved 90K confirmed transactions per second by using the Tangle Tree sharding concept, thereby supporting exponential scalability with 100 interconnected Tangles.

▪️Sustainability: The energy consumption for IOTA’s Stardust Tangle has scaled logarithmically with transaction volumes. IOTA noted that this makes it more energy-efficient than other solutions, like Hyperledger Besu.

▪️Security and Privacy: IOTA aligned with industry standards, developed quantum-resistant cryptography, and ensured compatibility with European regulations, enhancing both security and privacy in its blockchain solution.

Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim visits India to reset ties, boost Brics membership bid

The first visit to India by PM Anwar Ibrahim is timely due to China’s rising dominance of Malaysia’s foreign policy space, analysts say

Malaysia’s Anwar Ibrahim on Monday makes his debut trip to India as prime minister, seeking support for his country’s application to join the Brics bloc and to rekindle a bilateral relationship that was worth over US$16 billion in trade last year.

During its first prime minister-led delegation’s visit to India since 2018, Malaysia hopes to bolster ties with one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies. India is the largest buyer of Malaysian palm oil and a key exporter of rice to the Southeast Asian nation.

The application to join Brics, which was submitted to the current chairman Russia, is aimed at cushioning a potential impact on Malaysia from the escalating US-China trade and tech war, analysts say.

Brics comprises founder members Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, as well as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, offering preferential trade and investment with countries covering 45 per cent of the world’s population.

Anwar’s three-day visit is also a chance to reset Malaysia’s relations with India, analysts say, following a hangover from a spat with New Delhi under a previous Malaysian administration and China increasingly dominating the Southeast Asian nation’s foreign policy space.

During his visit, Anwar is scheduled to hold talks with his counterpart Narendra Modi, Malaysia’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday, as well as meet India’s captains of industry and deliver a lecture on Malaysia-India ties.

The visit marks the first top-level visit by a Malaysian leader since former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad in 2019 accused India of having “invaded and occupied” Kashmir. His comments triggered a limited boycott of Malaysia’s palm oil – one of its biggest exports – by Indian traders.

India has been Malaysia’s top export market for its palm oil for 10 years running, buying 2.84 million tonnes in 2023, or nearly 20 per cent of Malaysia’s total palm oil exports, according to Malaysian government data. In contrast, China bought 1.47 million tonnes of palm oil shipments.

Malaysia is also heavily dependent on India for its domestic food supply.

In March, Malaysia’s government put in a request to import an additional 500,000 metric tonnes of rice from the world’s largest rice exporter, as a prolonged drought crimped domestic output and put pressure on national grain stockpiles. The request was on top of an earlier rice export quota of 170,000 metric tonnes allocated for Malaysia for the year.

India also has deep cultural links with Malaysia, whose minority ethnic Indians make hundreds of thousands of annual visits each year to their ancestral family villages and perform religious pilgrimages in temples, mostly in India’s south.

There is also a burgeoning strategic dimension in the relationship to serve as ballast to counter China’s influence, which looms large over the contested South China Sea, analysts say.

“Beijing’s rapid ascendency in the past three decades has transformed the entire power and economic equation in the region, and until recently, there was no adequate power balancer to this new power dynamic apart from the West,” said Collins Chong Yew Keat, a foreign affairs analyst with the University of Malaya.

The visit presents an opportunity for Malaysia to explore deeper defence cooperation with India, which has been upgrading its security and naval capacities and is carving out an increasingly important role in Asia’s regional maritime resilience, Chong added.

It is a role outlined in Modi’s Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative launched in 2019, which presents the South Asian power as potentially the “primary power challenger” to China, Chong said.

Ripple Enhances XRP Ledger (XRPL) with Launch of New Batch Devnet Servers

▪️Ripple launches Batch-Devnet Servers, boosting XRPL’s development with enhanced testing capabilities.

▪️New Batch Transactions feature on XRPL streamlines complex operations, aiding NFT minting and more.

Ripple Labs developers are taking significant steps to enhance the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Following the new era for XRPL we discussed earlier, Ripple and Archax are working to tokenize millions in real-world assets.

The latest update is the announcement of the availability of Batch-Devnet Servers, which serve as a parallel XRP Ledger test network.

As per a tweet yesterday, RippleX shared that the Batch-Devnet Servers are now available as a parallel XRP Ledger test network.

These test networks provide a platform for testing changes to the XRPL and connecting software without using real funds. It’s important to note that the ledger history and balances on these networks can be reset at any time, and users are advised not to use Testnet or Devnet credentials on the Mainnet.

RippleX also highlighted that users can now explore the new “Batch Transactions” feature. This allows multiple transactions to be bundled and executed as a single unit, enhancing reliability and predictability for complex operations.

All balances and XRP on these networks are separate from the Mainnet. As a precaution, do not use Testnet or Devnet credentials on the Mainnet.

One practical use case for this technology is the minting of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and creating an offer for them in a single transaction.

Taking into account that the XRP Ledger set a new record with 90 million ledgers closed, as CNF previously highlighted, it was a key achievement highlighting XRPL’s growth and community involvement. According to CoinMarketCap data today, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $0.5946, declined by 1.39% in the past day, and surged by 3.23% in the past week.

Tishwash:  Iraq pursues his former oil minister via Interpol

 ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Federal Commission for Integrity continues to coordinate with Interpol to arrest former Iraqi Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar, who is involved in billions of dollars of corruption.

In mid-August August 2023, the Karkh Investigation Court, which specializes in integrity issues, issued a decision to seize the movable and immovable funds of former Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar.

At the time, Iraqi supervisory sources spoke of inflation and extreme wealth in the minister's funds, who, according to the same sources, owns millions of dollars worth of real estate in Iraq and abroad.

Earlier, the head of the transport and communications committee in the Iraqi parliament, Zahra al-Bajari, confirmed that the former minister in the integrity courts has 68 files related to financial and administrative corruption and waste of public money.

At the time, she pointed out that Abdul-Jabbar was involved in damaging public funds within the oil sector worth $ 825 billion.

Al-Bajari said in a press statement on October 18, October, 2022, that the former minister "amended a contract between the Ministry of Oil and two British and Chinese companies related to the Rumaila oil field in a way that causes financial damage to Iraq estimated at more than $ 825 billion over 25 years."

The Iraqi MP said, based on a report of the financial audit, that among the paragraphs affected by the amendment in the contract is a paragraph to reduce oil production and export by 750,000 barrels per day.  link

Tishwash:  Calls to form a parliamentary committee to investigate the discrepancy in the budget tables amounting to 8 trillion

 Member of Parliament, Sarwa Abdul Wahid, called on Wednesday for the formation of a parliamentary committee to present its results to the House of Representatives regarding the difference in the budget tables, which amounts to 8 trillion dinars.

Abdul Wahid said in a statement seen by Al-Eqtisad News, "After talking about the difference in the budget tables, which amounts to 8 trillion, it became necessary for the presidency of the council to respond to the letter of the Council of Ministers that was sent on the first of last July, and as a result, the head of the Finance Committee ordered the formation of a committee to find out the facts."

Abdul Wahid explained, "It seems that there is (deception on the issue), so we demand the formation of a parliamentary committee whose results will be presented to the House of Representatives to find out the facts. If the Cabinet's letter is accurate and there is manipulation of the tables, then this is a disaster that must not be ignored, and Parliament must not be allowed to be a bridge for the corrupt."  link

Why Gold Price Ripping is Giving Us Big Clues About Financial System Crashing - Lyn Alden

Daniela Cambone:  8-20-2024

The global financial system is under strain, with currencies around the world failing or on the brink, warns Lyn Alden, founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy.

In this interview with Daniela Cambone, Alden explains why there is significant upside for gold in the next five to ten years—and why waiting for small dips could cost you big.

Alden discusses how the U.S. and Europe are sliding toward Japan-style stagnation but without the benefits of a current account surplus or social cohesion.

As public debt and fiscal deficits surge, Alden predicts a more inflationary future and shares insights on how to navigate these challenging times.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

IOTA Foundation Develops 3 Innovative Solutions for EU_EBSI Funded by European Commission

▪️The IOTA Foundation has introduced three groundbreaking products in collaboration with the European Commission to enhance transparency across various sectors by utilizing blockchain technology.

▪️The new tools include a Digital Product Passport for electronics, a Digital Product Passport for plastics, and an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) management solution.

In the latest development, the IOTA Foundation recently developed three revolutionary products, which they launched in association with the European Commission. With these products, IOTA focuses on raising levels of transparency in numerous industries and sectors.

Moreover, these innovations come within the framework of the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP). For context, PCP focuses on developing enhanced solutions for blockchain. Let’s take a look at all three products from IOTA.

1. Digital Product Passport For Electronics (H2)

The DPP for electronics manages the lifecycle of electronic goods. The IOTA Foundation built it in collaboration with the Technical University of Catalonia and eReuse. This tool uses blockchain to ensure that all electronics right from manufacturing to its disassembling and recycling are well recorded.

The DPP addresses key stages in an electronic device’s lifecycle: procurement of the raw materials, manufacturing, utilization, and disposal of the product. Also, there is a record of each level of the process, which guarantees proper documentation of all information about the device regarding its chemical content, breakdowns, and recycling procedures.

Furthermore, effective record-keeping also boosts the area of accountability. The DPP prototype uses IOTA Smart Contracts in order to record key information and to easily track and validate the history of electronic products throughout the chain, per the CNF report.

2. Digital Product Passport For Plastics (H2)

To tackle the ecological concern of plastic waste, the IOTA Foundation has developed a DPP prototype designed specifically for agroplastic products like agricultural mulch films. For this initiative, IOTA has partnered with Digimarc and Agro2Circula, and together, they will work on tracing the journey of plastics right from use to reuse, recycling, and reuse as products, reported Crypto News Flash.

However, this operation is rather complex and implies the involvement of many parties, and its specifics depend on national legislation. Nonetheless, the solution gives a comprehensive account of the lifecycle of plastic. It also includes the journey in which the waste is disposed of through recycling and upcycling techniques.

This prototype by the IOTA Foundation provides proof of work in tracking the disposed plastic in a transparent and verifiable manner. As such, it assists in minimizing the effects of plastic waste on the environment.

3. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Management Solution (H2)

The third innovation is an identification model created to provide more efficient guidance on Intellectual Property Rights related to the media. IOTA was developed keeping in mind the complexity of the process of licensing music used in films. Thus, this tool uses distributed ledger technology and smart contracts for rights management and royalty payments.

The IPR Marketplace system relies on IOTA Smart Contracts that turn conventional negotiations and paperwork into digital contracts that self-execute and self-enforce. Furthermore, it ensures that rights holders can protect and claim their compensation in an orderly manner, reported CNF.

The system also supports Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), designed to ensure timely payment for everyone, from the performer to songwriters and record companies. These NFTs also enhance traceability and reduce disputes.

Global Financial Crisis:

Mon. 19 Aug. 2024:  CHECKMATE!!! The Black Swan Event: A Financial Apocalypse with Stock Market and Bitcoin Collapse, Power Grid Blackout, and EBS-Triggered Quantum Energy Revolution – amg-news.com – American Media Group

All U.S. banks have been purchased by the New U.S. Treasury (which has relocated from Washington D.C. to the Sparks Indian Colony near Reno, Nevada) 

Results of a military investigation found that some bank owners secretly received a full loan payment immediately after a home owner signed mortgage papers but continued to require and accept monthly mortgage payments from the home owner. They were double dipping.

Here is what has been happening for decades: In the early 1940’s, as Birth Certificates were started and generally accepted as legal documents, corrupt politicians kept the original documents, monetized and sold them on the Stock Market (parents received copies and not the originals). The politicians dipped into this hidden and illegal slush fund created from the sales. The scheme was finally revealed by Military investigators. In the next few weeks, all illegal profits made from birth certificates will be returned to each citizen.

Debt Jubilee or forgiveness of all debts: For over a year now, citizens have looked forward to this benefit from the new laws of the Republic. It was finally legalized by Mr. Trump on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.

Details: The U.S. Treasury will send out a computer algorithm to each bank to zero out all mortgage debt, credit card debt, car debt, etc. Citizens do not have to contact their debtor to ask for the Debt Jubilee. Watch for your new zero balance statement coming out sometime in August.

Changes are coming in home ownership, foreclosures, and taxes.

Beginning in August, Mortgages will be tokenized with a blockchain platform. Details will be coming. It started with the farmers of America. They have used their farm machinery and family home as collateral for security of loans. Many lost their farm and home if they defaulted on loan payments. Mr. Trump has changed the system so no family will lose their farm or home.

Next to be financially reimbursed are the American Indians. Then debt relief to all U.S. citizens.

Foreclosures are now illegal. No more property taxes. Sales of used homes will have no taxation; new homes will have a sales tax.

To cure inflation, all pricing of homes, cars, merchandise, etc. will use the pricing from the year 1955.  No more credit scores. All three credit reporting agencies have been dismantled.

Bed Bath and Beyond 360 stores

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Saleh was talking about the floats and he was also talking to us about fixed rates.  He's saying no decisions have been made.  They talked about the pros and the cons of each one of these options.  Then the CBI came out and said in the coming days we will make actions to lower the dollar exchange rate.  FRANK:   Can the CBI lower the dollar exchange rate?  No.  Yes! How?  FIREFLY: ...The CBI's job is not to control the dollar...They can't touch a dollar but...the CBI can touch the dinar...If they lifted the value of our currency wouldn't that bring down the value of the dollar in our country? ...Let's see if that is the only thing the CBI could do to bring the dollar down is raise the dinar.  They say in coming days.

Militia Man  Saleh, the financial advisor, has talked about the float...a managed float or a mixture of the peg and the float which would be considered flexible...These guys are going to do what they think is the most positive...They're not going to try to hurt the situation.  They're going to try to make themselves successful.

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday Morning 8-21-2024

TNT:

Tishwash:  Al-Nujaba: The truce is over and the option of striking American bases in Iraq is now available

The Al-Nujaba Movement - one of the Iraqi factions involved in the so-called "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" - considered on Tuesday that the truce that was aimed at giving the government time to negotiate the withdrawal of US forces from the country has ended, and the options of targeting military bases have become available.

“The resistance factions in Iraq have ended this truce, and therefore all options are available to the resistance forces to target all American bases inside Iraq,” Haider al-Lami, a member of the political council of the al-Nujaba movement, told The National.

Al-Lami considered that there was "procrastination and delay" by America regarding the withdrawal of its forces during the talks with the Iraqi government.

"There will be a response in the coming days that may target more than one place, not necessarily in Iraq, Syria and Israel," added Al-Lami, who warned after the Babylon strike that such a move was under consideration.

He said that some forces will remain in the Kurdistan Region until September 2026 to supervise counter-terrorism operations in Syria. The situation there is different from Iraq, as ISIS is stronger in Syria and has strongholds.  link

Reuters: BP's deal with Iraq will be based on profit-sharing model

 An agreement with BP to develop oil and gas fields in Kirkuk will be based on a profit-sharing model, and a final deal is expected by the end of this year, two oil ministry officials told Reuters.

Iraq and BP signed a preliminary agreement this month to develop four oil and gas fields in the Kirkuk region of northern Iraq, an area where BP estimates about nine billion barrels of oil could be extracted.

The two officials said the ministry and BP, which is returning to the region after an absence of about five years, are expected to sign an agreement, the terms of which will not be disclosed, this week under which Iraq will hand over a data package for the four Kirkuk fields and their facilities.

The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.

BP has not yet responded to a request for comment.

BP withdrew from the area in late 2019 after a service contract signed in 2013 expired without reaching an agreement to expand the field.  link

Tishwash:  An economist places “extortion, bribery and smuggling” as the first causes of the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate

Today, Tuesday, economic affairs researcher Diaa Al-Mohsen listed the extortion, bribery and smuggling operations carried out by dollar dealers who cannot disclose the sources of their money as the first reasons for the fluctuation of the dollar exchange rate in local markets.

Al-Mohsen explained, “The old authority is still floundering in dealing with the issue of the dollar exchange rate, as all the measures it has taken since it took over the management of the Central Bank hardly touch the real problem that led to these rises , which in one way or another led to a major impact on the economic situation of the Iraqi family.” Noting that, “The Iraqi market depends entirely on securing its needs through imports, which eat up all the revenues obtained from Iraqi oil sales .”

In an interview with (Al-Mada), Al-Mohsen indicated, “There are many reasons for the fluctuation of exchange rates other than the above. Many dealers do not enter dollars for reasons related to the nature of the money they obtain (the national currency). There are those who obtain the Iraqi dinar through bribery, and others who obtain They are subjected to it through blackmail, some of whom trade in drugs and human organs, and many others who cannot disclose the sources of their money nor the ultimate beneficiary of the Sending process abroad, which exposes them to many legal problems and may expose them to penalties according to Iraqi law.” Pointing out, “These people are forced to go to the black market to request the dollar, and thus the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar rises to increase the demand for the dollar. We should also not forget that there are those who smuggle the dollar by tampering with documents for importing goods, and this manipulation occurs at the border crossings, and as a result In the end, the country is the biggest loser, followed by the simple citizen . ”

Regarding the dominance of the dollar, the researcher in economic affairs continued, “There does not seem to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon to get rid of the dominance of the US dollar as long as the bank’s management insists on keeping the Iraqi economy revolving around the US dollar. If there was a real administration working for the benefit of the national economy, it would do everything in its power to do so.” A way to diversify the sources of currencies you deal with, which is what the current administration does not want . “

He continued his speech, "I think that the government should seriously think about revitalizing the economic sectors, especially with the Central Bank of Iraq talking about reserves exceeding 115 billion dollars. It is possible to simplify the procedures for granting loans to project owners who have feasibility studies on the projects that they want to implement and that are in the interest of The Iraqi economy, and grant them soft loans in exchange for the project's guarantee, to reduce the gap between market requirements and imports, and fill this gap by increasing local production to cover the need of the local market and by relying on modern technology with regard to industries, and by relying on modern agricultural techniques with regard to agriculture.” Stressing, “Only here we will have put the Iraqi economy on the right path, and anything other than what we said will be nothing more than plowing into the sea .”

The exchange rate of the dollar in the parallel markets in Iraq has risen again, as the price of the dollar recorded an increase with the closure of the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges, reaching 149,300 dinars against 100 dollars, while last Saturday It recorded a decrease with the closure of the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges, reaching 149,550 Iraqi dinars against 100 dollars.  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Ripple Important Level of Contact with IMF Revealed in Fresh Palau Report

A recently released report on Palau’s National Government Payment Service has revealed a significant level of contact between Ripple and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Prominent XRP community member WrathofKahneman (WoK) unearthed this observation and highlighted it in a recent post on X.

Notably, the report from Palau highlighted the successful completion of Phase 2a of the country’s digital payment initiative. For context, this initiative focuses on developing a stablecoin service, “PSC.” Palau is carrying out this project in collaboration with Ripple, utilizing the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

This recently completed phase analyzed stakeholder requirements in six key socioeconomic areas to develop a framework for a convenient and accessible national payment ecosystem, especially for the unbanked and underbanked.

Additionally, the Palau digital payment system seeks to emulate the services of PayPal and Alipay in ways that precisely fit the context of Palau’s needs. 

Its goals are reducing cash reliance, lowering fuel consumption and travel time, and offering lower fees. The report also reviews the pilot program, incorporating feedback and recommendations for a phased nationwide rollout.

Ripple’s Important Level of Contact with IMF

What stands out in this latest report is the inclusion of the IMF Technical Assistance Team among the stakeholders consulted for the project. According to WrathofKahneman, this points to an important level of technical engagement between Ripple and the IMF.

WoK emphasized the significance of this connection, noting that while the XRP community has long been aware of Ripple’s discussions with the IMF, this report serves as tangible evidence of their collaboration on a practical level.

Furthermore, WoK strengthens his argument by pointing out that the IMF’s recommendations align closely with the objectives of Palau’s National Payment System, which Ripple is helping to develop.

The IMF’s focus on enhancing financial resilience, improving payment systems, and carefully approaching fintech innovations mirrors the goals of the Ripple-Palau collaboration.

WoK believes this alignment suggests that Ripple’s involvement is not just incidental but deeply integrated with IMF-led financial strategies in the region, reinforcing the idea of meaningful contact between Ripple and the IMF.

Essentially, this revelation reinforces the idea that Ripple is not just working in isolation but is actively engaging with major global financial institutions like the IMF. 

Such collaborations could pave the way for Ripple to play a more central role in future financial systems, particularly in regions where digital innovation and financial modernization are priorities.

RFK Jr.'s campaign may drop out to support Trump, says running mate Nicole Shanahan

Both candidates have adopted a pro-crypto position; their collaboration could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election.

Key Takeaways

▪️ Kennedy's campaign is evaluating a potential endorsement of Trump to avoid splitting votes.
▪️ Trump has become a pro-crypto candidate, promising to support the industry.

Pro-crypto presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign is mulling quitting the election bid and joining forces with Donald Trump, said Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, on Tom Bilyeu’s Impact Theory podcast. Shanahan’s statements were first shared by Collin Rugg, Trending Politics’ co-owner.

Dropping out of the election race is just one of two possible outcomes. Shanahan said Kennedy’s campaign is also considering continuing their third-party bid, but it comes at the risk of splitting votes with Trump, which could benefit Kamala Harris’ campaign.

“There are two options that we’re currently looking at and one is staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan stated.

“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” she noted, adding that it would not be an easy decision and they would need to justify it to their supporters.

According to Politico, Kennedy’s campaign is struggling financially, with $3.9 million in cash and $3.5 million in debt as of July 2024. Despite efforts to boost fundraising, the campaign’s expenditures have consistently outstripped its income.

If Kennedy’s campaign team chooses to collaborate with Trump’s team, that could create a powerful narrative in the 2024 election as both two figures have adopted a pro-crypto stance.

Trump has positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, pledging to retain all Bitcoin held by the US government and to ease regulatory pressures on the crypto industry.

Harris’ position on crypto is unclear, though reports indicate that her campaign team has been working to reconnect with the industry in recent weeks.

Despite crypto’s growing popularity, its potential impact on voting behavior remains uncertain. Voters often make decisions heavily influenced by key issues like economic conditions.

Harris has recently faced criticism for her new economic proposals, with figures like former Obama economist Jason Furman questioning the practicality and sensibility of her plans.

Following her speech on these proposals, Harris’ odds of winning the election dropped to 49% on the decentralized prediction marketplace Polymarket, while Trump’s odds saw a corresponding surge to 49%.
