North Korea and Russia Forge Strategic Alliance: A New Axis in East Asia

Military diplomacy between Moscow and Pyongyang signals deeper realignments in global trade and security.

North Korea and Russia Forge Strategic Alliance: A New Axis in East Asia

Military diplomacy between Moscow and Pyongyang signals deeper realignments in global trade and security.

North Korea’s top diplomat’s visit to Moscow marks one of the most overt declarations of partnership between Pyongyang and the Kremlin since the Cold War. The talks, centered on defense, logistics, and labor cooperation, confirm a pivot toward mutual reinforcement against Western sanctions.

 

  • Military–Industrial Linkages: Analysts note that North Korea could provide munitions and low-cost labor to sustain Russia’s prolonged conflict in Ukraine. In exchange, Pyongyang may receive technology, fuel, and hard currency — effectively creating a closed economic loop outside Western control.

  • Financial Sanctions Loopholes: This alignment tests the durability of the global sanctions regime. If barter systems or digital trade intermediaries are used, it could bypass SWIFT mechanisms and accelerate the search for alternative financial corridors within the Eurasian bloc.

  • Strategic Ripple Effects: Japan and South Korea may strengthen defense pacts with the U.S. and NATO. China, while cautious, benefits from seeing Western bandwidth divided between Europe and East Asia.

Implications for Global Finance:
A Russia–North Korea trade corridor could become a small but symbolically powerful node in a larger de-dollarization framework. By linking resource exchange, crypto payments, and parallel shipping networks, it foreshadows a fragmented global trade map — divided between Western-led systems and Eurasian “sovereign finance zones.”

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

South Korea’s High-Stakes Diplomacy at APEC: The Balancing Act Between Giants

As APEC 2025 approaches, Seoul’s role may determine the next phase of global economic integration.

South Korea faces a delicate diplomatic equation at the upcoming APEC summit in Gyeongju. Hosting both U.S. President Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, President Yoon Suk Yeol’s administration stands at the crossroads of competing visions for Asia’s economic future.

  • Mediator or Battleground: Seoul’s challenge is to present itself as a mediator rather than a subordinate ally. Success could enhance its leverage over semiconductor trade, digital currencies, and shipping corridors — making it a neutral hub between Western markets and the Asian mainland.

  • Supply Chain Strategy: By coordinating semiconductor alliances (notably “Chip 4” with the U.S., Taiwan, and Japan) while maintaining export ties with China, Korea may set a precedent for multi-polar trade diplomacy.

  • Digital Currency Diplomacy: Korea’s participation in cross-border CBDC pilots — including BIS and BRICS-linked projects — positions it as a test site for new payment interoperability that could redefine trade settlements in Asia.

Implications for Global Markets:
APEC 2025 could quietly shape the rules of digital trade, AI governance, and blockchain interoperability, effectively rewriting how capital and goods move across Asia. Should Korea succeed, it becomes a model for middle powers balancing great-power rivalries with market-driven neutrality.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush — 1 man even bought a home with his spoils. How to cash in

Jing Pan  Sat, October 25, 2025

It’s been more than 170 years since California’s Gold Rush — but locals are once again finding gold dust, flakes and even nuggets glittering in the state’s rivers.

“Gold’s all around,” said Manny Goza, a prospector sifting through the Bear River, in an interview with FOX40 News. (1) The low water levels during the fall make it easier to reach stretches of the river that are usually inaccessible.

Californians Keep Finding Leftover Loot From The Gold Rush — 1 man even bought a home with his spoils. How to cash in

Jing Pan  Sat, October 25, 2025

It’s been more than 170 years since California’s Gold Rush — but locals are once again finding gold dust, flakes and even nuggets glittering in the state’s rivers.

“Gold’s all around,” said Manny Goza, a prospector sifting through the Bear River, in an interview with FOX40 News. (1) The low water levels during the fall make it easier to reach stretches of the river that are usually inaccessible.

For Goza, a builder by trade, panning for gold has paid off.

“I did it every day. I've been here since 2005, bought a house in 2010 because I could pay my bills off the gold,” he said. “When I’m not contracting, I’m here digging gold.”

With gold prices up more than 50% over the past 12 months, the precious metal is drawing renewed attention from locals looking for opportunity in their own backyard.

Goza said an “amateur” prospector can expect to make around $50 a day, while a more serious one might bring in “anywhere from $100 to $15,000.”

Just like the original gold rush nearly two centuries ago, striking it big often comes down to luck. One prospector recalled a moment when a golden nugget “just rolled out — it was completely round like a baseball and it was half gold.”

Still, the work can be grueling. As another prospector put it, gold “doesn’t jump into the pan.”

And payday is never a sure thing.

“It’s emotional, some days you find $15,000, some days you don’t find anything,” Goza said.

Tishwash:  Al-Karawi: WTO membership will grant Iraq broad economic and trade privileges.

The Director General of the General Company for Grain Trade at the Ministry of Trade, Haider Nouri Al-Karawi, confirmed on Sunday that Iraq has completed the vast majority of its World Trade Organization accession files and is close to completing the remaining files after nearly twenty years of efforts.

 He pointed out that membership will grant the country extensive economic and trade privileges, contribute to reducing customs duties, and attract international companies to invest in the Iraqi market.

 Al-Karawi told Al-Iraqiya News, as reported by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that “the process of joining the World Trade Organization requires a long period of time, and Iraq began working on this file in 2003 under the direct supervision of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations and the Minister of Trade.”

He added, "Iraq has completed the vast majority of the required files and is currently completing the final stages in preparation for formal membership in the organization," noting that "some countries have taken more than twenty years to complete this process, so the period of time required by Iraq is no exception."

Al-Karawi explained that "Iraq's accession to the organization will grant it significant economic and trade privileges, most notably the protection of the rights of domestic and imported products, and the provision of joint mechanisms to facilitate trade, tax, and customs exchange with member states, which will positively impact the reduction of customs duties and the facilitation of import and export operations."

He pointed out that "membership will help attract international companies by ensuring the protection of their products from counterfeiting and encouraging them to invest in the Iraqi market. It will also have a positive impact on lowering prices for consumers by strengthening legitimate competition and regulating markets."

Al-Karawi explained that "Iraq is committed to implementing more than fifteen technical and legislative files as part of the accession requirements, including the file on product protection and global trademarks, which ensures that no party will imitate or market products similar to those of international companies."

He added, "Completing these commitments gives foreign companies confidence in entering the Iraqi market  link

************

Tishwash:  The oil and gas law returns to the forefront, and Parliament faces a test of political will.

As the fifth legislative session draws to a close and the country enters the electoral phase, the federal oil and gas law returns to the forefront of the political scene in Iraq as one of the most sensitive pieces of legislation postponed since 2007, amid warnings that its continued obstruction will deepen the economic crisis and keep the country hostage to political disputes.

 The oil and gas law is one of the most contentious issues between the federal government, the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the oil-producing provinces, as it stands at a crucial crossroads that determines the future of oil wealth management, which constitutes more than 90 percent of state revenues.

Amid repeated calls from the presidency and parliament to pass it before the end of the current session, fears are growing that its continued obstruction will disrupt the investment environment and weaken the unity of oil decision-making.

Energy expert Mohammed Hawrami believes that the continued absence of the law represents an economic and legislative failure that has had direct repercussions on oil wealth management and the general budget, as well as declining attractiveness for foreign investment in the energy sector.

Hawrami explained that postponing the approval of the law during this session means postponing the decision to a new session, along with the accompanying new tensions over powers and revenue sharing, making any further disruption costly to the national economy.

He added that the absence of a legal framework has created a state of administrative and financial chaos between the central government, the region, and the producing provinces, and has deprived Iraq of the ability to formulate a unified production and investment policy. This has negatively impacted the confidence of foreign companies awaiting stable legislation that guarantees the sustainability of their operations.

He pointed out that Iraq needs annual investments exceeding $15 billion to develop the oil and energy sector and improve refining and export capacities. However, the absence of legal regulation of contracts and financial distribution makes the investment environment risky and limits the entry of major companies into the market.

Emphasized that the current parliament's window of opportunity is almost running out, requiring urgent action to adopt the law before the end of the session, as continued disruption means postponing any real economic transformation towards diversification and sustainable development.

For his part, Bassem Nughmish, a member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, emphasized that the continued suspension of the law keeps the Iraqi economy mired in a cycle of rents and limits its ability to achieve balanced development

Naghamish explained that the absence of the law means the absence of a regulatory framework for managing national wealth, which confuses financial planning, leads to disparities in the distribution of revenues between the center and producing provinces, and limits the state's ability

to implement a stable fiscal policy.

He pointed out that political disputes over powers and revenue-sharing mechanisms hinder the implementation of vital projects in the oil and energy sector and create an unstable environment for foreign investors seeking clear and stable legislation.

Naghamish added that delaying the enactment of the law deprives Iraq of billions of dollars in investment opportunities annually and weakens the state's ability to transfer oil revenues into productive and development projects in the provinces. He stressed the need for the law to include clear mechanisms for financial governance, management of joint fields, and the establishment of a national fund for the  development of producing provinces.

Naghamish concluded by saying that the next phase requires a comprehensive political and economic settlement that removes the oil issue from tensions and ensures a unified law that balances the powers of the central government and the rights of the regions, transforming oil wealth from a source of contention into a lever for development and stability.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Softens Ahead of Global Central Bank Decisions

Markets brace for dovish signals as investors rotate toward risk assets.

The U.S. dollar weakened today as traders positioned ahead of a wave of major central bank meetings and a potential Trump–Xi summit that could reshape trade and monetary expectations. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) slipped modestly, reflecting a softening stance across markets anticipating looser policy conditions.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Softens Ahead of Global Central Bank Decisions

Markets brace for dovish signals as investors rotate toward risk assets.

The U.S. dollar weakened today as traders positioned ahead of a wave of major central bank meetings and a potential Trump–Xi summit that could reshape trade and monetary expectations. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) slipped modestly, reflecting a softening stance across markets anticipating looser policy conditions.

The move underscores a cautious but notable rotation into risk assets, with equities and commodities both strengthening as the dollar retreats. This trend comes amid growing consensus that global policymakers may adopt synchronized easing measures before year-end.

Central Banks in Focus

Investors are now watching closely for guidance from the Federal ReserveEuropean Central Bank, and Bank of Japan, each facing the same challenge: how to sustain slowing economies without reigniting inflation.

  • The Fed is expected to lean dovish, with futures pricing in nearly a 70% probability of another rate cut by December.

  • The ECB may emphasize continued liquidity support, while Japan could signal readiness to adjust yield-curve control settings.

The dollar’s decline reflects not just policy expectations, but also a broader shift in global capital flow — one favoring risk assets, emerging markets, and commodities.

Market Implications

  • Gold and oil prices typically strengthen when the dollar weakens, as investors hedge against currency dilution.

  • Emerging-market currencies are likely to benefit, drawing short-term inflows as yield differentials narrow.

  • Equities could see additional upside if dovish signals are confirmed — though the risk of overshoot grows with each rally.

For now, the market appears confident that monetary policy will remain accommodative. Yet the dollar’s softness also signals something deeper — a recognition that global growth is uneven and liquidity remains the main stabilizing force.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Volatility Beneath the Calm Surface

Record equity highs hide $100 billion daily swings as liquidity thins.

While U.S. equities continue to print new records, analysts warn that the calm appearance of the market may be deceptive. Beneath the surface, extreme volatility in major technology stocks and subtle liquidity cracks are emerging — conditions reminiscent of late-cycle instability.

According to The Financial Times, several mega-cap stocks have experienced single-day market-cap swings exceeding $100 billion — despite the major indices showing minimal net movement. The pattern suggests concentrated risk and heightened sensitivity to small shifts in sentiment or liquidity.

Hidden Fragility in a Bullish Market

Market indices mask the degree of turbulence occurring beneath them.

  • Tech giants dominate capitalization weightings, magnifying their impact on perceived stability.

  • Volatility metrics such as the VIX remain subdued, indicating complacency even as intraday price ranges expand.

  • Liquidity depth is thinner than in prior cycles, making sharp revaluations more likely when institutional flows reverse.

This divergence between visible calm and underlying instability is becoming a defining feature of the current bull market. Analysts describe it as “calm on the surface, chaotic underneath.”

What It Means for Investors

  • Portfolio diversification becomes essential when volatility hides beneath headline strength.

  • Options and volatility instruments may be underpriced relative to actual market risk.

  • Institutional hedging is quietly increasing, even as public sentiment remains bullish.

Such conditions often precede regime shifts — either toward sharper corrections or renewed monetary stimulus to maintain balance. The outcome will depend on central bank signaling and the sustainability of liquidity-driven rallies.

Broader Takeaway

Today’s markets operate on confidence and credit — not fundamentals alone. The surface calm of record highs belies the real state of global finance: one where volatility and liquidity risk have become the invisible twin pillars supporting valuations.

If left unchecked, even a minor policy misstep could expose just how thin that support has become.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Gyeongju APEC Summit: South Korea Bridges East and West

Diplomacy meets economics as Seoul positions itself between Washington, Beijing, and ASEAN

As the APEC Summit convenes this week in Gyeongju, South Korea, the host nation is advancing a policy of bridge diplomacy — a balancing act between the United States, China, Japan, and ASEAN nations. President Lee Jae-myung’s administration aims to transform South Korea into a neutral mediator linking advanced economies with the developing Asia-Pacific bloc.

Gyeongju APEC Summit: South Korea Bridges East and West

Diplomacy meets economics as Seoul positions itself between Washington, Beijing, and ASEAN

As the APEC Summit convenes this week in Gyeongju, South Korea, the host nation is advancing a policy of bridge diplomacy — a balancing act between the United States, China, Japan, and ASEAN nations. President Lee Jae-myung’s administration aims to transform South Korea into a neutral mediator linking advanced economies with the developing Asia-Pacific bloc.

The Core Themes

  • Economic coordination: APEC’s agenda includes digital trade frameworks, clean-energy transition, and investment in resilient supply chains.

  • Security meets commerce: Behind the scenes, the summit is expected to feature quiet talks between U.S. and Chinese delegates — a prelude to more formal trade normalization efforts.

  • ASEAN alignment: The APEC initiative directly supports ASEAN 2025, aimed at integrating Southeast Asia’s supply chains with broader Pacific trade systems.

Why It Matters

  • Diplomatic repositioning: Seoul’s bridge role reflects a shift toward multipolar diplomacy, reducing binary East-West confrontation.

  • Financial ripple effect: Integration across APEC and ASEAN could redirect capital flows from Western debt markets into infrastructure, logistics, and digital finance projects spanning Asia and Oceania.

The Strategic Link to the Financial Reset

  • As APEC and ASEAN deepen coordination, a new financial framework is emerging — one that may complement BRICS initiatives while offering an alternate venue for global investment.

  • South Korea’s diplomatic balancing act could lay the groundwork for a dual-system world, where the Western-led monetary order coexists with a new Asia-centric trade-finance nexus.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Grain Power Move: Russia’s Pilot Exchange Challenges U.S. Commodity Dominance

How a 2026 pilot could rewrite global food pricing and accelerate financial realignment.

Overview

Russia is preparing a pilot launch for the BRICS Grain Exchange by 2026 — a bold initiative aimed at breaking the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) monopoly over global grain pricing. The project, endorsed at the 2024 BRICS Summit in Kazan, has broad support from member states including India, Brazil, and China, with full implementation targeted for 2027.

The move aligns with BRICS’ broader strategy to create independent market infrastructure — reducing reliance on Western financial systems and aligning food security with de-dollarization.

Key Developments

  • Putin’s Endorsement: At the Kazan summit, President Vladimir Putin emphasized that BRICS nations produce nearly half of global grain and should therefore determine their own benchmark prices.

“The exchange will contribute to fair and predictable price indicators… and protect national markets from artificial shortages,” said Putin.

  • Strategic Scale:

    • The expanded BRICS bloc now accounts for roughly 44% of global grain production and consumption.

    • The exchange’s projected trading volume could exceed $1 trillion, according to Eduard Zernin, head of the Russian Union of Grain Exporters.

  • Technical Framework:

    • The platform will use a digital marketplace model rather than a traditional exchange format.

    • Discussions are underway to finalize settlement mechanisms — possibly using a BRICS digital currency or a gold-linked unit of account.

  • India’s Role:
    India supports the initiative as part of its drive toward food sovereignty and reduced dependence on Western commodity benchmarks. It also views the exchange as a regional export and pricing hub for farmers.

Why It Matters

  • Eroding Western Pricing Control:
    The CME and Euronext currently set nearly all global grain benchmarks — even for commodities they produce little of. This system gives the U.S. and EU indirect control over food security and inflation trends worldwide.

  • Financial Realignment:
    The BRICS Grain Exchange would represent one of the first non-Western commodity markets of scale, potentially denominated outside the dollar system.
    🌱 If successful, it could set a precedent for similar energy, metals, and digital-asset exchanges — forming the backbone of a new “BRICS Financial Architecture.”

  • De-dollarization through Commodities:
    Food and energy are the pillars of global trade. Pricing either outside the U.S. dollar would undermine the petrodollar structure and strengthen multipolar trade settlements.

  • Strategic Leverage:
    Controlling agricultural benchmarks gives BRICS new leverage in negotiating sanctions, tariffs, and trade routes — shifting power from financial centers like Chicago and London to new hubs in Kazan, Mumbai, and São Paulo.

Geopolitical Context

  • The timing coincides with U.S. tariff hikes and rising food insecurity in developing nations — both accelerating the BRICS rollout.

  • The exchange is part of a broader sovereign resilience strategy, mirroring the BRICS Pay systemNew Development Bank, and the Cross-Border Settlement Platform.

  • Analysts note that this may tighten South-South trade corridors and integrate agricultural policy into the same multipolar structure reshaping global finance.

Implications for the Global Financial Reset

  • A functioning BRICS Grain Exchange could reshape commodity-derived currency reserves, as nations peg their reserves to a new grain-based or gold-linked benchmark.

  • This could catalyze the next phase of the financial reset — where value is defined by production and real assets, not speculative capital flows.

  • It signals a systemic decoupling of East-South trade from the dollar system — the cornerstone of post-WWII financial order.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Expect Run To Gold, Not Dollars, In Coming Crisis | Matthew Piepenberg

Expect Run To Gold, Not Dollars, In Coming Crisis | Matthew Piepenberg

Liberty and Finance:  10-25-2025

Matthew Piepenburg of Von Greyerz joins Elijah K. Johnson to explain why the world is preparing for a very different kind of crisis than 2008.

Piepenburg argues that the next “uh-oh moment” in markets won’t trigger a flight to U.S. Treasuries or the dollar—but rather to gold. He contrasts views from analysts like Brent Johnson, explaining why even with a stronger DXY, gold could still rise.

Expect Run To Gold, Not Dollars, In Coming Crisis | Matthew Piepenberg

Liberty and Finance:  10-25-2025

Matthew Piepenburg of Von Greyerz joins Elijah K. Johnson to explain why the world is preparing for a very different kind of crisis than 2008.

Piepenburg argues that the next “uh-oh moment” in markets won’t trigger a flight to U.S. Treasuries or the dollar—but rather to gold. He contrasts views from analysts like Brent Johnson, explaining why even with a stronger DXY, gold could still rise.

 Piepenburg also warns against waiting for the perfect entry point, saying long-term investors should focus on wealth preservation, not short-term price moves.

The ground beneath our global economy is shifting. Whispers of a looming market correction or even a full-blown credit crisis are growing louder, prompting investors to re-evaluate their traditional safe havens.

In a recent insightful discussion hosted by Elijah K. Johnson of Liberty and Finance, Matthew Piepenberg of Von Greer’s Gold offered a compelling perspective on the future of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, in this evolving landscape.

Piepenberg’s core message is clear: we are witnessing a secular bull market in gold, a long-term trend that remains firmly intact despite any short-term price volatility. He urges investors to shift their mindset, viewing gold not as a speculative commodity to be traded on daily swings, but as a strategic store of value, an asset to be held for decades, akin to a generational inheritance of wealth.

The macroeconomic forces at play are undeniable and paint a picture that strongly favors precious metals. Soaring US debt levels, the relentless debasement of fiat currencies, and a world increasingly navigating geopolitical complexities are collectively fueling a historic pivot towards gold. The traditional safe havens – the US dollar and treasury bonds – are facing unprecedented scrutiny.

A central theme of the discussion is the erosion of the US dollar’s purchasing power. Piepenberg highlights a growing global sentiment for a move away from the dollar and towards gold. This isn’t just theoretical; it’s evidenced by the significant accumulation of gold reserves by central banks worldwide. Furthermore, the very idea of gold-backed US treasury securities is now being openly discussed, a stark indicator of the shifting monetary paradigms.

The conversation even delved into the possibility of a gold revaluation by the US Treasury. Such a move, which would significantly increase the official price of gold, could be a strategy to grapple with the nation’s mounting debt. While speculative, it underlines the growing recognition of gold’s intrinsic monetary value.

The “exorbitant privilege” the US dollar has enjoyed as the world’s reserve currency is now under a microscope. Piepenberg points out its paradoxical effects, contributing to chronic trade deficits and the offshoring of manufacturing. As this privilege wanes, a multipolar global currency system is emerging, and gold is poised to play a pivotal role within it.

This raises a critical question for investors: will the US dollar and treasuries truly remain safe havens in the face of future crises? Piepenberg argues that while they may have served this purpose in the past, gold is increasingly becoming the preferred refuge for those seeking genuine security.

For those looking to navigate these turbulent economic waters, Piepenberg offers practical advice: focus on the long-term preservation of wealth. This means prioritizing physical precious metals and measuring your financial success not in the fluctuating units of fiat currency, but in the tangible ounces and grams of gold and silver.

He encourages investors to educate themselves about the historical cycles of currency debasement and to understand the unique, time-tested attributes of gold as a monetary asset. In an era of unprecedented economic uncertainty, understanding the power and potential of precious metals is not just prudent, it’s essential for safeguarding your financial future.

Wed. 22 Oct. 2025 GCR INTEL DOSSIER | OPERATION SANDMAN IGNITED: Collapse of the US Dollar

100+ nations have (allegedly) activated a coordinated strike to collapse the dollar and trigger the Global Currency Reset. “Project Sandman” is real — a silent alliance(allegedly)  prepared to dump the U.S. dollar simultaneously, ending its reign as the world’s reserve currency overnight. Not gradually. Instant detonation.

For 50 years, the U.S. ruled through fiat counterfeiting, oil-backed deception, and military coercion. That system is(allegedly)  dying. Every sign points to the imminent trigger. When it fires, the dollar — and all assets tied to it — plunge to near-zero. Treasury markets freeze. Bonds disintegrate. The Fed loses control. This is economic warfare, not speculation.

The Operation: Over a hundred nations — from BRICS, OPEC+, ASEAN, Africa, and South America — have agreed to abandon the dollar and redirect trade into gold, local currencies, or new quantum frameworks. Their weapon is abandonment. No bombs. No armies. Just withdrawal — and the empire burns from within.

The Petrodollar Collapse: The U.S. dollar’s fake power came from oil trade deals forcing nations to buy crude in USD. That’s over. When oil producers stop demanding dollars, global demand dies instantly. Sandman’s precision strike floods markets with abandoned dollars, unleashing uncontrollable inflation and panic.

Within hours of activation: Retirement funds – gone. Stock markets – wiped. Real estate bubbles – burst. Middle class savings – destroyed.

It’s not a crash. It’s a collapse. A final act of justice after decades of dollar colonialism.

Trump’s Counterstrike: President Donald J. Trump foresaw this storm. He’s preparing the only response capable of saving America: – Reinstating a gold-backed U.S. currency – Launching a sovereign digital dollar – Cutting ties with the IMF, BIS, and WEF – Declaring economic martial law if needed

The objective: destroy the central bank cartel and restore constitutional money. This isn’t about markets — it’s about national survival.

Wed. 23 Oct. 2025 RV/GCR IGNITES: Tier 4B Shock – October 20 Breaks the Financial Dam

Tier 4B (allegedly) confirmed active. Dinar RV (allegedly) live. The Global Currency Reset has (allegedly) detonated — Sun. 20 Oct. 2025 marks the day the system(allegedly)  flipped. Trump’s financial counterstrike is no longer theory. It’s execution.

THE IRAQI GAZETTE DETONATION Today the Iraqi Gazette (allegedly) printed the Tier 4B redemption sequence — official, irreversible, world-shaking. The Central Bank of Iraq(allegedly)  released protocols for exchange centers, investor scheduling, and redemption flow. This is not rumor. This is the public green light — the one patriots waited years to see. Tier 4B means the people, not the elites. The system door has (allegedly) opened.

THE DINAR GOES LIVE The Iraqi Dinar is now (allegedly) visible on Bloomberg terminals and live trading screens worldwide — real bid/ask pricing. Mocked investors are now vindicated. The IQD has (allegedly) crossed from speculation to integration, a fully recognized financial asset watched by institutions and governments alike. This is the (allegedly) foundation stone of the GCR — the signal that the old order is collapsing.

MARKET SHOCKWAVES Major banks are (allegedly) rewriting models, compliance divisions are scrambling, and regulators are activating dormant RV protocols. Overnight, the Deep State(allegedly)  lost control of the financial board. Chaos isn’t failure — it’s the reset mechanism. The people finally have leverage, and the cabal can’t hide it.

CONTROLLED VOLATILITY Early trades are unstable — spreads wide, liquidity partial. That’s intentional. Volatility hides the hand of institutional accumulation. This chaos is the firewall protecting elite entry while scaring retail holders away. But patriots understand: disorder precedes revelation.

THE RESET BEGINS IQD activation signals a full-scale global shift. Central banks are (allegedly) realigning, USD dependency is (allegedly) crumbling, and the fiat empire is(allegedly)  bleeding. Every trade in IQD cracks the foundation of globalist control. Soros’s crowd is watching in panic — the dollar wall is fracturing.

TRUMP’S COUNTERMOVE  Trump’s alliance built the architecture behind the scenes. Starlink, Quantum channels, and sovereign clearing systems are now (allegedly) interlinked. The reset isn’t coming — it’s operational.

This is not about money — it’s about power. For the first time in modern history, that power is shifting back to the people. The lock is broken. The storm is financial. And Trump is (allegedly) holding the switch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fri. 24 Oct. 2025 THE DIGITAL RESET – THE GOOD KIND THE FUTURE OF WEALTH IS HERE

The U.S. National Debt Clock was designed to shame the system — now it’s becoming the people’s weapon. What once measured corruption now exposes the collapse of fake fiat and the birth of blockchain-backed wealth. The old system is crumbling. The new one is coded, collateralized, and (allegedly) controlled by patriots — not bankers.

THE PEOPLE’S DIGITAL REVOLUTION The Clock is transforming from a symbol of failure into the blueprint for a sovereign economy. Tokenized assets. Transparent ledgers. Real ownership. The fake elites who thrived on debt and inflation are watching their empire burn while a new economy rises — one built by the people, for the people.

TOKENIZATION – THE END OF CENTRAL CONTROL Imagine dividing a house, a farm, or a gold vault into millions of digital tokens. Each token represents real ownership. No middlemen. No corruption. This is fractional freedom — turning real assets into digital power. Every American could hold a stake in the very ground of the nation.

BLOCKCHAIN – THE TRUST MACHINE Blockchain locks every transaction into an incorruptible public record. No hidden books. No erased debts. Every movement is verified across thousands of eyes. The system they used to enslave us becomes the system that sets us free.

THE SOVEREIGN WEALTH RESERVE This is the masterstroke — a citizen-owned digital reserve backed by real U.S. assets: land, gold, real estate, infrastructure. The new currency grows 3% annually, fueled by tangible value, not printed lies. Inflation dies when money is backed by reality.

COLLATERALIZED AMERICA A Variable Asset Leveling Index tracks every physical and digital asset of the United States. Tokenized. Audited. Transparent. Every dollar becomes proof of something real. Gold-backed, land-backed, people-backed — not Fed-backed.

THE REVOLUTION FROM DEBT TO OWNERSHIP The Federal Reserve’s empire was built on illusion. This is its end. The Debt Clock now counts down not to collapse — but to liberation. The time when every citizen holds a verifiable share of their nation. No more hidden hands. No more rigged markets. No more secret owners.

Militia Man  Iraq is quietly moving into the modern financial world.  I think we all know that...We believe it's loud in our faces, but globally it really isn't.  Investment wise you can see the powerhouse data...Three things are happening at the same time.  Iraq wants to join the Bank of International Settlements, which is the club of central banks...Iraq is planning to drop three zeros from the dinar, the currency redesign...Iraq is launching a digital dinar...

Mnt Goat  I assure you of what my CBI contact told me is now all coming out in the news. It is undeniable now. So, let all the nay-sayers say what they want but this does not change the fact that we may be at the end of this RV saga and only just over a couple months to go.

Frank26   It turns out they're teaching the Iraqi citizens there is a new denomination, a new form of  currency that is coming to them to represent the new exchange rate...They're showing them the lower notes but in a very unique manner...What you're seeing is the reveal of the monetary reform lower notes but it's being done like a snail walking across the  table very slowly.  This part has to go very slowly.

Markets Poised for Structural Realignment

Trade detente and cooling inflation signal the dawn of a new financial order

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Markets Poised for Structural Realignment

Trade detente and cooling inflation signal the dawn of a new financial order

  • Global markets are entering what analysts increasingly describe as a structural turning point. Two developments — a U.S.–China trade thaw and the steady easing of inflation worldwide — are creating the conditions for a major financial realignment.

  • Together, they suggest that the turbulence of recent years may be giving way to a re-anchored global system built on pragmatic cooperation, diversified reserves, and new capital flows.

The Convergence: Trade + Inflation Reset

  • Trade optimism returns: Renewed diplomatic and economic talks between Washington and Beijing have reduced tariff fears and revived industrial demand.

  • Inflation cooling globally: Data from the U.S., Eurozone, and Asia show steady disinflation, giving policymakers room to pivot from restrictive to supportive stances.

  • Commodities and currencies reprice: Copper, oil, and industrial metals are firming; the yuan and other Asian currencies have strengthened on confidence in regional growth.

  • Investor behavior shifts: Portfolio flows are turning back toward equities and emerging markets after years of defensive positioning.

Why It Matters

  • Systemic implications: The simultaneous easing of inflation and trade tension could reset how capital moves across borders, challenging the dollar-centric dominance that defined the post-2008 era.

  • Corporate recalibration: Firms are beginning to rebuild global supply networks, reducing fragility and diversifying manufacturing bases — a structural change, not a short-term reaction.

  • Policy coordination: For the first time in years, major economies may find common ground between fiscal expansion and monetary flexibility.

In essence:

“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”

Emerging Signals of a New Order

  • Resurgent BRICS trade corridors gaining institutional depth through gold- and commodity-based settlements.

  • G7 central banks signaling gradual rate normalization while exploring multi-currency liquidity lines.

  • Digital asset integration accelerating as cross-border payment infrastructure modernizes.

These shifts suggest the world may be edging toward a blended system — one where legacy Western financial institutions coexist with new frameworks emerging from Asia and the Global South.

The Strategic Outlook

The months ahead will test whether optimism translates into sustained global rebalancing.
If trade détente endures and inflation stabilizes, the world could move toward a more multipolar but integrated financial landscape — one less dependent on unilateral policy, and more driven by pragmatic collaboration.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Riyadh Hosts Global Alliance for Palestinian Two-State Solution

Middle East diplomacy regains momentum as Saudi Arabia steps into a leadership role

Riyadh this week hosted a Global Alliance coordination summit aimed at reviving the long-stalled Palestinian–Israeli two-state framework. Co-chaired by Saudi Arabia, Norway, and the European Union, the meeting brought together over 40 diplomatic envoys to discuss humanitarian support, reconstruction, and governance planning for a potential future Palestinian state.

Diplomatic Turning Point

  • Regional leadership shift: Saudi Arabia is asserting itself as a primary diplomatic hub, reshaping the balance once dominated by Western mediators.

  • Institutional framework: The alliance proposes a standing secretariat to manage aid, infrastructure, and economic development within Palestinian territories.

  • Peace through economics: Economic stabilization is seen as a prerequisite for security — a model already tested through the Abraham Accords and Gulf diversification strategies.

Why It Matters

  • Restructuring of alliances: The Riyadh meeting signals a multipolar approach to Middle East peace, blending Western, Arab, and European participation under a shared umbrella.

  • Financial architecture in motion: A two-state economic plan would require new financing channels — likely through BRICS-linked development banks or Gulf sovereign funds — bypassing older IMF/World Bank structures.

Strategic Implications

  • If the alliance holds, the economic underpinning of peace could integrate the Middle East into a broader Eurasian trade corridor — connecting Gulf capital, Asian infrastructure, and European technology.

  • This could realign financial flows toward energy-neutral development, a key element of the emerging post-dollar financial reset.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

“The System Is Ending” - Clive Thompson’s Final Warning on Gold & Fiat Collapse

“The System Is Ending” - Clive Thompson’s Final Warning on Gold & Fiat Collapse

ITM Trading:  10-26-2025

“The System Is Ending” - Clive Thompson’s Final Warning on Gold & Fiat Collapse

ITM Trading:  10-26-2025

Clive Thompson, a former Swiss banker, shares hard-won lessons from decades on the inside: gold carried families through war, preserved wealth through collapse, and shielded everyday people through major crises.

 Now, he’s warning that the fiat system is failing, and few are prepared.

In a world buzzing with fleeting trends and digital promises, some truths remain constant, shining brighter with each passing year. One such truth, the enduring value of gold, is championed by a man whose life has been inextricably woven with this precious metal for half a century:

Clive Thompson. A seasoned expert whose career has spanned from the trading floors of London to the secure vaults of Swiss private banking, Clive offers insights that are not just theoretical, but forged in the crucible of real-world experience.

Clive’s journey with gold began not in a bustling financial district, but with a simple yet profound lesson from his grandfather. Imagine being a child, presented with a choice: ephemeral paper money, fleeting chocolate, or a gleaming gold sovereign.

This early exercise in discernment laid the foundation for Clive’s lifelong understanding: gold possessed an intrinsic worth that paper currency, a mere promise, could never truly match. It was a tangible asset, a physical representation of value, even then.

From these formative lessons, Clive’s professional life unfurled, cementing his conviction. Decades spent navigating diverse financial landscapes – from the dynamic markets of London to the strategic havens of the Cayman Islands and the meticulous world of Swiss private banking – allowed him to witness firsthand gold’s unparalleled role as a “wealth shield.”

Through crises, wars, economic upheavals, and market volatility, gold consistently acted as an unflinching guardian of wealth, preserving fortunes when other assets faltered.

He recounts stories of clients who, guided by foresight or instinct, chose gold over precarious paper assets. Their enduring legacy often became the preservation of family wealth across generations, a testament to gold’s permanence. Clive vividly remembers the 2008 financial crisis, a pivotal moment when the sudden surge in demand for physical gold overwhelmed supply. This stark reality underscores a critical lesson: the time to own gold is before the panic, not during it.

What makes gold so resilient? Clive emphasizes its fundamental properties: liquidityportability, and permanence.

Unlike the ephemeral whispers of fiat currencies, which throughout history have collapsed under the weight of their own making, gold remains. It’s a tangible asset that can be easily converted, moved, and, crucially, cannot be printed into oblivion by governments. It holds its value not by decree, but by millennia of human trust and inherent scarcity.

Clive’s insights extend beyond individual portfolios to the precarious state of the global financial system. He points to the staggering realities of soaring government debt, unchecked money printing, and inflating asset bubbles.

The pivotal moment, he argues, was the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, which unleashed a torrent of unchecked fiat currency inflation, eroding purchasing power at an accelerating rate.

He warns that the current trajectory is unsustainable. The global financial system, built on layers of debt and manufactured money, is nearing a critical juncture.

When fiat currencies inevitably lose all their value – a historical pattern that repeats itself – gold, Clive asserts, will reclaim its rightful role as real money, the bedrock of financial stability.

For Clive Thompson, gold is not merely an investment; it is a permanent, private, and tangible form of wealth. It is protection against systemic risk and a legacy for future generations. It’s about securing what’s truly valuable when the illusion of paper wealth dissipates.

In a world teetering on the edge of a financial reset, Clive’s message is clear and urgent: prepare now. Don’t wait for the inevitable.

Ready to safeguard your future and understand the enduring power of gold? Watch the full video from ITM Trading for further insights from Clive Thompson, a man whose 50 years with gold speak volumes. The wisdom of experience is invaluable – especially when it comes to the future of your wealth.

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday 10-27-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Expert: Iraqi banks are required to keep pace with cross-border payments

A banking expert confirmed that the recent development in international payment systems using the digital renminbi represents a strategic turning point in global trade, and opens new horizons for import, export and foreign loan settlements.

 Expert Faiq Al-Obaidi told (Al-Zaman) yesterday that (this development requires Iraqi banking administrations to quickly keep pace with the new system and provide intensive training on its working mechanisms, to ensure the banks' ability to deal efficiently with cross-border digital payments

Tishwash:  Expert: Iraqi banks are required to keep pace with cross-border payments

A banking expert confirmed that the recent development in international payment systems using the digital renminbi represents a strategic turning point in global trade, and opens new horizons for import, export and foreign loan settlements.

 Expert Faiq Al-Obaidi told (Al-Zaman) yesterday that (this development requires Iraqi banking administrations to quickly keep pace with the new system and provide intensive training on its working mechanisms, to ensure the banks' ability to deal efficiently with cross-border digital payments

Al-Obaidi explained that (the monetary authority is required to issue clear instructions and controls, and grant approvals to banks participating in the new system, especially since most Iraqi banks have taken the initiative to open accounts in Chinese currency Which prepares the financial infrastructure to benefit from this digital revolution).

The People's Bank of China announced that the digital renminbi (Chinese yuan) cross-border settlement system will be fully linked with the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and six countries in the Middle East.Observers believed yesterday that (38 percent of the volume of global trade will exceed the SWIFT system, which is dominated by the United States, and the system will enter directly into what they described as the digital renminbi moment).

For its part, The Economist magazine said yesterday that (this step constitutes a battle for the front bulwark of the Bretton Woods 2.0 system), adding that (blockchain-based technology is rewriting the basic code of the global economy, while increasing settlement speed and reducing costs in an unprecedented way), and explained that (the traditional SWIFT system suffers from a delay of 3 to 5 days in cross-border payments, While the Chinese digital bridge reduced the settlement time to only 7 seconds).

 In the first test between Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, a company paid a supplier in the Middle East using the digital renminbi, and the money did not pass through six intermediary banks, but was received directly through a distributed ledger, reducing processing fees by 98 percent.

In a two-country, two-park project between China and Indonesia, an industrial bank used digital renminbi to complete the first cross-border payment, and the process took just 8 seconds from order confirmation to funds arriving, 100 times faster than traditional methods.

This technical superiority prompted 23 central banks around the world to join the digital bridge test, with energy traders in the Middle East reducing settlement costs by 75 percent.

Experts confirmed yesterday that (this technical superiority made the traditional settlement system dominated by the dollar appear immediately backward, and that the technology not only allows immediate tracking, but also automatically applies anti-money laundering rules), and they pointed out that (China is gradually building its financial sovereignty), and they added (when the United States tried to impose sanctions on Iran through the SWIFT system, China had already established a closed loop of renminbi payments in Southeast Asia.

The volume of cross-border settlement in renminbi in ASEAN countries amounted to more than 5.8 trillion yuan in 2024, an increase of 120 percent compared to 2021, while ix countries, including Malaysia and Singapore, included the renminbi in their foreign currency reserves, and Thailand completed its first oil deal using the digital renminbi.

According to the circulated data, (the wave of eliminating the dominance of the dollar prompted the Bank for International Settlements to say that China is redefining the rules of the game in the era of digital currencies), and the data pointed out that (the digital renminbi is not just a payment tool, but rather carries the Chinese Belt and Road strategy), stressing that (in projects such as the China-Laos Railway and the Jakarta-Bandung Railway, the digital renminbi has been integrated with the navigation system),

Emphasizing that (European car companies use the digital renminbi to settle shipping via the polar route, while China increases trade efficiency by 400 percent), and pointing out that (this strategy makes the dominance of the US dollar systematically threatened for the first time), the data stressed that (87 percent of the world's countries have completed adapting their systems to the digital renminbi, and the volume of cross-border payments has exceeded 1.$2 trillion, and China has built a digital payments network covering 200 countries, concluding that this silent financial revolution is not just monetary sovereignty, but determines who controls the lifeblood of the global economy in the future.  link
