Tishwash: CBI Says China and India Account for Half of Iraq's Foreign Trade

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) announced on Thursday that trade with China and India now accounts for approximately 50 percent of the country’s total foreign trade.

In a statement, the CBI said Iraq’s trade volume with China reached $58.035 billion last year, while trade with India amounted to $31.102 billion.

Türkiye was also among Iraq’s key trading partners, with bilateral trade valued at $20.786 billion. The United States followed with $8.952 billion, while trade with South Korea stood at $7.661 billion and the United Arab Emirates at $5.307 billion.

In a statement, the CBI said Iraq’s trade volume with China reached $58.035 billion last year, while trade with India amounted to $31.102 billion.

Greece recorded trade worth $4.599 billion with Iraq, while Saudi Arabia ranked next with $2.771 billion.

The figures highlight Iraq’s growing economic ties with Asian markets, particularly China and India, which together dominate the country’s external trade. link

Tishwash: Uzbekistan and Iraq Discuss Expanding Trade and Economic Cooperation

During a working visit to the Republic of Iraq, Shohruh Gulamov, Deputy Minister of Investment, Industry and Trade (MIIT) of Uzbekistan, held a series of bilateral meetings with the heads of key state bodies and business structures of Iraq and took part in the Uzbekistan–Iraq Business Forum in Baghdad.

In talks with Juma Al-Bahadli, Deputy Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources; Ghassan Hamid, Deputy Minister of Trade for Economic Affairs; Salar Muhammad Amin, Deputy Chairman of the National Investment Commission; Adil Al-Aqqab, Head of the Iraqi Industrialists’ Union; and Ibrahim Al-Baghdadi, Chairman of the Economic Council of Iraq, the sides discussed ways to expand trade and economic cooperation.

The discussions covered measures to remove trade and regulatory barriers, optimise tariffs on priority Uzbek goods, speed up certification procedures, and develop logistics based on regional transport hubs.

Particular focus was given to prospects for increasing the export of construction materials, textiles, carpets, food products and jewellery, as well as enabling Uzbek companies to enter the Iraqi market.

Speaking at the business forum, organised with the support of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Iraq and the Economic Council of Iraq, Shohruh Gulamov emphasised that trade is a priority for deepening economic partnership and highlighted the significant untapped potential of bilateral trade.

Cooperation opportunities in industry and mineral resources were also discussed, including the establishment of joint ventures, raw material processing, supplies of refined metals, and engineering services and equipment.

The forum brought together more than 150 representatives of Iraqi state bodies and businesses, as well as 25 leading Uzbek companies from the food, textile, pharmaceutical, electrical engineering, furniture and construction materials sectors. Participants were familiarised with Uzbekistan’s investment climate and export potential, while B2B meetings and an exhibition of Uzbek products were held on the sidelines.

Following the visit, the Iraqi side was invited to consider holding the first meeting of the Uzbekistan–Iraq Joint Economic Committee and the next business forum in Uzbekistan. link

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

Tishwash: In a first-of-its-kind move, customs announces the success of the first fully integrated international crossing.

The General Authority of Customs announced today, Thursday, that it received transit trucks subject to the International Transport System (TIR) carried on roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ships at the port of Umm Qasr, in a step that is the first of its kind within the transit routes that pass through Iraqi territory.

The authority stated in a statement followed by “Iraq Observer”, that “the operation comes within the efforts to activate the international TIR agreement and enhance Iraq’s capabilities in managing multimodal transport operations, in line with the state’s plans to develop the transit sector and expand regional and international trade routes.”

The authority added in its statement that “after completing the necessary customs procedures, the trucks continued their overland journey towards Turkey and Syria, coming from the ports of the United Arab Emirates, in an indication of the readiness of the infrastructure of Iraqi ports and their ability to receive and operate advanced logistical transport patterns.”

The authority confirmed that the integration of the RORO transport mechanism with the TIR system achieves a number of operational and economic benefits, including accelerating transit movement, reducing handling time, lowering costs for transport and trading companies, as well as raising the levels of efficiency and safety in the transport of goods.

She pointed out that “this type of operation contributes to maximizing revenues, stimulating the national economy, and revitalizing transit traffic through Iraq.” link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

China Condemns Israel’s Somaliland Recognition as Red Sea Tensions Escalate

Beijing warns of geopolitical and maritime fallout amid displacement concerns

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

China Condemns Israel’s Somaliland Recognition as Red Sea Tensions Escalate

Beijing warns of geopolitical and maritime fallout amid displacement concerns

Overview

China publicly condemned Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as an independent state
Beijing views the move as a threat to regional stability and maritime security
Concerns center on forced Palestinian displacement and strategic control of Red Sea routes
Egypt aligned with China in supporting Somalia’s territorial integrity

Key Developments

Israel became the first UN member state to recognize Somaliland
Diplomatic relations were established, including plans for ambassador exchanges
Cooperation reportedly includes maritime security, intelligence, and surveillance
Somaliland declared full control of its airspace in late 2025
China and Egypt reaffirmed support for Somalia’s government in Mogadishu
Beijing warned the move could destabilize the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and Gulf of Aden

Why It Matters

This development underscores how diplomacy, security, and trade routes are now inseparable. Control of strategic chokepoints like the Bab el-Mandeb directly impacts global shipping, energy flows, and insurance risk. China’s reaction signals that maritime dominance — not just territory — is becoming a primary front in geopolitical competition, accelerating global fragmentation.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, Red Sea instability raises settlement, trade, and valuation risk. Disruptions to shipping lanes directly affect commodity pricing, inflation, and balance-of-payment stability. As geopolitical pressure shifts trade routes and alliances, currencies tied to secure logistics corridors and energy access gain importance, while those exposed to chokepoint risk face repricing.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Maritime Control Equals Financial Power
Strategic waterways now determine trade reliability, insurance costs, and currency demand.
Pillar: Diplomacy Reshaping Trade Corridors
Recognition and alliance decisions increasingly redraw global supply chains and settlement routes.

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

BRICS 2025: De-Dollarization Advances as Gold Reserves Surge

Expanded bloc accelerates monetary hedging while stopping short of replacing the dollar

Overview

The expanded BRICS bloc now includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, UAE, and Indonesia
Member nations account for nearly half of the world’s population and a significant share of global GDP
De-dollarization efforts focus on local currency trade and alternative payment systems
Gold accumulation by BRICS central banks reached record levels in 2025
Internal divisions limit momentum toward a single BRICS-backed currency

Key Developments

BRICS+ membership expansion reflects a push toward a multipolar financial system
Russia and India publicly reaffirmed they are not seeking to replace the U.S. dollar
BRICS central banks added nearly 800 metric tonnes of gold in 2025
Combined BRICS gold reserves now exceed 6,000 tonnes, representing over 20% of global central bank holdings
Russia and China together hold roughly three-quarters of the bloc’s gold reserves
Gold prices surged to approximately $4,400 per ounce amid sustained central bank buying
BRICS Pay continues development as a blockchain-based payment messaging system
The bloc launched a pilot of the “Unit”, a basket-backed settlement instrument for wholesale trade
A new precious metals exchange was announced to facilitate non-dollar trade in physical metals

Why It Matters

BRICS is not dismantling the dollar system outright — it is building insurance against it. By expanding membership, accumulating gold, and developing parallel settlement mechanisms, the bloc is reducing exposure to sanctions, currency volatility, and Western-controlled financial rails. This layered approach signals a gradual restructuring of global finance rather than a sudden rupture.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, BRICS’ strategy reinforces a critical trend: monetary power is shifting toward assets and settlement access, not rhetoric. Gold accumulation and alternative payment infrastructure reduce dependence on reserve currencies while protecting national balance sheets. As reserve diversification accelerates, fiat currencies lacking commodity backing or trade relevance face long-term repricing risk.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Gold as Strategic Collateral
Central banks are reasserting gold as a neutral reserve asset amid currency weaponization.
Pillar: Parallel Payment Architecture
The creation of non-Western settlement systems reduces reliance on dollar-based rails without triggering immediate disruption.

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

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.
You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

The Ripple Beneath the Song

In 1970, @GratefulDead released a song that sounded like a lullaby and moved like a prayer. @Ripple. “If I knew the way, I would take you home.” It didn’t preach. It pointed. A compass without a map – truth carried on water.

Forty-two years later, on June 2, 2012, a quiet line of code came alive. XRP.

Rob Cunningham: The Ripple Beneath the Song

12-26-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show @KuwlShow

Forty-two years later, on June 2, 2012, a quiet line of code came alive. XRP. No press tour. No parades. Just a ledger built for flow – value moving like water, not trapped in dams. Those who noticed felt the rhyme before they could explain it.

Songs don’t predict.
They recognize.

Lawfare, Fire, and the Test of Purity

When the system felt threatened, the noise arrived. ETHGate whispers. Selective enforcement. Years of SEC lawfare against Ripple Labs.
Not because XRP was a security – but because clarity itself is dangerous to toll collectors.

Then the quiet thunder: the DOJ affirmed XRP is not a security. Not spin. Not opinion. A jurisdictional line drawn where math met law.

The ledger held. The water kept moving.

The Proper Party

While headlines argued, reality gathered elsewhere. A proper party in New York—music, culture, capital—where artists and architects mingled. @LennyKravitz played it cool. No speeches. Just signal. History often turns in rooms where no one is live-tweeting.

From Palm Trees to Policy

At Mar-a-Lago, a different kind of accord took shape – not inked on parchment, but aligned in principle. Sovereign clarity over shadow games. Compliance without capture.

Enter RLUSD, aligned under New York Department of Financial Services, paired with XRP for lawful, instant settlement. Not rebellion – reformation.

Soon after:

A Strategic Digital Asset Reserve, with XRP under U.S. Treasury jurisdiction.

ISO 20022 compatibility – global rails speaking one language.

Ripple’s Bank Charter – from outsider to institution.

@The_DTCC recognition – plumbing meets protocol.

Water, meeting its riverbanks.

Clarity on the Horizon

As the Clarity Act and Market Structure legislation advance – guided by leaders like David Sachs & Patrick Witt – the pattern sharpens. Not coincidence. Convergence.

The song.
The code.
The trials.
The rulings.
The institutions.

All pointing the same way.

Coda

Ripple never promised riches. It promised direction.
And XRP never asked for belief – only for the math to be checked.

If you listen closely, the song is still playing.
The water is still moving.
And if you know the way…
it might finally be taking us home.

Imminent Monetization of Gold

Imminent Monetization of Gold

Palisades Gold Radio: 12-26-2025

In a compelling and eye-opening episode of Palisades Gold Radio, Brett Rentmeester, Founder and Managing Director of Winrock Wealth Management, delivers a sobering yet insightful analysis of the deep structural imbalances threatening the global economic order.

What emerges from his in-depth discussion is not just a critique of current monetary policy—but a warning that we are approaching a pivotal inflection point in history, one where the foundations of trust, value, and institutional credibility are being tested like never before.

At the heart of Rentmeester’s argument lies a fundamental shift that reshaped the global economy: the severing of the U.S. dollar from the gold standard in the early 1970s.

Imminent Monetization of Gold

Palisades Gold Radio: 12-26-2025

At the heart of Rentmeester’s argument lies a fundamental shift that reshaped the global economy: the severing of the U.S. dollar from the gold standard in the early 1970s.

What seemed at the time like a technical adjustment to monetary policy has, over five decades, evolved into a systemic experiment in fiat finance—one that may have reached its limits.

By removing the anchor of gold, central banks gained unprecedented freedom to create money. The result? Decades of escalating debt, rampant money supply expansion, and a steady erosion of purchasing power.

Workers have seen their real wages stagnate or decline, even as asset prices—especially financial assets—have soared. This divergence has not only widened inequality but also undermined faith in the very institutions meant to steward economic stability.

“Money no longer represents stored value,” Rentmeester observes. “It represents a claim on future productivity—productivity that may never materialize given the weight of accumulated debt.”

Rentmeester frames today’s challenges within a broader historical context, drawing on Neil Howe’s influential Fourth Turning theory. According to this cyclical model, societies pass through four distinct phases—High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis—roughly every 80 to 90 years.

We are now deep within a Crisis phase, a period in which outdated institutions collapse under the weight of new realities, and a new social order begins to form.

We see the signs everywhere: political polarization, institutional distrust, economic fragility, and growing public frustration. Key systems like healthcare and education have become prohibitively expensive while delivering diminishing returns. Social safety nets, built during eras of robust population growth and productivity, are now straining under the pressure of aging demographics and declining birth rates.

As Rentmeester notes, “You can’t promise lifetime benefits to retirees if there aren’t enough workers to fund them. The math no longer works.”

Perhaps the most alarming trend Rentmeester identifies is the growing disconnect between debt and the real assets that back it. Governments across the developed world—particularly the U.S., Europe, Japan, and even China—are piling on debt at an unsustainable pace. Yet, there’s a dangerous illusion that this can continue indefinitely.

“We’re nearing debt saturation,” he warns. “At some point, markets stop believing that debt can be serviced or inflated away. When that happens, confidence evaporates—and with it, the value of fiat currencies.”

In response, central banks are quietly shifting strategy. A surge in gold purchases by central banks around the world—particularly in China, India, and Russia—suggests a quiet but profound revaluation of what constitutes “money.”

Meanwhile, the rise of blockchain technology has birthed new forms of value storage: tokenized gold, stablecoins, and digital asset platforms that could redefine trust and transparency in finance.

Are we witnessing the early stages of a new monetary foundation—one backed not by political decree, but by tangible assets and decentralized verification?

For investors, the message is clear: hedge against uncertainty. Rentmeester advocates for a diversified portfolio that includes exposure to real, tangible assets—not just traditional equities and bonds.

“The goal isn’t to predict the future,” he says. “It’s to build a portfolio that can survive multiple futures.”

Could China replace the U.S. dollar as the world’s dominant reserve currency? Rentmeester is skeptical. While China has made strides in internationalizing the yuan and accumulating gold, it faces its own deep challenges—demographic decline, a debt-fueled property crisis, and rigid political structures that may hinder adaptation.

Instead, he envisions a multipolar monetary system—one where no single currency reigns supreme, and value is anchored in a basket of assets, including gold, silver, energy, and perhaps even digital currencies backed by real-world collateral.

With systemic stress comes the risk of rising global conflict, as nations compete for resources, influence, and stability. But Rentmeester stops short of fatalism. He believes that technological innovation—especially in finance and energy—could provide the tools for coordination and renewal.

“The same forces that destabilize can also empower,” he notes. “Blockchain, decentralized identity, green energy tech—these aren’t just innovations. They’re potential building blocks for a more resilient, transparent, and inclusive system.”

Brett Rentmeester’s message is urgent but not hopeless. We are living through a period of profound transformation—one that demands awareness, preparedness, and courage.

The old paradigms of infinite growth, perpetual debt, and unquestioned institutional trust are fracturing. What comes next depends not just on policymakers, but on individuals making informed choices about how they earn, save, invest, and prepare.

As we stand at the edge of a new era, one truth becomes clear: money must once again represent real value. Whether we arrive at that future through crisis or conscious reform remains to be seen.

For those seeking to understand the forces shaping our financial future, Rentmeester’s insights on Palisades Gold Radio offer a crucial roadmap—one that every investor, policymaker, and citizen would do well to study.

Watch the full interview on Palisades Gold Radio for a deeper dive into Brett Rentmeester’s analysis of debt, gold, generational cycles, and the future of money.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Russia Pulls Back FX Support as Energy Revenues Tighten

Central bank shifts strategy as sanctions, war costs, and reserve pressures mount

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Russia Pulls Back FX Support as Energy Revenues Tighten

Central bank shifts strategy as sanctions, war costs, and reserve pressures mount

Overview

Russia’s central bank announced a significant reduction in foreign exchange sales beginning in 2026
The move limits direct support for the ruble and signals tighter reserve management
Energy revenues continue to weaken under sanctions and discounted export pricing
The decision reflects longer-term financial strain rather than short-term volatility

Key Developments

The Central Bank of Russia will cut its FX market interventions by roughly 30%
Reduced forex sales mean less artificial support for the ruble
Budget pressures are rising as oil and gas revenues underperform
Domestic financing and internal liquidity controls are replacing external buffers
This aligns with Russia’s broader pivot away from Western financial systems

Why It Matters

Russia’s retreat from active currency defense underscores a deeper shift underway in global finance. As sanctions persist and energy income tightens, Moscow is conserving reserves and accepting currency volatility as a strategic tradeoff. This reinforces global fragmentation, where countries prioritize sovereignty over stability, accelerating the breakdown of a single dominant monetary order.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, this development highlights how state-backed currency support is no longer guaranteed. When major economies allow currencies to float under pressure, it exposes the fragility of fiat systems tied to debt, energy revenues, and political risk. It reinforces why diversification, asset-backed value, and reset-linked currencies remain central themes as monetary discipline replaces intervention.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Currency Realignment
Reduced FX intervention signals acceptance of repricing and volatility as systems transition away from artificial stability.
Pillar: Reserve Preservation Over Market Confidence
Nations are choosing internal survival and long-term leverage over defending external perceptions.

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

EU Extends Russia Sanctions as Peace Talks Stall

Economic pressure remains central to diplomacy and financial realignment

Overview

The European Union formally extended broad economic sanctions on Russia into mid-2026
Measures continue to target energy, banking, technology, and trade
The extension comes despite intermittent diplomatic signals around peace discussions
Sanctions are now entrenched as a long-term policy tool rather than a temporary response

Key Developments

The EU Council approved the sanctions rollover with near-unanimous support
Restrictions on financial institutions and cross-border settlements remain in place
Energy trade limitations continue to distort global supply routes
Technology and dual-use export bans stay intact
Russia and aligned partners accelerate non-Western trade and payment mechanisms

Why It Matters

The continued use of sanctions as a standing economic weapon signals that financial systems are now inseparable from diplomacy. Rather than isolating conflict, sanctions are reshaping global trade corridors, forcing parallel systems to emerge. This entrenched pressure prolongs fragmentation and reinforces the shift toward a multipolar economic order.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, prolonged sanctions highlight a critical reality: access, convertibility, and settlement matter as much as face value. Assets tied to sanction-exposed systems can become illiquid overnight. This environment favors currencies and assets aligned with emerging settlement frameworks, commodity backing, and neutral trade corridors as the reset advances.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Financial Fragmentation
Sanctions accelerate the division between Western-centric and alternative financial systems.
Pillar: Payments Over Politics
Control of settlement rails is becoming more powerful than military leverage.

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

Trade Protectionism Rises as Global Growth Fractures

India’s export outlook reveals deeper shifts in trade, debt, and diplomacy

Overview

India’s exports are projected to grow modestly into the next fiscal year
Global demand remains uneven amid rising protectionist policies
Climate-linked trade rules and tariffs are reshaping access to markets
Export performance is increasingly tied to geopolitical alignment

Key Developments

India’s exports are forecast to approach $850 billion despite global headwinds
Trade growth is constrained by tariffs, sanctions spillover, and regulatory barriers
Climate and carbon-based trade rules are becoming de facto economic weapons
Developing nations face tighter access to Western markets
Trade blocs are strengthening internal settlement and bilateral agreements

Why It Matters

Trade is no longer a neutral economic function — it is a strategic instrument. As protectionism replaces globalization, countries are forced to choose partners, payment systems, and standards. This realignment reshapes growth trajectories, debt sustainability, and diplomatic leverage, accelerating the transition away from a single global trade framework.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, fragmented trade means unequal currency demand and repricing risk. Currencies tied to shrinking trade corridors weaken, while those embedded in growing regional trade networks gain relevance. This environment favors currencies linked to production, commodities, and settlement access rather than financial reputation alone.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Trade Corridor Realignment
Global commerce is reorganizing around regional blocs rather than global openness.
Pillar: Regulation as Economic Control
Standards, climate rules, and tariffs are replacing tariffs alone as trade barriers.

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

Markets Surge as Rate Cut Expectations Clash With Global Risk

Asset prices rise even as debt, war, and monetary strain intensify

Overview

Global equity markets pushed to record highs, led by U.S. indices
Investors are pricing in future rate cuts despite persistent inflation pressures
Precious metals strengthened alongside equities, signaling hedging behavior
Markets appear increasingly disconnected from geopolitical and fiscal realities

Key Developments

U.S. stock indices rallied on expectations of looser monetary policy ahead
Central banks face mounting pressure from debt servicing costs
Gold and silver advanced as investors quietly hedge systemic risk
Capital continues flowing into technology and AI-driven sectors
Sovereign debt levels remain historically elevated despite market optimism

Why It Matters

This divergence between market optimism and underlying structural stress reflects a late-stage cycle dynamic. Asset inflation is being driven less by productivity and more by liquidity expectations. As debt loads grow and monetary flexibility narrows, markets are increasingly sensitive to confidence shocks — a key precursor to systemic reset events.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, record markets signal valuation risk rather than strength. When equities rise alongside precious metals, it suggests capital is hedging against currency debasement. This reinforces the importance of positioning ahead of currency repricing, especially as central banks prioritize debt sustainability over currency purchasing power.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Asset Repricing
Markets are inflating ahead of structural realignment, increasing the scale of future adjustments.
Pillar: Debt Supremacy Over Currency Stability
Monetary policy is increasingly dictated by debt burdens rather than inflation control.

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

Are the Banks About to Close? What You Need to Know About December 26, 2025

There is growing chatter that banks may not open tomorrow December 26 and the reason has nothing to do with the holidays. Many insiders believe the real cause is tied to an unfolding crisis in the silver market that is spiraling out of control.

Paul Gold Eagle: Are the Banks about to Close?

12-25-2025

Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle

While mainstream news remains silent, behind the scenes it appears that multiple banks are facing a physical silver shortage they cannot cover.

Eight major financial institutions are reportedly sitting on $891 billion in paper silver shorts. To stay afloat they would need to buy approximately 400 billion ounces of physical silver.

That is impossible. Why? Because the total global supply available is estimated to be under 460 million ounces. There is not enough silver on Earth to fulfill these contracts.

This is why many believe the banking system is being cornered and forced to either default or shut down temporarily.

But if banks do close tomorrow it will not be publicly blamed on silver. Expect a cover story. They might cite a cyberattack a national security threat or a technical update. These are often used to mask systemic problems and maintain public calm.

If the banks do not close tomorrow that does not mean the crisis is over. It simply means the powers behind the scenes are buying more time. But the damage is already done.

The silver market has entered a phase where paper manipulation can no longer suppress true value. Physical silver is being drained at record speed and premiums are rising worldwide.

Those holding silver understand its real energy and spiritual value. Fiat currency is collapsing. When it all flips people will no longer ask what silver is worth in dollars. They will ask what a dollar is worth in silver. That moment is coming fast.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow stay grounded. Trust your instincts. If you see a sudden wave of ATM outages or payment failures do not panic.

This may be part of the global reset to transition into a new financial system that honors truth energy and value backed by real assets.

Keep your silver close and your discernment closer. We are moving through the storm into something far greater.

Ukraine Launches Christmas Storm Shadow Missile Strike on Russia

Energy infrastructure targeted as Kyiv intensifies economic pressure on Moscow

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Ukraine Launches Christmas Storm Shadow Missile Strike on Russia

Energy infrastructure targeted as Kyiv intensifies economic pressure on Moscow

Overview

Ukraine confirmed a successful long-range strike on Russia’s Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery using British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles.
The refinery is a key supplier of diesel and jet fuel to Russian military operations.
The strike occurred amid escalating energy-for-energy retaliation between Moscow and Kyiv.

Key Developments

Ukrainian forces reported multiple explosions at the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Russia’s Rostov region, with damage still being assessed.
Kyiv also struck the Temryuk seaport in Krasnodar, damaging oil storage tanks used to supply Russian military logistics.
Additional attacks were reported against a military airfield in Adygea, where Ukrainian forces confirmed a fire following impact.
Russian officials claimed air defenses intercepted dozens of Ukrainian drones near Volgograd, a region hosting a major Lukoil refinery.

Why It Matters

Ukraine’s sustained targeting of Russian oil and fuel infrastructure directly attacks the financial backbone of Moscow’s war effort. Energy exports remain one of Russia’s primary revenue streams, and repeated disruptions raise costs, complicate logistics, and amplify pressure on global energy markets already strained by geopolitical instability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Energy disruptions ripple quickly through currency markets, particularly for nations exposed to oil-linked trade balances. Sustained attacks on Russian refining capacity can increase volatility in energy pricing, influence inflation expectations, and accelerate reserve diversification strategies among countries seeking insulation from conflict-driven supply shocks.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Energy as Financial Leverage — Control and disruption of energy infrastructure continues to shape global power alignment and currency confidence.
Pillar: Militarization of Supply Chains — Strategic assets are increasingly treated as battlefield targets, reinforcing the shift toward resilient, regionalized systems.

This is not just a battlefield escalation — it’s economic warfare reshaping global energy and financial stability.

BRICS Use Gold to Challenge Dollar Hegemony
Gold-backed reserves reshape power without firing a shot

Overview:

BRICS nations collectively control nearly half of global gold production, reinforcing monetary independence.
Central banks purchased roughly 800 metric tonnes of gold in 2025, valued near $105 billion.
Gold prices surged above $4,400 per ounce, driven by sovereign accumulation and de-dollarization pressure.

Key Developments:

BRICS gold reserves now exceed 6,000 tonnes, representing roughly 20–21% of global central bank holdings.
Brazil resumed gold purchases in late 2025, adding 16 tonnes after a multi-year pause.
Russia and China now settle roughly 90–95% of bilateral trade in local currencies, bypassing dollar rails.
The BRICS “Unit” prototype launched in late 2025, backed 40% by physical gold and 60% by member currencies, establishing a gold-anchored trade benchmark.

Why It Matters:
Gold is no longer a passive reserve asset — it is re-emerging as an active settlement and trust mechanism. For foreign currency holders, this signals a structural shift away from dollar-centric liquidity toward asset-backed credibility. As more trade moves into gold-supported frameworks, demand for fiat reserves weakens while physical assets gain strategic importance.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders:

As BRICS nations shift trade and reserves toward gold-backed and local-currency settlement, foreign currency holders face a changing landscape of liquidity, demand, and valuation. Reduced reliance on the U.S. dollar in commodity trade weakens automatic dollar recycling, increasing volatility across foreign exchange markets.

Implications for the Global Reset:

Pillar 1: Monetary Sovereignty — Gold-backed reserves allow nations to conduct trade without exposure to U.S. financial leverage.
Pillar 2: Infrastructure Over Ideology — BRICS is not confronting the dollar directly; it is routing around it with settlement systems anchored in tangible value.

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

Tishwash: The Iraqi Gazette publishes the presidential decree calling for Parliament to convene on the 29th of this month.

The Director General of the Iraqi Gazette Department, Ms. Haifa Shukr Mahmoud, said, “The issue included the publication of Republican Decree No. (54) of 2025, which included the invitation of the elected House of Representatives in its sixth session to convene on Monday, December 29, 2025, and the session shall be chaired by the oldest member.”

Tishwash: Judicial Council: The first session of Parliament must elect the President and his two deputies... and a warning

Zidane's meeting with the oldest speaker of parliament

The President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Dr. Faiq Zaidan, met with the oldest Speaker of Parliament, during which they discussed the constitutional requirements for holding the first session of Parliament, including the necessity of electing the Speaker of Parliament and his two deputies, while emphasizing the need to adhere to the constitutional texts and respect the legal deadlines, and warning against any contrary interpretation that is considered an explicit constitutional violation that may hinder the formation of the legislative and executive authorities.

The President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Dr. Faiq Zaidan, received today, Wednesday, December 24, 2025, Member of Parliament Amer Al-Fayez, who will preside over the session of Parliament on December 29, 2025, as he is the oldest member.

The Speaker of the Council stressed the importance of respecting and applying the constitutional texts as they are stated in the Constitution and not interpreting the texts with baseless interpretations, as Articles (54 and 55) of the Constitution explicitly stipulate the election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and his two deputies in the first session of the new Council, and any interpretation to the contrary is a clear constitutional violation that opens the door to other violations that hinder the formation of the legislative and executive authorities within the constitutional deadlines. link

Tishwash: The Central Bank of Syria sets the beginning of next year as the date for starting the currency exchange.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, Abdul Qader Hasriya, has set the beginning of next year as the date for the start of replacing the old currency with a new one, according to what was published on his official Facebook page on Thursday.

The governor wrote, "January 1, 2026 is the date for the start of the replacement process. The executive regulations will be issued."

A presidential decree related to the issuance of the new Syrian currency granted the Central Bank powers "to determine the deadlines for exchange and its centers," according to what the governor published, confirming that executive instructions and an explanation of the mechanisms will be issued at a press conference to be held next Sunday.

In August, the governor revealed that his country intends to replace the banknotes in circulation with new ones that remove two zeros from them, explaining that six new denominations will be printed from various sources.

Improving the exchange rate of the Syrian pound is one of the most prominent financial challenges in Syria after the overthrow of ousted President Bashar al-Assad on December 8.

Before the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, the dollar was worth about fifty liras, before the currency gradually collapsed and lost more than ninety percent of its value.

Syrians are forced to carry large amounts of banknotes in their bags or plastic bags to meet their needs. The 5,000 Syrian pound note is currently the highest denomination in circulation.

According to the governor, the central bank intends to print six new denominations, explaining that for logistical reasons and to meet demand, the printing will be done at two or three sources.

Following the outbreak of the conflict and under the economic sanctions imposed on the previous regime, Syrian banknotes were printed exclusively in Russia, which was an ally of Assad and to which he turned as opposition factions advanced on Damascus late last year.

The exchange rate has recently fluctuated between 10,000 and 11,000 against the dollar, whereas it hovered around 15,000 in the months preceding Assad's downfall. link

Germany Is Breaking: €1 Trillion in Debt, NO Growth, and an Economic Collapse

Germany Is Breaking: €1 Trillion in Debt, NO Growth, and an Economic Collapse

Lena Petrova: 12-25-2025

Germany was once the undisputed economic engine of Europe — defined by industrial dominance, export power, and ironclad fiscal discipline. That era is over.

In this video, we break down why Germany is still trapped in a multi-year recession, why massive debt spending isn’t delivering growth, and why institutions like the Bundesbank and IMF are warning that the country faces something far more dangerous than a short downturn: long-term stagnation.

Germany Is Breaking: €1 Trillion in Debt, NO Growth, and an Economic Collapse

Lena Petrova: 12-25-2025

Germany was once the undisputed economic engine of Europe — defined by industrial dominance, export power, and ironclad fiscal discipline. That era is over.

This week, the Bundesbank delivered a sobering forecast. Germany is not expected to return to pre-recession GDP levels until late 2026, meaning at least four years of lost economic momentum in Europe’s largest economy — despite nearly €1 trillion in new debt-funded spending focused on infrastructure and defense.

Even worse, growth projections have been slashed, with 2026 growth now estimated at just 0.6%. We explore:

Why Germany’s debt-fueled recovery is failing

How the budget deficit is set to hit levels not seen since reunification

Why rising debt isn’t translating into productivity or competitiveness

The impact of high energy costs, weak industrial demand, and global competition

IMF warnings about demographics, shrinking labor supply, and structural decline

Why militarization and short-term political spending won’t fix Germany’s economy

Germany still has fiscal room — but not unlimited time. Without deep structural reforms, productivity gains, and economic modernization, the country risks a slow, painful decline that will reshape not just Germany, but the entire European economy.

The Gold Story That Predicted 2025’s Biggest Moves

The Gold Story That Predicted 2025’s Biggest Moves |

Kitco News Highlights 2025 : 12-23-2025

Back in February 2025, before a record-breaking gold price surge, veteran market analyst Peter Grandich, founder of PeterGrandich.com, warned that the U.S. and global financial system were heading into a historic shift.

This interview revisits those key moments as the year draws to a close. At the time, more than 12.5 million ounces of gold had reportedly moved from London into U.S. vaults, a flow that drew global attention and added pressure to London inventories.

The Gold Story That Predicted 2025’s Biggest Moves |

Kitco News Highlights 2025 : 12-23-2025

Grandich outlined why renewed calls for a Fort Knox audit were gaining momentum, why some analysts were discussing the possibility of a revaluation of U.S. gold reserves, and why central banks were continuing to accelerate their long-running shift away from the dollar.

Since then, gold has surged to all-time highs, several major central banks have increased their official gold holdings, and public debate around U.S. gold transparency has grown louder.

In Washington, the Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025 was introduced, aiming to require a full physical audit and assay of America’s gold reserves, including Fort Knox.

As of late 2025, no comprehensive public audit has been completed, and the issue remains a major point of political and market attention.

Many of the broader risks Grandich highlighted earlier in the year remain front and center, including rising sovereign debt, geopolitical realignment, and intensifying competition over reserve assets.

Merry Christmas Dinar Recaps,

Kim Jong Un Inspects Submarine Construction, Then Oversees Missile Launch

Pyongyang advances strategic military capabilities amid rising regional tensions

Merry Christmas Dinar Recaps,

Kim Jong Un Inspects Submarine Construction, Then Oversees Missile Launch

Pyongyang advances strategic military capabilities amid rising regional tensions

Overview:

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un personally inspected the construction of an 8,700-ton nuclear-powered submarine and oversaw a missile test on December 24–25, 2025, according to state media and official reports.
The submarine project is part of a broader campaign to modernize the North’s navy, with plans for multiple attack destroyers and strategic submarines.
The missile test, conducted near the East Sea, reportedly saw long-range surface-to-air missiles hit targets approximately 200 kilometers away.

Key Developments:

Kim Jong Un observed construction of a submarine with an 8,700-ton displacement and a likely nuclear reactor, which North Korean media claims is nearing operational status.
The associated missile test was aimed at refining strategic technologies for high-altitude and long-range missile systems.
Pyongyang criticized South Korea’s cooperation with the United States on its own nuclear-powered submarine program, calling it a threat to security.
North Korean state media also condemned the recent docking of a U.S. nuclear submarine in South Korea and accused Japan of pursuing nuclear ambitions, heightening regional rhetoric.

Why It Matters:

North Korea’s dual focus on expanding its naval nuclear infrastructure and testing advanced missile systems represents a significant escalation in the military balance of the Korean Peninsula. These developments signal Pyongyang’s intent to project power beyond its borders and strengthen deterrence against regional adversaries.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders:

Heightened military activity in Northeast Asia can influence market risk sentiment, currency stability, and capital flows. Investors often reprice assets and shift into traditional safe havens like gold or U.S. Treasury securities during periods of intensified geopolitical risk. Currencies of countries directly exposed to regional tensions — including Japan, South Korea, and emerging Asian economies — may experience volatility, affecting FX holdings and reserve management strategies.

Implications for the Global Reset:

Pillar 1: Strategic Deterrence as Economic Signal — Military advancements reshape risk pricing across global financial markets.
Pillar 2: Regional Power Competition — Concerted defense buildups influence international alliances and capital allocation priorities.

This is not just military posturing — it’s a geopolitical catalyst reshaping financial confidence and strategic investment flows.

China Accelerates De-Dollarization as BRICS Infrastructure Strategy Deepens

New payment rails and commodity control quietly bypass U.S. financial dominance

Overview:

China is advancing de-dollarization through payment infrastructure, commodity control, and reserve diversification, rather than direct confrontation.
Direct yuan settlement corridors are expanding rapidly across Africa, Asia, and BRICS trade routes.
These developments reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and circumvent traditional Western financial controls.

Key Developments:

African banks integrated with China’s CIPS payment system now enable direct yuan settlements, cutting transaction times from days to seconds and sharply reducing costs.
China’s Belt and Road investments secured critical mineral supply chains across Africa, linking commodities directly to non-dollar trade settlement.
CIPS processed over 175 trillion yuan in transactions, with participation expanding to more than 120 countries.
China-Russia trade is now settled almost entirely in local currencies, removing dollar exposure from bilateral commerce.
Multiple central banks, including those in Africa and emerging markets, are increasing gold reserves and reducing dollar-denominated assets.

Why It Matters:

The shift marks a structural change in global finance. Instead of challenging the dollar rhetorically, China and its partners are building alternative systems that function more efficiently, allowing trade and settlement to continue outside U.S.-controlled rails such as SWIFT.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders:

As trade increasingly settles in yuan, local currencies, and gold-linked mechanisms, foreign currency holders face a changing reserve landscape. Reduced dollar demand in trade weakens automatic dollar recycling, increases FX volatility, and encourages diversification into commodities, alternative currencies, and non-Western settlement systems.

Implications for the Global Reset:

Pillar 1: Infrastructure Over Ideology — Control of payment rails and commodities matters more than monetary declarations.
Pillar 2: Multipolar Settlement Systems — Trade no longer requires dollar intermediation, accelerating financial fragmentation.

This is not about destroying the dollar overnight — it’s about routing around it until dominance fades.
