The Rate & The Budget: What You Need To Know (The Clock)

Iraq’s fiscal year is the calendar year. The Financial Management Law (No. 95 of 2004) and a decade of hardened parliamentary practice require the budget to pass through the Council of Ministers’ review, then transmission to Parliament, then the Finance Committee markup, then three separate readings, then the vote all completed before January 1, 2027, or the country runs on the twelfth disbursement under the old law.

Fed Insider Reveals the Global Dollar Reset

Miles Harris:   9-30-2026

For years, mainstream financial headlines have warned of the imminent decline of the US dollar as the world’s undisputed reserve currency.

October 15 is not a suggestion. It is the statutory choke point.

Reset Intelligence: Pensions for Weapons.

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

On Tuesday, the day before the coalition's mission in Iraq closed, the cabinet voted through the PMF Service and Retirement Law and sent it to parliament: ranks, salaries and pensions inside the state for the fighters who bring their weapons in.

The blocs handed al-Zaidi the authority to fill the 9 empty cabinet chairs as one package after Sovereignty Day. Kataib Hezbollah answered with a threat to police Iraqi airspace and bring the government down.
