“We need a framework for stablecoins,” Powell said, according to a source at Tuesday’s meeting. Powell added that he is “very supportive and am glad that we are close.” 

As we have discussed in this room, these new tokenized assets are going to need coins to pay for them. It is really good to hear a confirmation that they are so close.

The use of stablecoins that represent a country's currency will increase money velocity and give more value to our currencies over time.

These new venues will level the playing field for all countries around the world. Isn't it amazing to watch these new developments take shape that will govern our new digital economy?  Ledger Insights

Who Are You After Financial Independence? Thursday 2-15-24

Who Are You After Financial Independence? Thursday 2-15-24

Financial Independence, FIRE, Money and Life   By   Vicki Robin 

Your Identity Closet: What shall you wear now that you are free? 

In high school all three sororities asked me to join – three different flavors of girls to giggle and gossip with. I must have joined one because my actual memory isn’t of joining. It’s of dropping out in protest to some clique cruelty. When offered options A, B or C – I chose D. Life went on. I didn’t make a habit of rebellion. 

 In fact, I developed quite a High School resume of clubs, groups and honors. Yet I’d learned that you can step outside any box you want to – and survive. 

By my mid-20’s I’d built a serious smoking habit. Serious because I’d picked up a disaffected Galoise smoker identity when I lived in Europe, translated that to Pall Malls in the United States and was burning through a pack a day. It made me feel intellectual and complex. 

One day, at a beach house I’d rented, I smoked a cigarette, quashed it in the sand and headed off for a run along the water. I was soon wheezing and gasping for breath, came back and dropped down on the blanket where I’d left my pack of cigarettes. I looked at it squarely. 

In a short few minutes I saw the cost of smoking, decided I needed to stop and then spontaneously a voice said, I can’t quit smoking but I can become a non-smoker. And that was that. In the 50 years since I’ve visited a few cigarettes for old time sake but have not become a smoker again.

 In fact, I developed quite a High School resume of clubs, groups and honors. Yet I’d learned that you can step outside any box you want to – and survive. 

By my mid-20’s I’d built a serious smoking habit. Serious because I’d picked up a disaffected Galoise smoker identity when I lived in Europe, translated that to Pall Malls in the United States and was burning through a pack a day. It made me feel intellectual and complex. 

One day, at a beach house I’d rented, I smoked a cigarette, quashed it in the sand and headed off for a run along the water. I was soon wheezing and gasping for breath, came back and dropped down on the blanket where I’d left my pack of cigarettes. I looked at it squarely. 

In a short few minutes I saw the cost of smoking, decided I needed to stop and then spontaneously a voice said, I can’t quit smoking but I can become a non-smoker. And that was that. In the 50 years since I’ve visited a few cigarettes for old time sake but have not become a smoker again. 

The Diagnosis 

Fast forward many decades of choosing many roads less traveled. I’m 58 and my doctor has just told me I have cancer. Actually he told me I had an apple core lesion in my colon, which sounded harmless, so he had to emphasize that what he meant was I had cancer. I would need surgery. Still nonplussed I said, “While you’re in there, can you do some liposuction.” 

People with a diagnosis of cancer know what comes next. You start to become an expert in a topic you never wanted to deal with. I read all the literature. About treatments and options and odds. 

For me another logical next step was to call a friend and medical intuitive as I know cancer has meanings, not just symptoms. I told him the diagnosis. He went silent for several minutes, scanning my body at a distance, then said, “You don’t have cancer.” 

I explained that I certainly did and he explained that his inner eye saw no signature of cancer anywhere in my body. I had A cancer, but I did not have cancer. 

This distinction, that I had not taken on the mantle of cancer but simply had a cancer that my otherwise vigorous body could deal with, liberated me to choose freely how I would go through this challenge. 

Frugality Was How I Lived, Not Who I Was 

My next stop was a coach friend who offered to listen to me talk about this cancer to find a vigorous place in my mind as well. I talked – and he listened – for hours. I realized that I had become trapped in an identity that was constraining me but I felt obliged to keep. 

 As the main spokesperson for Your Money or Your Life – and as a warrior trying to address over consumption one reader at a time – I’d assumed an identity of happy frugality. Don’t get me wrong. I was happily frugal for years, but it was how I lived, not who I was. 

When I became one of the guiding lights of the simplicity movement in the 1990s, though, I kept myself pegged at a level of expenses and a set of possessions and a repetitive story to reach our target: millions of people influenced, tons of unnecessary consumption prevented. 

I had a further dilemma. I’d become a role model. “Vicki Robin” meant something to a lot of people. If I changed, they’d lose a point on their compass. 

It was clear. I needed to quit being the me others thought I was in order to free myself to address this cancer. I mentally made a plaster cast of me, the Vicki others presumed I was, and then slit open the belly to let my soul free. I saw 3 Rastafarians with dreads wearing green tights dance out of that opening!

An Economic Emphasis On The Importance Of Relying On Private Banks To Improve National Income

Reports | 06:20 - 02/15/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  Economic affairs specialists urged the necessity of seeking to direct the loans and credit facilities granted by banks to the private sector, towards activating and increasing production processes, indicating that these facilities exceeded 50 trillion dinars last year 2023, but they did not contribute to increasing the rates of domestic product.

 Overall, stressing at the same time the importance of building more bridges of trust between investors, businessmen and companies with government and private banks with the aim of facilitating the granting of loans directed towards increasing local production.

Unofficial statistics, reported by the economist, Manar Al-Obaidi, showed that “the credit facilities provided by the banking sector to the private sector exceeded the barrier of 50 trillion Iraqi dinars during the past year 2023, which is the first time that this number of credit facilities provided by the banking sector has been recorded.” "The Iraqi."

An Economic Emphasis On The Importance Of Relying On Private Banks To Improve National Income

Reports | 06:20 - 02/15/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  Economic affairs specialists urged the necessity of seeking to direct the loans and credit facilities granted by banks to the private sector, towards activating and increasing production processes, indicating that these facilities exceeded 50 trillion dinars last year 2023, but they did not contribute to increasing the rates of domestic product.

 Overall, stressing at the same time the importance of building more bridges of trust between investors, businessmen and companies with government and private banks with the aim of facilitating the granting of loans directed towards increasing local production.

Unofficial statistics, reported by the economist, Manar Al-Obaidi, showed that “the credit facilities provided by the banking sector to the private sector exceeded the barrier of 50 trillion Iraqi dinars during the past year 2023, which is the first time that this number of credit facilities provided by the banking sector has been recorded.” "The Iraqi."

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

Al-Obaidi pointed out that “the value of credit facilities provided to the private sector represents 14 percent of the total Iraqi domestic product,” noting that “despite the increase in the volume of credit facilities provided to the private sector during 2023 by 11 percent compared to the year 2022, the credit ratio The percentage of GDP is still low compared to the percentage of Arab countries, as the percentage reached, according to the World Bank, about 55 percent of the GDP.”

Al-Obaidi explained, “Cash credit facilities increased by 19 percent compared to 2022, as the credit facilities amounted to 40 trillion Iraqi dinars, while the pledged facilities provided by the banking sector to the private sector amounted to 12.5 trillion Iraqi dinars,” suggesting at the same time that “the percentage will rise in the coming years.”

As a result of the increase in the value of deposits with banks, which is considered the most important factor for the banking sector’s ability to provide direct credit facilities to the private sector,” indicating that “increasing the domestic product from non-oil sectors will lead to an increase in demand for credit facilities during the coming years, which will improve the reality of credit provided to the sector.” private" .

In turn, the economic expert, Dr. Ali Daadoush, during his speech to “Al-Sabah” followed by Mawazine News, believes that the first step to the success of the partnership between the two parties is to build confidence between businessmen, merchants and investors from the private sector on the one hand, and with the banks on the other hand.

Daadoush stressed, “In order to empower the private sector, we should move towards activating what he called “moral persuasion” as part of the monetary policy that can be followed with the aim of revitalizing the role of the private sector, by directing the banks by the Central Bank to work in accordance with supporting the private sector by increasing... Investment credit, that is, supporting local production,” indicating that this step “is capable of achieving a lot if the banks move towards this matter.”

Daadoush pointed out that most of the funds granted to the private sector in the past went to finance imports and were not invested in building a production base for local industries, and thus this matter led to deepening imports and weakening local production further.

The Association of Private Banks called on the House of Representatives to intervene to “address” the issue of the US sanctions imposed on it.

A statement by the House of Representatives’ Economy, Industry and Trade Committee, received by Mawazine News, stated that it was “hosting the Association of Iraqi Banks and directors of private banks, to discuss the sanctions imposed by the US Federal Bank on some of them.”

She added, “I listened to a detailed explanation provided by the Association and the directors of private banks about the most important problems and obstacles that private banks suffer from, including “freezing their balances abroad and stopping foreign transactions and transfers with correspondent banks.”

The Association of Private Banks stated, according to the statement, that the ban imposed on these banks “He came in a letter from the Central Bank of Iraq without explaining the reasons,” calling on the House of Representatives and the Parliamentary Economics Committee to “intervene to address this issue in cooperation with the Central Bank and the Council of Ministers.”

Clare:  Parliament hosts the governor and officials of the Central Bank regarding sanctions on Iraqi banks

2/15/2024

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moin Al-Kadhimi, confirmed on Thursday that the Governor of the Central Bank and its senior officials will be hosted to discuss the sanctions imposed by the US Treasury on a number of Iraqi banks.

Al-Kadhimi told Shafaq News Agency, "The Finance Committee will host the Governor of the Central Bank and its officials to discuss the sanctions issued by the US Treasury Department against Iraqi banks and the measures taken by the bank to maintain the dollar exchange rate in the market."

He added, "The meeting will discuss the measures taken by the Central Bank regarding financial transfers and facilitating procedures for merchants to obtain dollars through the window for buying and selling foreign currency."

He stressed that "the meeting will be held at the end of this month and will also discuss the Central Bank's measures to confront the challenges and decisions issued by the US Federal Bank."

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Parliamentary Economy, Industry and Trade Committee and the Iraqi Banks Association said that the banks banned by the US Treasury constitute 50% of private banks in Iraq.

This came during the hosting of the committee headed by Representative Ahmed Salim Al-Kanani and in the presence of its members, the Iraqi Banks Association, and directors of private banks, according to a statement issued by the committee.

Yesterday, Wednesday, in a statement to Shafaq News Agency, member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ikhlas Al-Dulaimi, suggested that the US Treasury Department would include new Iraqi banks on the sanctions list unless the Central Bank of Iraq finds solutions for them.

In July 2023, the US Treasury imposed sanctions on 14 Iraqi banks in a crackdown on Iran’s dollar transactions. LINK

Militia Man  Iraq is a border country with Kuwait.  Iraq is considerably larger than Kuwait...They have massive amount of oil...liquid natural gas...gold...some of the biggest mineral deposits in the world that Kuwait does not have.  You have to ask, why did they bring this up? - Article quote: "The Kuwaiti dinar ranked on the throne of currencies in the world for the year 2024 while the US dollar came in last place on the list of 10 strongest global currencies ...the dinar of the Gulf State is divided into 1,000 smaller units known as fils."  [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned]

Militia Man   Iraq does not have fils.  They're going to be talking about fils because why Because...Al-Sudani has stated the dinar is stronger than the dollar.  They're going to need to be able to make change...When they bring this up with Iraq's situation I think they're doing it in a manner that suggests the region can support Iraq having a strong currency stronger than the dollar...

US Kicked Out Of Africa With Game Changing Move, China And Africa Does The Unthinkable

US Kicked Out Of Africa With Game Changing Move, China And Africa Does The Unthinkable

Tech Revolution:  2-15-2024

The current economic landscape in Africa is experiencing turbulence, primarily due to the strengthening of the US dollar. This surge is impacting African nations' ability to manage their debts, leading to financial strains.

 However, amidst these challenges, African countries are exploring innovative solutions, including a shift towards China's yuan as an alternative currency for trade and debt repayment.

The Challenges Posed by the Rising US Dollar:

The recent surge in the value of the US dollar is presenting significant challenges for African countries, particularly in meeting their debt obligations.

As the US dollar appreciates, African nations are finding themselves burdened with higher repayment amounts, resulting in budget deficits and financial instability.

US Kicked Out Of Africa With Game Changing Move, China And Africa Does The Unthinkable

Tech Revolution:  2-15-2024

The current economic landscape in Africa is experiencing turbulence, primarily due to the strengthening of the US dollar. This surge is impacting African nations' ability to manage their debts, leading to financial strains.

 However, amidst these challenges, African countries are exploring innovative solutions, including a shift towards China's yuan as an alternative currency for trade and debt repayment.

The Challenges Posed by the Rising US Dollar:

The recent surge in the value of the US dollar is presenting significant challenges for African countries, particularly in meeting their debt obligations.

As the US dollar appreciates, African nations are finding themselves burdened with higher repayment amounts, resulting in budget deficits and financial instability.

The Pursuit of De-Dollarization: In response to the mounting pressure posed by the rising US dollar

African nations are increasingly turning their attention towards de-dollarization strategies. This entails reducing reliance on the US dollar and diversifying currency options to mitigate financial risks.

China's Role in Africa's Economic Landscape: China, as a member of the BRICS alliance, recognizes the opportunity presented by Africa's quest for alternative currencies. Leveraging its economic influence

China is actively promoting the use of its currency, the yuan, as a viable alternative to the US dollar in African trade and financial transactions.

Diplomatic Engagement and Economic Cooperation:

The Bank of China (BOC) is playing a pivotal role in facilitating economic cooperation between China and African nations. Through diplomatic visits and financial support, the BOC is fostering stronger ties and encouraging the adoption of the yuan in Africa's financial ecosystem.

 Encouraging Local Currencies and Yuan-Denominated Bonds:

China's efforts to promote de-dollarization in Africa extend to encouraging the use of local currencies and facilitating the issuance of yuan-denominated bonds, commonly referred to as "panda" bonds.

This initiative aims to diversify currency reserves and reduce dependence on the US dollar.

Examples of Yuan Adoption in Africa: Several African countries, including Egypt and Kenya, have taken proactive steps to incorporate the yuan into their financial systems.

 By embracing the yuan, these nations are diversifying their currency holdings and mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations.

Future Outlook and Potential Opportunities:

Looking ahead, the adoption of China's yuan in Africa is poised to accelerate, driven by the strategic interests of both China and African nations. This shift holds the potential to reshape cross-border trade and investment patterns, offering new opportunities for economic growth and development.

 Case Studies Highlighting Yuan Adoption:

In Nigeria and South Africa, recent initiatives have demonstrated the tangible benefits of embracing the yuan. Through currency swap agreements and strategic partnerships, these countries are strengthening their economic ties with China and paving the way for greater yuan usage in the region.

Conclusion:

As Africa navigates the challenges posed by the rising US dollar, the adoption of China's yuan emerges as a promising solution.

By embracing the yuan, African nations can diversify their currency reserves, mitigate financial risks, and foster stronger economic ties with China. This strategic shift not only addresses immediate challenges but also positions Africa for sustainable economic growth and resilience in an increasingly complex global landscape.

Member: I’m getting very weary, but not wavering

Member: What are the odds of an RV this weekend?

Monday I am looking at from now till the 20th right now based on chatter…but nobody knows the exact timing.

Member:  Sudani is out of the country so nothing till Monday?

Member:  Monday the 19th is Presidents Day...long weekend for many!!!

Member: Stock Market folks are discussing possible False Flag at the close of markets Friday or over the weekend!

Member: I am praying we are not all suckers for believing in the RV

MZ: History tells us that fiat always returns to its intrinsic value of Zero (Voltaire)  Everytime  the monetary system collapses  we return to gold backed or commodities. The frustrating part is not knowing the exact timing.

Member: I believe everything is being manipulated to happen at the same time

MZ: As well as they can. …but it certainly seems like it.

Member: Any chatter from RV centers or bond contacts?

MZ: I know my RV center folks are planning to be on call this weekend. Bond contacts are very quiet. Group leaders are squeezing everyone to be careful as to what they say.

Member: Are you under a new NDA Mark?

MZ: If I were I would not be doing podcasts…..I would be quiet and you would not be seeing me at all. …I am only being leaned on to not share specifics that would get others into trouble. …like which groups are moving or which bond folks are receiving money…..and bank locations when I read bank stories….That is what I am being leaned on about. .

Member: I don’t want to sign an NDA because I don’t want them clawing my money back if they say I told the rate I got.. I will not tell but my word against there’s

Member: I believe the NDA for currency would be to not discuss the rate we get paid because we will get paid a higher rate than the general public.

Member: If you take the street rate…there is probably no NDA.

Member: ​​I'm sorry I'm a little bit behind but what's the big deal with the 20th. I know yesterday you were a little hell-bent against staying away from it but could you possibly give a Reader's Digest version

Member: Just a lot of chatter and rumors.

Member:  Will the money we already have in the bank automatically swith to asset backed after the reset?

MZ: I am being told yes. The money we have in accounts and in markets will automatically to gold or asset backed when the new system kicks in. .

Member: Is there any truth to fact that exchanges are taking place at major banks with branch managers and wealth managers? Supposedly, Dinar, Dong and Rupiah are being exchanged, but I can't find validity.

Member: So crazy story....got a notice that a loan was paid in full!!!!  Nesara possibly??

Member: Should we take bolivar with us when we go to our exchange?

Member. Just take everything…..that is only logical.  I am taking every currency I own just in case.

MZ: Nader had a interesting video about US sanctions imposed on Iraqi banks. ….be sure to go listen and like and share them. But the blow back from Iraq is interesting to watch. Sudani wants  to completely remove all of the US tentacles from Iraq.…..

MZ:  “BRICS: Nigeria plans to sell oil in local currency not US dollar”  I believe by the nd of 2024 the majority of oil contracts and oil purchases around the world will not be with the petrodollar. This is a huge change in the world’s financial order.

MZ: “BRICS nations to see highest surge in millionaire count over the next decade –exceed the rise in G7 countries”  Just wait until we are all on asset backed currencies with a reset….we will see a lot of millionaires.  Right?

Member: I hear Only 12 million of the total global population holds foreign currency...that's less than 0.2%, imagine that...Feeling blessed to be blessed...

Member: FYI...32 days until Spring!

Member: Thanks for everyone for all the info and encouragement….have a great day.
