What Russia And Iran JUST Announced Will Transform Everything!

What Russia And Iran JUST Announced Will Transform Everything!

Tech Revolution:  2-15-2024

One agreement currently under the spotlight is the newly forged 20-year cooperation pact between Russia and Iran.

Let's delve deeply into this momentous partnership and dissect its multifaceted implications, leaving no stone unturned.

The 20-year cooperation agreement between Russia and Iran represents a monumental shift in regional geopolitics with sweeping implications across various domains. This comprehensive deal, known as 'The Treaty on the Basis of Mutual Relations and Principles of Cooperation between Iran and Russia,' signifies a significant departure from previous agreements and sets the stage for a deepening partnership between the two nations.

At its core, the agreement aims to strengthen cooperation in key areas such as defense, energy, and trade. Unlike the previous 10-year deal signed in 2001, which focused primarily on economic ties, this new agreement encompasses a broader scope of collaboration, reflecting the evolving priorities and interests of both countries.

One of the most striking aspects of the agreement is its impact on energy dynamics. By granting Russia access to extract resources from Iran's Caspian Sea region, particularly the vast Chalous field estimated to hold billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, the deal opens up new opportunities for energy cooperation between the two nations.

 Additionally, Russia's joint command capabilities in certain sectors of Iran's Caspian area underscore the strategic significance of this partnership in shaping regional security dynamics.

 Economically, the agreement seeks to reduce reliance on the US dollar in bilateral trade by facilitating transactions in local currencies, thereby circumventing US sanctions and strengthening financial autonomy.

 This move reflects a broader trend towards de-dollarization in international trade and finance, with implications for global economic governance and monetary policy.

 Military cooperation is another key component of the agreement, with provisions for the transfer of advanced military technology and training from Russia to Iran. This includes state-of-the-art missile systems such as the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal, Iskander M, RS-26 Rubezh, BrahMos3, and Avangard, which have the potential to significantly enhance Iran's military capabilities and alter the regional balance of power.

Beyond the immediate bilateral implications, the agreement has broader geopolitical ramifications, reshaping alliances and power dynamics in the Middle East, southern Europe, and Asia. Iran's strengthened military reach and enhanced political leverage may prompt neighboring countries to reassess their security arrangements and relationships with external powers, potentially challenging US hegemony in the region.

Despite its significance, the agreement has elicited a relatively muted response from Western powers, reflecting concerns over the implications for regional stability and US interests. The prospect of joint responses from Russia and Iran to US actions, as well as the potential blunting of US sanctions through international trade with China, adds another layer of complexity to global power dynamics and highlights the shifting contours of international relations in the 21st century.

In conclusion, the 20-year cooperation agreement between Russia and Iran represents a watershed moment in regional geopolitics with far-reaching implications for energy security, economic relations, military cooperation, and global power dynamics.

As the two countries deepen their partnership and expand their influence, the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and beyond is poised for significant transformation in the years to come.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 2-15-24

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 2-15-24

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recap

Welcome, everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, February 15th and you're listening to the big call. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday. I know I had a wonderful time on Tuesday night in my absence, you know, I was able to attend a Steely Dan Eagles concert in Tulsa - and it was a great concert. I really enjoyed it. And that's why I was not here Tuesday night.

So I know that Bob and Sue did a beautiful job Tuesday night because I listen to the replay - which is the first time I've listened to the call in 12 - 13 years now, but I was able to navigate that and listen to the whole thing without interruption I enjoyed that. It was fun

It was fun for me to hear Bob and Sue  - Sue just did a beautiful  job - every part of it - the intel  - and you know,  and here we are back again. I didn't think it was gonna be this I didn't think we're gonna have a call  Tuesday night because I thought this thing was right here and it is right here but we don't have yet.

 So I'll get into that and Intel segment. Thank you guys so much. Thank you Sue so much for everything that you said it was highly complementary and I appreciate that very much. So let's do this.

Let's go into the Intel segment. Thank you, Bob for that. Appreciate that information. That's really cool.

Sue did a beautiful job Tuesday night with those three Intel points. Let's go back to where we are based on some information that I got yesterday.

And it kind of morphed  a little bit  today - According to one of our strong sources. We have a three day ease-in period, or a rollout that was supposed to start today, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and I believe what's important to us is day two, and day three, which is Friday and Saturday of our three day rollout period.

And this corresponds with information that we have from other sources related to our bond sellers. And these bond paymasters had connections that let them know that we are in a position now where bond holders are about to receive their emails because the funds are moving in their direction to go into their accounts. And they're looking to receive emails either tomorrow or Saturday and have access to their funds tomorrow or Saturday based on information from other paymasters that are giving them this information

So by Friday or Saturday, which they expect to be receiving those funds and having access to spend ability of those funds, they'll get 10% of their total from their bond transactions. They'll get 10% to last and for the first 90 days - for three months. And then after that they get the remaining 90% That would be in their accounts that they can actually spend and use for whatever they're doing with it

It's not too dissimilar from us. Okay, if we're running parallel with tier three, Bond sellers, or bond we're at the position where we could get notified as well, Friday or Saturday with our notifications and hopefully start by Saturday for exchanges.

If we do that we should be able to receive emails from Wells Fargo, get the 800 number in the email, or you could get it from a website or an email that we send out to you. If you've registered on our site for that and then you will be able to set your appointment – go for your exchange, hopefully as early as Saturday – don’t know about tomorrow.

I don't know the time. I don't know exactly. Bond holders don't have the time that they've been told to look for their emails for their access to funds.

But the good news is we're pretty close to a parallel  with tier 3. They didn't really want anybody it's already like if you're a whale, and you've been in tier three, and you're super whale or super whale - you've got funds in your account - Those guys have not been allowed to spend those funds yet. Or they'd have an unfair advantage over us.

They want tier 3  and tier 4A and 4B to receive funds, approximately the same time that access to our funds and then be able to make the purchases that we want to make. Do what we want to do that those funds – start up leveling humanity  through ministries  and other charitable  organizations that we know

It's a situation where we should be able to get started, hopefully within the next couple of days.

Now we know that there are things that are happening behind the scenes, we know that we have had martial law in 24 states sort of on the downlow, but they've been listening to calls. They've been watching financial transactions and they will do that – and  continue to watch those forever probably.

But certainly for us if we are under a 30 day DNA  or a 60 a 90 or 120 day DNA  they’re going to make those decisions about your nondisclosure agreement based on how they perceive you at the redemption center - in that 30 minute period, they will determine Hey, we think this one's a loose cannon. We're gonna jack his NDA up to 120 days and watch him – watch him like a hawk.

There's other people that come in as other people come in and kind of got a nice countenance. It's got a nice attitude about things. They're going to be they approached the redemption center staff with a quality presentation. All of that was really well done. A they might say pretty, pretty trustworthy. I think we look at maybe a 30 day NDA for these guys. So they may determine that at the redemption center. Based on how you present yourself. Okay.

The other thing is when we go in – I told you this before -  you have enough currency or zim, which obviously only you have enough to cover, but I want to tell you because when you set up your quantum account, and you have your quantum card, which is only used to access the quantum accounts, to move funds from your quantum, to one of your bank accounts, like Wells Fargo like me from the primary  account and then maybe lose other funds later to my LLC accounts.

That's how we set it up to go. I'll do LLC accounts underneath the primary account, which is under my master trust. So think about that in terms of your estate planning, and how your attorney wants you to set that up or recommends that you set that up

We are going to have access to as much as 10.5 billion  and then on day one we put from our quantum account into our primary Wells Fargo account  and anything that is in the primary account  could earn interest at a pretty favorable rate. That of course, nothing's changed in the last couple of years. So what's see what they offer you In the redemption center on a rate of interest, if APY - Annual Percentage yearly? That’s how they do APY

So keep that in mind and then that has to last you - think  10.5 billion will last year for 90 days? Yeah, I think so. For Most of us - and then the remainder of funds that we have left over that in the quantum account you have access to after 90 days. So don’t worry about that

I think its set up that way so that way so we don't have too much in our accounts and blow out the banks – Banks are going to do well – and realize this – you go to the redemption center -  and I recommend all of you do with an appointment, the only way you will get in with an appointment that you set by calling toll free number that we're looking for -  the 800 number - When you call and set that appointment, you’ll go in for a 30 min appt -  they're going to do a lot of stuff. they're not going to be a whole lot of time for chatter. They want you in and out – It’s pretty much that way -

It's pretty much easy. It'd be quick, and you’ll ask what just happened -  (laugh)  you want to be conscious during the appointment -  You want to be thinking not about all kinds of ancillary things, just about what’s going on  - what  they're saying -  Look them in the eyes – read them - and read the  paperwork  your NDA -  do your presentation - to be able to count and verify your currencies on the delarue  machine -. They have those set up – multiple  -- I mean – its going to go quick

If you have bonds - the ones that haven't been done yet take thoe with you  and to show how you see ownership of any provenance with the bonds -  you should show how you received them – where they came from – the chain of ownership – how that worked -  have leads if you take the bonds with you sheet bonds - boxes of bonds. We take those in addition to your currency and your zim bonds, which are bearer bonds, your little Zim notes, those are great - and you'll be able to exchange those currencies.

It's just going to be quick. It's just going to be fairly quick. You think about it. They're setting up one quantum account for you. They're setting up one primary bank account with Wells for you and that's all you've got time for in terms of banking, they're gonna be telling you how much currency you have in USN  the United States notes.

When are those USN notes going to come out? I don't know exactly shouldn't be very much longer before we see those - we could have an EBS announcement we're hearing even over this weekend coming.

I think political change we're looking at a -- We've heard dates we're from tomorrow, Friday to the following Friday. So possibly from a week from tomorrow in that timeframe - within that week - that could be really good.

What else is going on guys? What Sue mentioned about the Zimbabwe  on Tuesday night's call, yeah, Zimbabwe. That article that was put out actually have had their new Zimbabwe gold back dollar for about three months now - out, but they just announced it in that Bloomberg article. When was it yesterday? Tuesday, Tuesday, the Bloomberg. So you know that's, that's really good.

I think it just shows the strength. My understanding about Zimbabwe because they have so many resources in the ground. They have all kinds of diamonds and jewels and stuff. They still have oil, gold, they've got lots of things that give their currency the value and my understanding was Zimbabwe may be the sort of the reserve currency of Africa. The actual regional currency for the continent, the dark continent of Africa, which is so cool, because Zimbabwe is really there's really quite a country in terms of their capabilities and their assets and the resources. So we'll see how that shakes out.

Otherwise we’re looking at a very strong weekend - and we think unless we know that there's clean up, you know, there's always continued arrests being made. But I think we're at the point now, at the point of no return, we can get this thing done, and we can move in and get everything that we want it under our plan B.

So that's all I got to say tonight. We're going up to speed we're just about there. But you guys, this thing has changed so many times. That's why it's important that we keep praying it in but stay focused on your plan A but look to your plan B for our blessing. I mean I know I've been saying that for a long time. And I'm still saying it now because this is about to happen.

We hope this is the weekend  that we're going to does take place – here it is the  15th of the  month, and we're looking forward to this taking place so we can get on with our new lives. Our new story.

As far as where we are guys we’re looking for us to get started by or  before the weekend – pay attentions for emails tomorrow or Saturday or if you haven't registered on big call universe.com You can register on that and then we will send you an email blasts when 800 Number are also supposed to be on a landing page.  I'm gonna pray the call out and hope all is  having a great weekend. We're gonna see where it goes this weekend.

Travelers Demand That The Central Bank Launch The New Mechanism For Granting Dollars... And Reveal The Defects Of The Old One

Time: 02/16/2024 09:47:51 Read: 3,224 times  {Local: Al-Furat News} Travelers called on the Central Bank of Iraq to speed up the launch of the new mechanism for granting dollars from government and private banks and exchange companies.

The travelers confirmed through {Al-Furat News} agency, that "the old mechanism was not successful and relied on nepotism and certain people to receive the dollar, depriving large numbers of travelers of obtaining the dollar, which forced them to go to the parallel market to buy the currency."

An informed source revealed the day before yesterday, Wednesday, that the sale of the dollar at the official rate of the Central Bank of Iraq to travelers had stopped.

The source told Al-Furat News, “The sale of the dollar to travelers has been stopped in most government banks,” noting, “The Central Bank intends to launch a new mechanism to obtain the currency for travelers.”

The Iraqi traveler to countries specified by the Central Bank is given an amount of $3,000, and in the case of treatment, he and the companion are given $6,000 at the official rate {1,320 dinars to the dollar} with the exception of Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.  LINK

The Real Estate Bank Decides To Extend The Implementation Of The Electronic Collection And Collection Agreement

Economy | 11:16 - 02/16/2024   Mawazine News – Baghdad  The management of the Real Estate Bank Council decided, today, Friday, to extend the implementation of the electronic collection and collection agreement.

A statement from the Ministry of Finance, a copy of which it received, stated that “the management of the Real Estate Bank decided, in its last session, to extend the implementation of the electronic collection and collection agreement approved by it.”

The Director General of the Real Estate Bank, Abbas Shehab Al-Jawahiri, said, according to the statement: “Electronic collection will contribute to launching disbursement and disposal, without facing temporary deficits in financial revenues, due to the slowdown that occurs as a result of traditional methods.”

He explained, “The bank is currently working on preparing an electronic database, and moving from manual collection to electronic collection, to facilitate procedures for paying installments for citizens and working to combat financial and administrative corruption, which accompanies traditional collection methods.”

He continued, “This measure comes in implementation of the decisions of the Council of Ministers regarding electronic collection and collection, and the adoption of the shift from cash financial transactions to electronic transactions and collection of funds, through the application of modern electronic systems.”   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=242184

Oil Is Heading Towards Recording Gains For The Second Week In A Row

Economy | 09:26 - 02/16/2024   Mawazine News – Baghdad   Oil prices varied during early Friday trading, with investors assessing expectations of a slowdown in demand and weak data for US retail sales that once again revived hopes for a reduction in US interest rates.

Brent crude futures recorded a slight decline of 0.08 percent to $82.79 per barrel. While US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 6 cents to $78.09 per barrel.

The two benchmarks rose more than 1 percent in Thursday's settlement, as a larger-than-expected decline in US retail sales raised hopes that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) would begin lowering interest rates in the coming months, which could be positive for demand for oil. End 25

Frank26:  "THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE IRAQI DINAR IS THE HOT TOPIC IN THE WORLD!!!"..........F26

 Due to the rise in exchange rates...a parliamentary movement to speed up the approval of the “salary scale”

2/13/2024  - Baghdad
 Independent MP Nazem Al-Shibli stressed today, Tuesday, the necessity of accelerating the approval of the new salary scale to address fluctuations in prices due to the continuous rise in the exchange rate of the dollar against the local currency.

Al-Shibli said in an interview followed by Al-Iqtisad News, “There is a parliamentary move to accelerate the completion and approval of the new salary scale to raise the salaries of those with lower grades, improve their living conditions, and confront fluctuations in market prices.”

He added, "The government must explain the steps it has taken regarding amending the salary scale for state employees, which will contribute to achieving social justice."

Al-Shibli pointed out that "there is a large disparity in salaries within the same category in state ministries, despite the similarity of working hours."

Most employees in state departments are still awaiting a decision from the government regarding the new salary scale, especially after many parliamentary requests to prepare the scale to achieve justice among employees in various ministries.

The Presidency's Media Department denied what was broadcast by one of the channels about President Abdel Latif Gamal Rachid submitting a request to visit America, describing the widespread information as "misleading", stressing that it has nothing to do with reality. LINK

Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  Al Suandi is on TV news Channel One saying the best and the only way to improve the electronic payment system is the CBI should remove the three zeros, print the new currency (lower denoms?) and give us a one month period to exchange our currency.  This will show the power of the dinar over the dollar...He also said this will get rid of citizen holding cash and any smugglers and money laundering. FRANK:  ...That's what they're about to introduce to you, your new exchange rate to match your lower notes...the lower notes will only work with a new exchange rate.  I can't believe they keep saying this to you constantly every day...You are within arms reach...One month...I believe they'll give you longer than that.  Outside with us it should also be a longer time to exchange...

Mnt Goat   We are still waiting for the CBI’s measures to take hold to control the parallel market rate and then so they can go ahead and raise the program rate one more time, as I am told by my CBI contact is still going to happen...we must just sit tight and let them work through these issues of the parallel rate. The CBI will get it under control. As you know Iraq doesn’t work like Speedy Gonzalas...

Daz:   ITS EASY TO BELIEVE IN JUST THE FACTS 

I SUSPECT MUCH OF THE STUFF WE HAVE HEARD FROM ALL OVER THE NET OVER THE YEARS CONTAINS AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH..SOME MORE THAN OTHERS OF COURSE.

I DETERMINED LONG AGO THAT THERE HAVE BEEN VERY FEW DELAYS IN THE PROCESS. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COURSE CORRECTIONS AND FALSE STARTS...AND THE RV WAS EVEN USED AT TIMES AS A TOOL TO PRY OPEN A FAULT OR WEAK SPOT THAT NEEDED REPAIR OR ARREST.

WITH ALL PROCESSES YOU MUST SET GOALS AND THOSE GOALS ARE MARKERS TO MEASURE PROGRESS TOWARDS A FINAL SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION. SOMETIMES THOSE GOALS ARE HIT...AND SOMETIMES THEY ARE MISSED...BUT EITHER WAY YOU ADAPT, ADJUST AND TRY TO NAVIGATE A NEW OR MORE SUCCESSFUL PATH TO THE END OF IT...ULTIMATELY, IT IS JUST A PROCESS.

I ALWAYS GO BACK TO A SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT IN PART, SHOWS CLEARLY A FEW SIMPLE FACTS. AND FOR ME, ITS THE FOUNDATION OF MY CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.

WITH THAT SAID, LETS LOOK AT WHAT WE "KNOW".

Fed is a Scam and Lying About Numbers, We’re Spiraling into Economic Disaster: Bubba Horwitz

ITM Trading:  2-14-2024

Daniela Cambone engages in a conversation with market expert Todd “Bubba” Horwitz, the founder of BubbaTrading.com, delving into topics such as the trajectory of gold in 2024, the U.S. dollar, the current economic landscape, and the "Taylor Swift Effect".

Horwitz predicts that gold will reach an all-time high this year, emphasizing the importance of including metals in every portfolio, particularly physical ones rather than paper assets, due to concerns about the flaws in the fiat currency system and the risk of currency devaluations.

He also challenges the reliability of optimistic employment figures, suggesting that they fail to accurately reflect the true state of the economy.

“Next month when they come out with the jobs number again, I'm sure the revised just went lower,” he remarks.

Furthermore, Horwitz expresses his admiration for Taylor Swift and recognizes the positive impact she has had on both the economy and the younger generation.

Studies by Medical Corps psychiatrists of combat fatigue cases ... found that fear of killing, rather than fear of being killed, was the most common cause of battle failure, and that fear of failure ran a strong second.    - S. L. A. Marshall

8 Ways You Can Go From Broke to Rich in 2024

8 Ways You Can Go From Broke to Rich in 2024

Cindy Lamothe   Thu, February 15, 2024

Trying to get to a place of financial stability when you’re broke can feel like an uphill battle. But according to experts, you shouldn’t give up hope. With the right mindset and strategies, you can dig yourself out of financial struggle and significantly grow your wealth this year.

Here are some ways you can get ahead in 2024.

Identify Your Limitations

“In my experience as a finance expert, I have gathered that there are two major reasons individuals are broke and living paycheck to paycheck,” said Mafe Aclado, general manager of Coupon Snake.

“It is either they are not earning enough, or are like so many others who bring home a pretty decent income, but neglect to budget their expenses,” she explained.

“Without first identifying why you are broke and why you always blow through your earnings before the next paycheck arrives, it would be next to impossible to make any significant strides in your finances, much less go from broke to rich in 2024.”

She said finding out what aspect of your finances, or spending habits is limiting and hindering your financial growth, is the first step toward going from broke to rich this year.

That said, she noted that one way to tremendously improve your finances this year is to become dedicated and ready to put in the hard work that is required.

“You would just have to realize and be ready to make the necessary changes both in your spending and saving habits,” she added. “You would also have to be realistic and adopt a growth mentality because your money mindset is crucial to how much financial success you are able to achieve within one year.”

Start Investing Wisely

“I would say one of the best, and perhaps only, ways to go from broke to rich in a single year would be through making lucky picks when it comes to investments,” said David Kemmerer, CEO of CoinLedger.

“I have seen some of these types of results from crypto investments, but these do tend to be riskier and you should never be investing money you can’t afford to lose,” he noted.

“However, if you’re looking to accrue wealth and improve your financial situation through passive income, I would highly recommend investments as one way to grow your money and escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle in 2024.”

Ethan Keller, president of Dominion, also recommended you start investing as soon as possible to take advantage of the compounding growth.

“In order to reduce the amount of risk you are exposed to, you should diversify your portfolio and investigate low-cost investment options such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and index funds.”

Live Frugally

“Make the decision to live a frugal lifestyle and fight the urge to spend more than you can afford,” Keller said.

By living below your means, he said you’ll be able to save and invest more money, which ultimately speeds up the process of reaching your goal of becoming financially successful.
