Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Wednesday Evening 3-20-24

Good evening Dinar Recaps,

Gold has been climbing since the beginning of this year despite the dollar being propped up through higher interest rates.

Bitcoin began its climb last year decoupling itself from the dollar, and now, we are witnessing gold begin to do the same.

The BRICS Nations have been quietly adding to a list of Nations joining their alliance. One of the things that is required of joining is a willingness to back their currencies by gold.

And for some time, we have read where Russia and China are in support of a new payment system inside a new digital economy for trade payments.

As you can see, the dollar is headed into a strong headwind. Many whales have been preparing for this shift in our economy and moving their money from stocks, and into, digital gold.

As the Global Bond markets are digitized this year, there's a strong expectation for the bond markets to really flourish until the year 2030.

Most of a bond's return over time comes from its yield. And falling yields are expected in the latter half of 2024. It will boost bond prices.

Bond yields stimulate a nation's stock market. In turn, this increases the demand for a country's currency. From a Global perspective, this will give strength to many of the new local currencies that are beginning to come back onto the market after using the dollar for some time.

Tokenized assets incorporate gold or some other commodity along with a digitized asset. These three drivers of the new economy when coupled with underlying assets to support each other become an unstoppable force of growth going forward.  Times of India

We are moving into an open banking system. This means that new innovations will surface in the years ahead that will provide us with new opportunities for growth.

Because a country comes up with a single innovative digital banking protocol this year, doesn't mean that another country cannot come up with a better one the following year to replace it.

We are entering into the "Age of Creativity." Creativity can know more than the mind can ever understand. It takes us into realms of consciousness whereby we are lead by the very wisdom that has created us.

Stellar (XLM) is taking the lead on new innovations that will begin the process of taking us into the new digital economy. Ripple (XRP) is coming up with their own Ledger System that will compete. Who is next?

Herein lies the beauty of what we are witnessing currently being developed. As new innovations come out into the market to enhance the well-being of our Creator's people, freedom will be the motivator for the new digital economy over and beyond controlling the masses.  Those who forget this will more than likely get left behind.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-19-24

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 3-19-24

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome, everybody to the big call tonight. It's Tuesday, March 19TH and you're listening to the Big Call – appreciate everybody tuned in wherever you’re located all over the globe - We appreciate our SAT team getting the call out to man, let's say Tuesday night a week ago we were at 17.2 million listeners. So we hope we're at that level or higher tonight. And, well, we're excited to be here. let's do this - let's pray the call in.

Well, it's time to talk about Intel. – It’s time to talk about where we are -  We're in a really good place. I've got a few things to cover. Let's cover this first, when we talked about getting the exchange complete – the zim, other currencies if you have them completed.

You'll have access - this is new information, you'll have access to 1% of your total that you can move from your quantum account to your Wells Fargo primary account, let's say  - 1% of the total for the first 12 to 15 days.  After 12 - 15 days, you'll be able to get access to all of it.

I'm not gonna sit here -  zim is still a bunch of money -  even if you only have a few notes -   1% is like extra money, even if you only have a few notes. So that's new.

 Now let's go to bondholders - bond holders can get access to 1% of their funds also,  but that has to last for 90 days - after ninety days, I say the 91st day bondholders get access to all of it. So you guys understand the distinction  I  am making  here.

Zim holders - currency holders. Generally speaking, if you only have  currency and no zim, you're fine. You're not going to be restricted by this. But if you're a Zim holder, you get access to 1% So the first 12 to 15 days. Let's go two weeks. After that, you get access to the remaining  99 percent of your exchange or your redemption of zim .

Okay, let's get that out of the way.

The other thing is, as of 9am, this morning, Tuesday morning, all of our 23 countries are going up in value. All of their currencies are going up in value. All of them made it known that their currency -  be like this is true with the Iraqi dinar – and all other 22 countries  that are going up in value  plus the dinar – they made that available  made it known internationally.

So the people out there there are into currency to the current speed on the various  countries all of them as of nine am this morning. Their rates were made  known internationally.

 Now today the rates were on the screens and trading upward. They were blinking and trading about every seven or nine minutes  - you got a new rate but it  is blinking -

 Then right after business hours in the banks closed today, screens went dark - We believe they're going to come up with all new rates tomorrow.

Okay. Now here's the timing mechanism of where we are now.  Bondholders in tier three are some of them been  notified  already - but not all – and we believe they will be notified Further and start exchanges  we believe - I mean have access to their funds, most likely Thursday.

Now we in teir four B - the Internet Group is the largest group by far -  are supposed to be notified depending on the timezone - this is where it gets a little tricky, either around 12:30 Maybe central tomorrow or 1:30 pm Eastern tomorrow - Our notifications are supposed to come out - Let's call it after lunch tomorrow - early afternoon we’re supposed to get notified. Then we set our appointments and as we get to Charlie Wards Thursday, exchange on Thursday.

So notifications tomorrow afternoon. Eastern time let's call it 1:30 - 2 o'clock and it may be in the same time in every time so you guys you know I've had that theory. They bought that theory they agree that's what it's going to be so whatever it is, Let's call it after lunch whenever it comes out - We set our appointments and then we exchange starting on Thursday. That says  as it is right now.

Okay, lets hope nothing changes, and that's exactly what happens.

 Now here's an interesting thing that we received from one of our sources about the r&r, the restitution and I call it reclamation allowance. They've actually got another name for it. But I'm going with r&r The new name is still got the R so we're taking on r&r  The r&r should occur either -  this is what we've been told - Either tomorrow, which is Wednesday, or Thursday – Now my theory is it will be Thursday because of the two days tomorrow or Thursday……..

First of all, if we're going in setting appointments and exchanging our currencies thursday,  what would happen  if  that people that are not in the currencies, especially 62 and older, they're on Social Security are going to get their r&r lump sum deposit --  one lump sum deposit - if you're 60 and older, and if you're on Social Security, you get it in your bank account where you normally receive your social.

You get it direct deposited as a lump sum into that account. So we can be looking for that tomorrow or Thursday. If you're older and you're on social 62 and older. It'll be a lump sum, it'll be a pretty big chunk of money.

That's gonna blow people away. Plus, let's say you're not in the currency and all of a sudden you've got 10s of millions of dollars or more in your Social Security account. – it was unannounced – you had no clue about this -  But you get this in your account. You go oh my gosh, what is this. Wow. Okay, and then peep so that sort of cover if you will, for everybody getting money. And if you're younger than 62 -  It's tiered downward to where the youngest people would get it over three years, the middle tier of age gets it over two years

And then the older people that are -  say, I don't know where the breakdown is guys. I'm gonna say 50 to 61 – maybe the uppermost tier to get to over 1 year  to get paid this money out from their restitution reclamation. They get that paid out over one year's time. The middle tier might be over two years and the youngest tier  three years .

And this is with agreement, a signed agreement that you would keep your job or if you don't have a job – get a job - and this would continue to pay out over that period of time.

Now, let's talk about the increase in Social Security that I do not believe is happening this month. For any of us -  I don't see that increase happening -, but it does happen – let’s say it's in  April. It's going to take Social Security people in the 4400 $4,900 month range - somewhere in that range -  a 4400 to $4900 a month. That's a nice livable wage for social security

If you're in middle America, obviously if you're in New York, or LA it's not as big a deal, but it is in the heartland of America –

So I'm trying to think if there's anything else that matters to us right now. that's important for us to set the exchange up under your master trust.

If you don't, they would like to have a trust in 10 days or less. That up it's for your own asset protection Need to get that going

I would say --- obviously the bankers have trust capabilities at Wells Fargo. and that's certainly an option unless you already have an attorney  specializing in asset protection And creating that for you. So be aware of that.

Otherwise  it looks like we’re  going to get a shotgun start on bondholders  and  us - we should be getting notified  tomorrow. We should be exchanging on Thursday, you know, right on through the end of the month, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, all the way through Sunday everything.

So that's what I wanted to say that a few guys and that's really, really where I am on this. And I believe its good news -, the R & R is good , and the idea of maybe  getting notified tomorrow then going from there is really very, very good  - So lets see how this thing comes together for us. Let's see how it manifests, and we look forward to getting this  started this week. Let's just pray the call out.

Europe Has Precious Few of These “Golden” Opportunities Left

Europe Has Precious Few of These “Golden” Opportunities Left

Notes From the Field By Simon Black/James Hickman

Located in Mediterranean Sea about halfway between Greece and Turkey is the island of Crete... which has attracted human civilization for more than 100,000 years.

Today roughly 600,000 people call the island home. But millions of tourists also visit the popular vacation spot each year. It’s known for it’s beaches, wine, and olive groves.

And at the moment, real estate is fairly reasonably priced.

It’s certainly not rock bottom cheap, but for such a popular destination, home prices could hardly be called expensive.

For example, a modest two bedroom stone villa next to a manicured olive grove with gorgeous views of the sea is listed for around €275,000, or USD $300,000.

image

A place like this on Airbnb could easily fetch $125 to $150 per night and would be fully booked for much of the year.

Now, I’m not here to encourage anyone to buy investment property in Greece. Personally I think there are much better investments right now. But buying property in Greece does have something special going for it that most traditional investments don’t have:

You can become a Greek, i.e. European resident, if you buy property.

Having residency in a foreign country is a completely sensible thing to do. It means that, in almost every case imaginable, you’ll have another place to go if you ever need it.

There are a number of places in the world that allow you to buy property in exchange for legal residency; often these programs are called “Golden Visas.”

But you would only want to go down that path if you actually enjoy spending time in the country.

And for some people, Greece is paradise. The weather, culture, ruins, history, food, etc. appeal to plenty of people who want to spend time or even retire there.

Portugal was the first of several countries in Europe to launch a Golden Visa back in 2012.

But as usual, the deal was too good to last. Swarms of foreigners came in, property prices went through the roof, and locals complained that housing was unaffordable.

So last year, the government of Portugal made their Golden Visa program much, much less attractive, and for the most part, property purchases no longer qualify.

Greece is the best game in town right now as far as European Golden Visa programs are concerned. 98% of the country’s territory, including hundreds of its idyllic islands, remains eligible for a Golden Visa in exchange for a property purchase of just €250,000.

But last year, the government raised the minimum investment threshold to €500,000 in the country’s most sought-after regions, including parts of Athens, Thessaloniki, and the islands of Mykonos and Santorini.

And we wouldn’t be surprised if they restricted the program further— after all, that is what tends to happen to these programs. So if you like the program, it’s better act soon.

Again, buying property under a Golden Visa program doesn’t make sense if you don’t enjoy spending time in the country.

But when it’s possible to get residency (which is a solid step in your Plan B) while generating positive cashflow from your rental income when you’re not using the place, that’s a pretty good deal.

Of course, Greece isn’t the only place in the world you can do this.

Panama still offers residency in exchange for a roughly $300,000 property investment— an amount which still goes a long way in Panama.

Panama’s program has also changed over time, so it also probably won’t last forever.

Then there are places like Mexico where you don’t even have to purchase a property to obtain legal residency; you just need to prove that your income or savings meets a modest threshold.

If someone asked where is the easiest place to gain residency in the Western Hemisphere, I think Mexico ticks that box. Almost anyone qualifies, and it is easy to maintain.

The larger point is that these aren’t radical steps. But they do give you another option.

And in a world full of Inspired Idiots, with so much looming risk and uncertainty, having additional options just makes sense.

But great options don’t last.

We go through periods where one residency may be easy and simple to obtain, and over time those rules change and become more difficult and cumbersome.

So when you find something that works for you, take action and make it happen.

To your freedom,  James Hickman  Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC

Clare: Parliament Finance: The Central Bank will move to support banks through this mechanism

3/20/2024   Baghdad

Today, Wednesday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed the Central Bank’s intention to support banks through loans, while indicating that the Ministry of Labor has opened the platform for applying for small project loans.

The representative of the committee, Mustafa Al-Karawi, said in an interview followed by Al-Iqtisad News: “The committee, during its hosting of the governor of the Central Bank, called for support for banks, especially in the issue of loans,” noting that “the governor of the central bank promised the committee to launch loans, especially the Real Estate Bank, to support the construction movement.”

He added, "Loans for small projects will be through the Ministry of Labor, which in turn has opened a platform to provide unregistered people who have not benefited from previous loans in order to support projects, with the value of the loan reaching 50 million dinars." LINK

Tishwash: Saudi Arabia approves an agreement to open a regional office for the International Monetary Fund in Riyadh

Enhances the Fund’s presence and partnership with Arab institutions

The Saudi Council of Ministers, headed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, approved on Tuesday evening a headquarters agreement between the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the International Monetary Fund to establish a regional office for the Fund in the city of Riyadh, according to the Saudi Press Agency, SPA.

The Saudi Ministry of Finance had signed an agreement with the International Monetary Fund regarding the establishment of a regional office for the Fund in the Kingdom.

The Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, recently said, “Our new office in Riyadh works to strengthen our presence and partnerships with Arab institutions.”

This step reflects the Kingdom's position as the largest economy in the region and one of the most prominent economies of the G20.  link

5 Financial Tips That Will Help You Make It to the Upper Class

5 Financial Tips That Will Help You Make It to the Upper Class

Heather Taylor   Mon, Mar 18, 2024

If you are in the middle class and attempting to make the leap into the upper class, what steps can you take to realistically reach your financial goals?

Making the following choices can help you reach your goal of being a member of the upper class.

Change Your Money Mindset

Progressing through each level of financial freedom, starting at self-sufficiency and ending with abundant wealth, requires making a shift in your money mindset.

In an interview with Grow (CNBC + Acorns), self-made millionaire Grant Sabatier said money should not be viewed as something you use to buy things. Reaching financial goals, including joining the upper class, requires making good choices with your money. Practicing good saving and investing habits allows your money to work for you.

Moreover, changes in your money mindset should be positive. Danielle Miura, founder of Spark Financials, said if you don’t develop the right mindset, you may drive in the right direction, but never get anywhere.

“If you want to move up the ladder, you have to know what you want and know how to get there,” said Miura. “When we are solution-oriented, we see the benefits of a problem rather than see it as a negative thing. This positive mindset will less likely derail you from your mission when events happen without your control.”

Change Your Financial Habits

As you begin to shift your money mindset and determine better choices to make with your money, you may need to change any financial habits which no longer suit your needs.

Scott Eichler, investment advisor and founder of Standing Oak Advisors, said a common financial habit keeping individuals in the middle class is consistently spending beyond their means. Those seeking to progress to the upper class need to save, invest and keep a low financial overhead.

“The first step to escape the middle class isn’t to invest smartly, it is to invest at all,” said Eichler. “The difference between the wealthy and the middle class is that the wealthy have learned to live below their means. This allows their means to grow and allows them to amass wealth.”

Take On Good Debt

There are two forms of debt: good debt and bad debt. Bad debt includes credit cards, medical loans and payday loans. This debt can be a drag on your finances and make you financially vulnerable.

"Coffee With MarkZ" Wednesday Morning Chat 3-20-2024

PDK Note: When Mark says there is no RV news-obviously I do not do notes……I will only transcribe RV Related or Intel with Financial relevance. Thanks for understandng

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning and Hello to all you wonderful people!

Member: Where is that RV Mark? I know I put it somewhere around here

​​Member: Please have news this morning MarkZ. My stomach needs more than a nothing burger.

Member: a great many people are saying this is our week!!

MZ: Sudani is expressing the need to freeze all electronic transfers….basically freezing all banking and currencies. This is exactly what they would have to do to start the exchange process.

For the first time, this year's report included different classifications according to age groups, for example, Lithuania was the happiest country in the world for the age group under 30, while Denmark was at the top of the list in terms of those over 60.

Overall, Finland came first, followed by Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg and Switzerland.

CandyKisses: Ramadan and the salary crisis and floods. Nowruz holidays with a different flavor in Kurdistan - urgent

Baghdad Today - Kurdistan

Nowruz holidays in the Kurdistan region come with a different approach this year as a result of the size of the challenges faced by families in those areas, and despite the fact that Nowruz coincided this year with the blessed month of Ramadan and the crisis of delayed salaries of the region's employees

And what made matters worse was the wave of floods that occurred during the past two days, but local administrations in the governorates of the Kurdistan region decided to celebrate by lighting the Nowruz flame and going out in a number of streets, after the time of breaking the fast.

Nowruz is the Kurdish New Year, and the Kurds celebrate it in all the countries in which they are present by going out to the resorts and mountainous areas, but coinciding this year with the blessed month of Ramadan, as well as the financial crisis and the Wave of floods in the cities of the country, may make this occasion another reality.

The organizing committee of the celebrations in Sulaymaniyah announced the closure of the main Salem Street in central Sulaymaniyah and the start of Nowruz celebrations within activities interspersed with performances of Kurdish folklore, costumes, dabkat and Kurdish songs.

The Erbil Municipality, for its part, announced that preparations are underway for the Nowruz torch lighting ceremony on Erbil Citadel.

The municipality of Erbil said in a statement received by "Baghdad Today", that "its teams in the Directorate of Engineering of Erbil Gardens, this morning in a civilized manner and beautiful design standards for the ceremony of lighting the fire of Nowruz as a symbol of the National Day."

A number of citizens say that they will celebrate with their families despite the crises they are suffering from, as they have not been able to fully prepare for this occasion.

Behzad Salam, an employee in Sulaymaniyah, told Baghdad Today that he has not received his salary for 50 days, and although we are in Ramadan month, therefore in this crisis we will not be able to buy clothes for our children nor prepare optimally.

As for Nujeen Ahmed, he pointed out to "Baghdad Today", "Nowruz this year will not have a taste for several reasons, the first of which is the financial crisis, and secondly, we are used to going out to the streets and wearing Kurdish clothes that are sewn on these occasions, and on the 21st we go out with our families to the resorts and mountainous areas, " adding that "but this year we miss these things, because of the salary crisis and the coinciding of Nowruz with Ramadan "

But other families will go out to celebrate despite all the crises and circumstances that the Kurds are experiencing, but they will not miss this occasion, which is considered a national holiday for them.

Hevar Mustafa, a social researcher and academic at the University of Sulaymaniyah, stressed that Nowruz is one of the occasions that the Kurds cherish, and it is not an ordinary day, and therefore there is reverence for this occasion and national pride in it.

She pointed out in her speech to "Baghdad Today", that "the celebration this year will not be like previous years, but there are traditions, including lighting the candle of Nowruz, which expresses the liberation and revolutionary spirit of the Kurds in fighting tyranny and the injustice that they faced over different times

The Fall of the US Fiat Federal Dollar:

BRICS countries are ditching the dollar and using own currencies backed by precious metals to trade.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon predicted a major financial crisis saying that the global market is facing a rebellion amid its growing debt numbers.

Three months ago on the national panel Catherine Herridge from CBS news said that we are going to see a “Black Swan” event in 2024.

In January financial analyst Richard X Bove said China will soon overtake the American economy and the US dollar will catastrophically collapse.

At the end of February the El Salvador President said the US Dollar Will Collapse.

Three weeks ago Bank of America Issued a Major Warning of a US Dollar Collapse.

Recently the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Gates have been selling stocks and shares at an alarming rate.

Recently the BRICS Ambassador said that the US Dollar-Dominated World Will End Soon.

Last week Elon Musk said the US will go bankrupt because of overspending.

This week Bond yields close to key level that could put more pressure on stocks, Morgan Stanley said.

We know that the new financial system is ready.

The dates have passed when Banks have to be ISO20022 and Basel III compliant. CBDCs can NOT operate on the new system.

Today and tomorrow Tues-Wed 19, 20 March the Federal Reserve has a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Economists and analysts have been waiting for the second policy meeting of the year as high interest rates continue to bear down on the economy saying there are fears of a stock market crash. And on the 11th March Wall Street and regional banks said they are scrambling for new funds as the FED ends emergency lending program, aimed at keeping failing banks afloat during banking collapse.

This is why the distractions are coming in thick and fast right now to take our eyes away from the financial system fully collapsing. We know BRICS will destroy FED with asset backed currencies. The collapse is coming and many of us are prepared. https://x.com/bricsinfo/status/1769833490088923612?s=46

Yada   Be of good cheer folks, this is unfolding before our eyes...what we are are expecting is taking place...The articles last week regarding the 1.32 in Iraq was telling the people what to expect. The salaries, contracts, infrastructure are at a point the REER [Real Effective Exchange Rate] will activate it all...Today-tonight is very good for us.

Jeff  Iraq technically does not need to amend the budget if they're not changing their rate.  The budget already covers their operating expenses.  But they would need surplus funds to cover the reforms.  The reforms are contingent upon the rate changing.  They can't bring these reform package forward if the rate does not change.  The only reason they're amending the budget is because the rate is changing...The step of amending the budget can happen either before or after the rate changes ... They will probably announce Thursday or Friday as to when they plan to amend the budget, which they'll probably do around this weekend...
