Iraq News Highlights and Points To Ponder Friday AM 7-12-24

Why Did Iraq Stop Dealing In The Chinese Yuan?

Economy   Why did Iraq stop dealing in the Chinese yuan? Doc-P-493658-638563711944282995

1,919 views  Alsumaria News – Local   The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed the reasons behind Iraq’s suspension of dealing in the Chinese yuan, while indicating that many of the Central Bank’s procedures are governed by American will.

Committee member Moeen Al-Kazemi said in a statement to Al-Sumaria News, "The US Federal Bank  imposed on Iraq to stop dealing in the Chinese yuan, under the pretext that there was manipulation in some transfers or certain problems occurred, indicating that "Iraq's money, as we know, is included in the  US Federal Bank  as a result of the sale of oil at an amount of 3.5 million barrels per day, and this money enters the Federal Bank and is not transferred to Iraq in cash.

 It witnessed a transfer to Iraq through corruption transfers from the Central Bank and the Federal Declaration."

Al-Kadhimi continued, "Many of the central bank's measures are taken by the government with political will, and this will may be explained by administrative and financial reasons, not financing terrorism, and others," and he announced that "the reasons are political with the aim of pressuring the Iraqi government."

Is it possible to deal in Chinese currency?

Al-Kadhimi stressed that "the merchant and the Central Bank must have multiple options and not only deal in dollars, so this suspension is temporary and not permanent," noting that "the committee will ask the Central Bank to address the issue and have a diverse price basket, so that the options are more for the Central Bank and Iraqi merchants."

Al-Kadhimi stated earlier that "China's remittances in the yuan currency have been temporarily suspended until auditing mechanisms are found."   He continued, "During the past period, there has been a great deal of manipulation of China's affairs."   LINK

Secrets Of Smuggling Kurdistan Oil.. Has Iran Become The Second Largest Exporter In OPEC Using It?

Alsumaria Special   2024-07-12 | 1,414 views   Alsumaria News – Special   Everyone is talking about the smuggling of oil from the Kurdistan Region, and this talk is not new and has been going on for years.

However, for more than a year, specifically since the suspension of the export of Kurdistan oil through the Turkish port of Ceyhan, the map of oil smuggling from the region has changed. Instead of exiting through Turkey, the oil is now exiting through Iran.

Also, the beneficiary now is foreign oil companies and "unknown" subcontractors, not the regional government, in a process that can be described as a "mysterious maze."

Social media sites are flooded with electronic groups for tanker drivers, and there is a wide demand for tanker drivers to transport oil fromKurdistanTo the port of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, which is a very strange path.

Another indicator is that Iranian reports came out a few days ago, specifically in the city of Bushehr, conveying citizens’ dissatisfaction with the “suffocating congestion caused by Iraqi tankers loaded with oil and fuel,” in addition to major traffic accidents.

After all that, she cameReutersIn a lengthy investigation, she talks about oil smuggling routes.KurdistanAcross Iran, andTürkiyeAlso, but inTürkiye"In much smaller quantities and forms than Iran."

According to the information, foreign companies operating in the region produceKurdistan350 thousand barrels per day, and these companies sell the produced oil to "subcontractors", who distribute this oil or sell it to local refineries in a simple manner, and the other is smuggled at a rate of 200 thousand barrels per day, in a process that information indicates is carried out between foreign companies and contractors only, and has nothing to do with the government.KurdistanOr none of these revenues will enter the regional treasury, as it confirms.Reuters, as evidenced by data from foreign companies operating in the region.

But the selling price of a barrel from foreign companies inKurdistanIt is done at low prices, the price of a barrel of oil is sold for only $35, which means that foreign companies receive less than a quarter of a billion dollars per month, as subcontractors buy oil at these cheap prices, and in turn smuggle this oil.

This activity raises a lot of questions and question marks, the first of which is who are these subcontractors? How much do they sell the smuggled oil abroad for and how much do they profit from it? How do the tankers move from the oil-producing fields to the Iranian border? How do they enter?IranOfficially?

And where does this oil go? Since Iran is basically an oil producer, questions arise about whether Iran buys this oil at lower prices so that it can sell and export it to the world at the global price as Iranian oil, especially since Iran faces difficulties in developing oil production technologies.

Perhaps this matter clearly raises an explanation for how Iran became the second largest oil exporter inOPECAfter Saudi Arabia and removedIraqWithin a short period, Iran may have benefited from Kurdish oil for export and increased its share in the export market without the need to increase its oil production.

Another detail that can be taken into consideration is thatIraqHe has previously filed a lawsuit againstTürkiyeTo allow the passage of oilKurdistanAnd export it without approvalIraqHow can he deal with it?IraqWith Iran allowing the passage of the region's oil by tankers through its territory to the port of Bandar Abbas?   LINK

Tishwash:  The Central Bank explains the reasons for the rise in dollar prices

Today, Wednesday, a member of the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ahmed Barihi, explained the reasons for the rise in dollar exchange rates in the local market.

Berihi said in a statement to the Maalouma Agency, “The issue of the rise in the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar in the local market is not related to the measures taken by the bank, but rather due to the American restrictions imposed on the Central Bank and related to the electronic platform.”

He added, "Another reason related to the rise in the exchange rate of the dollar is the connection to the electronic platform that controls the floating of the currency in the market where it is less than the demand. Therefore, the price of the dollar will be raised and the platform is controlled by the US Federal Reserve, which will cause a difference from the official price."

During the past few days, the exchange rates of the dollar against the dinar recorded a noticeable increase in the stock market and banking shops in the capital, Baghdad, and the provinces.

During the current period, America has worked to destroy the Iraqi currency by imposing sanctions on private banks, and banning the dollar under many pretexts, which in one way or another led to a severe financial crisis in the local markets.   link

Tishwash:  Financial Supervision announces the preparation of a draft of the updated unified accounting system

The Financial Supervision Bureau announced, on Thursday, that it has taken measures to develop and improve the accounting and auditing professions in Iraq. While it referred to the issuance of the internal control guide binding on all government agencies, it confirmed the preparation of a draft of the updated unified accounting system in accordance with international standards.

The Deputy Chairman of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Qaisar Al-Saadi, said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Federal Financial Supervision Bureau seeks to achieve its objectives specified by its founding law, including developing the accounting and auditing professions in Iraq."

He explained that "one of the most prominent steps taken by the Bureau is issuing reports evaluating the internal control systems in ministries, entities not affiliated with a ministry, and governorates," indicating that "the aim of this is to raise the level of performance of these formations, enhance efforts to combat financial and administrative corruption, improve institutional performance, and work on the principle of preventive control to reduce this phenomenon."

He pointed out that "the Bureau issued the Internal Control Guide, which was circulated to all government agencies for mandatory adoption starting from 7/1/2024," noting that "this guide aims to help these agencies accomplish their work in a way that ensures tight control and oversight over financial transactions and the preservation of public money."

He added, "The Court has completed preparing a draft of the updated unified accounting system in accordance with international standards. This draft has been circulated to government agencies, unions and universities for the purpose of expressing their opinions and making appropriate amendments in preparation for its actual implementation in the near future."

He added: "The Bureau also contributed to holding the first session of the Audit and Accounting Standards Board in the Republic of Iraq for the year 2024 after an interruption of more than four years, during which the audit and accounting issues were discussed and appropriate decisions were taken regarding them, which contributes to developing the work of the profession in Iraq."

He pointed out that "these steps come within the framework of the Bureau's commitment to developing and improving the accounting and auditing professions in Iraq in line with international standards and contributing to enhancing integrity and transparency in government institutions."

He added, "The Bureau relies in its work on the international standards issued by the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The Bureau is also a prominent member of the organization and has many contributions, including participation as a member of (5) working groups, attendance at seminars between INTOSAI and the United Nations, and cooperation with the INTOSAI Development Initiative in its various programs, in addition to the Bureau assuming the chairmanship of the Strategic Planning Committee in the organization."

Al-Saadi explained that “the Court cooperates with international and local organizations and similar oversight bodies such as the Dutch Court of Audit in the field of performance evaluation and peer review, the Court of Auditors in Morocco in the field of judicial oversight, and the Polish Oversight Body in the field of risk-based auditing, as well as the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ), the Korea International Cooperation Agency (Koica), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jika), and the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation Program (ITEC).”

He pointed out to the "multiple activities with oversight bodies in Arab and Islamic countries such as the General Auditing Bureau in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Audit Bureau in the State of Qatar, the Turkish Court of Accounts, the Supreme Audit Court in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Accounting Council in the Algerian Republic, and many others," noting that "these standards and evidence contribute, along with international cooperation, to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Bureau in carrying out its oversight work in a way that ensures transparency and integrity in government institutions."

He stressed the "commitment of the Federal Audit Bureau to enhance transparency and integrity in all state institutions by working in accordance with international standards and effective cooperation with regulatory bodies and international organizations," stressing "continuing efforts to develop the accounting and auditing professions and providing technical and accounting support to ensure optimal performance and preservation of public funds, in addition to giving great importance to supporting the role of youth in building the future by enhancing their capabilities to be real partners in combating corruption and evaluating government performance in order to achieve the desired goals  link

Rv Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of 12 July 2024

Compiled 12 July 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: What we think we know as of Fri. 12 July 2024:

Now on Wed. 10 July 2024 Fox News discussed the NESARA Law – indicating that the nation had broken away from the Federal Reserve System by way of a Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 Sovereign nations. That act closed the Federal Reserve and IRS, while the US changed over to a sales tax on new items only – and the Deep State Cabal no longer had control of US Taxpayer monies.

Global Currency Reset:  (Opinions/Rumors)

An Email went out to Redemption Center Leaders and was received at 5 pm today Thurs. 11 July 2024. That email said that Tier4b would get our notifications either Sat, Sun or Monday to make appointments before or by Tues. 16 July.

There was a meeting in Reno today Thurs. 11 July where they decided when to pay out the Bond Holders, private groups and platform traders.

Another source said everything would start Sat. night and culminate on Sunday 14 July.

There was another meeting in Reno on Fri. 12 July and Tier4b could be notified to get their appointments any time after, but likely on either Sat, Sun or Monday 15 July.

There was a solid rate on the Dong.

You would be far better off to use the toll free number to get an appointment at the Redemption Center to do your exchange. They offer far higher rates than the banks. There was no reason to do exchanges at a bank.

The Redemption Centers would offer the Contract rate on the Dinar that is way higher than we expected.

Thurs. 11 July 2024 Wolverine:

We are just about to start any time or any day now to pull the trigger for the green light so get ready. This is what we have been waiting for, for a very long time. The powers above are saying any time now for the Green Light.

This means the opera, Carpathia’s beautiful words, the video and trumpets of freedom will be posted. This will be quite an emotional moment for all you guys, especially when the notifications come through.

Some bond holder platform leaders have received notifications, and this includes the NDA they needed to sign and other things they need to do to get paid. There are bond holders that must go to a redemption center to cash in.

So this is it. There is no more than I can say. We are waiting.

The private contractors are getting paid. Pretorious is about to go.  Very soon, maybe today or tomorrow. I am quite excited for that to happen.

I will be traveling soon, but I must go.  You will not hear from me for a while.

I have a special guest today. I want you to listen to what she has to say. She is part of the Chinese Elders. Her name is Elizabeth Rodriquez Ruiz.

Ms. Rodriguez: First of all, my time here is morning, so good morning to all the Chosen Ones.  It is my honor to be one of your speakers with Mr. Wolverine and thank you for this opportunity.  Wolverine saw my YouTube interview and there are lots of things happening right now.

My Name is Elizabeth Rodriquez Ruiz. I was born in the Philippines, and I immigrated to the USA Guam in 1975, so it has been 45 years now of being a resident, but I still hold a Philippine passport. I was here in the Philippines since June 2019 before the lockdown, kind of like house arrest, as I could not get out because I did not have the vaccine and was isolated.

As I told Wolverine, I am the only legitimate Heir of the Rodriguez Trust. This Trust will fund all the projects in all the countries of the world. It all starts in July of 2024, this year. This is the time of year that will explode with redemption.

How does it work, start, when how and who. I told Wolverine when I was back in the USA in Las Vegas, NV that my sources told me it would always start in Reno.

Everyone will get toll free numbers to tell you where to go and what type of facility location you will go to.

The minute you start your paperwork you must sign your non-disclosure.

The money is now 1% mobilized and the rest of the 99% will be received later from the center in the Philippines.

When the time comes, they will have an inauguration in the Philippines. There will be a huge change in the country. It will be a royal monarchy.

After the inauguration the facilitation of account holders, including people from bankers and holders of all documents accounts and assets, will be entitled to get 10% of their share.

Being heir to the Rodriguez Trust, I am the sole executor and all accounts will be done by sole executor as I am the only redeemer to execute this.

This month of July of 2024 is the platinum Jubilee. All is in place still waiting for greenlight. We are looking at any time this week, or next week, but July will have the most incredible global explosion. Anytime soon now it will happen, it all must be willed from God, we cannot control it. If you are not part of the physical and spiritual it will not work.

WOLVERINE: I received an audio from a paymaster, not sure which one. The paymaster said to be patient as the green light is about to go.  This came in an audio.  That is good news.

MS. RODRIGUEZ: We wait for the green light.  I wish I could go now to the bank to trigger the light, to redeem, but when you look at this globally, there is a time that it is meant to happen.  But the war came with Russia, then things were delayed  – the time has to be properly prepared.  

Anytime soon – it can happen, tomorrow or tonight, remember we must never lose our hope and to have faith.  All this is for only the Chosen Ones, as you were chosen for this.

Nader From The Mid East  What's going on in Iraq is really really good.  Last month you see me talking about this month, about July.  I said from now to July 8th you'll get some good news and that's exactly what happened.  You see every proof of possibility to revalue or reinstate.  I think it's reinstatement more than revaluation.

RayRen98  SOURCES ARE SAYING "ATTEMPTS" AT THE RATE CHANGE HAVE BEEN MADE EVERY DAY THIS WEEK SO FAR...TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE BEING BLAMED...TIME WILL TELL...

Walkingstick  All the sales of oil are now in Iraqi dinars  and no longer in American dollars...The National Oil Company of Iraq will now receive the Iraqi dinars, through them, into the banks of Iraq for the GOI to use.  No foreign currency.  Nobody stealing foreign currency or their currency.  Security and stability is because of the control Sudani has.

Foreigners Massively Dumping USD & Rushing To Gold | Alasdair Macleod

Liberty and Finance:  7-11-2024

Although many noticed the rising gold price over the past quarter, most do not realize that is a side-effect of savvy foreign holders of US dollars and bonds dumping the dollar, and not seeing a safe haven in Euros, Yen, or real estate, rushing into to gold as a safe haven asset.

They see the value of the US dollar is going down the drain. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the US national debt crisis is going to get worse, says Alasdair Macleod.

With foreigners massively dumping US dollars and US Treasuries, gold and silver "are the only protection you should consider," he says.

I Was Broke — Until a Financial Advisor Helped Me in These 4 Ways

I Was Broke — Until a Financial Advisor Helped Me in These 4 Ways

Vance Cariaga  Wed, July 10, 2024  GOBankingRates

If you need a financial advisor, there is no shortage of options. More than 330,000 financial advisors are employed around the country, according to the Finance Strategists website. Advisors who must meet industry and regulatory standards include certified financial planners, certified financial analysts and registered investment advisors. But there are also plenty of financial consultants who can include just about anyone.

Although many financial advisors are hired by rich clients to help them amass more wealth, advisors can also prove useful to people who have hit rock bottom financially and want to dig their way out. Even if you have little money to spend, you can use services like the Garrett Planning Network, which Experian describes as a “fee-only fiduciary advisor organization” that aims to lower barriers by charging only on an hourly, as-needed basis.

In some cases, you might even find a financial consultant among your professional or personal contacts who can offer advice at little or no cost, at least until you’re back in a position of financial strength.

This is especially useful if you happen to be broke and need a plan to start earning income, saving money and building wealth. One person who can speak from experience is Ben Grant, founder and CEO of LearnSales, a global sales training platform where he partners with noted author and money expert Grant Cardone.

Ben Grant’s journey from financial hardship to entrepreneurial success is a “powerful testament to the transformative impact of professional financial guidance,” according to correspondence shared with GOBankingRates.

As Grant told GOBankingRates, he had a talent for generating income but found himself “nearly broke” because of poor money management skills.

“Overspending and unwise investments had taken their toll,” he said. “Realizing I needed expert advice, I sought the help of a financial advisor, which proved to be a pivotal decision in my career. My experience illustrates how hiring a financial advisor can play a crucial role in overcoming financial hardship. With expert guidance, individuals can transform their financial status, make smarter decisions and build a more secure future.”

Here are four ways a financial advisor helped Grant when he was in financial trouble.

Wealthy people know the best money secrets. Learn how to copy them.

Budgeting and Expense Management

“My financial advisor helped me establish a comprehensive budgeting plan,” Grant said. “By tracking my expenses meticulously and identifying areas to cut costs, I regained control over my finances and allocated funds more effectively towards my business and personal growth.”

After today’s inflation report showing ‘only’ 3% inflation, the Federal Reserve is all but guaranteed to start slashing interest rates.

The Fed Chairman essentially promised as much to Congress earlier this week, and has warned that if they don’t start cutting interest rates soon, “we could undermine the [economic] recovery.”

These guys still don’t get it. At this point it’s not even about 3% inflation (which is still too high) or 2% inflation. It’s about prices going back down to pre-pandemic levels… or just lower in general.

But that’s just never going to happen. The Fed doesn’t care about price reductions; they’re happy with a slower rate of price increases… which is totally out of touch with what people want and need.

They’ve been itching to cut rates for months… almost desperate. And in large part that’s because they’re terrified about the US government’s insolvency.

The national debt is about to pass $35 trillion. And high interest rates mean that the annual interest bill this year will exceed the US military budget-- more than $800 billion-- for the first time in nearly 250 years of American history.

The Fed knows that they have to slash interest rates as quickly as possible. With ultra-low rates (like 1.5%), the interest bill on a $35 trillion national debt is manageable… as long as the federal government can rein in spending and stop the debt from growing further.

Of course there are two key problems with this thinking:

First, there is zero evidence that the government will rein in spending. If anything, they seem primed to spend even more. I’ve mentioned several times before that even the US government’s own budget forecasts project more than $22 trillion in additional debt over the next decade.

Second, slashing interest rates will most likely result in significant inflation-- just like we saw in 2021-2022.

We’ve written before how real assets are a safe haven from inflation, and I wanted to briefly discuss three real assets that look especially promising.

The first is physical gold and silver, which serve as a store of value-- especially during inflationary times.

Higher inflation will likely trigger a surge in demand, making the price of precious metals not only keep up with inflation, but exceed it.

But there is another reason why gold will do especially well the worse inflation gets.

The worse inflation becomes, and the worse the US national debt becomes, the more likely the US dollar will lose its spot as the dominant reserve currency. And central banks all over the world-- India, Poland, Singapore, etc. have been feverishly buying up physical gold over the past few years, most likely to prepare for that potential change.

So if inflation picks up, it’s a good bet that central banks will keep buying up gold-- and driving prices higher.

Gold mining stocks should also do extremely well in that scenario due to their exposure to gold prices.

What’s interesting right now, though, is that despite gold being near an all-time high, share prices of many gold mining companies are incredibly cheap.

That’s because central banks-- which have driven gold prices to record highs-- only buy physical gold bullion. They do not buy gold stocks.

However, while the price of gold has already increased substantially, the stock prices of many great gold miners has not.

This is because most of the current demand for gold is coming from central banks. And central banks only buy physical gold— not gold mining stocks.

This means that gold stocks are currently a bargain-- with a LOT of upside potential.

Last, US natural gas is another compelling real asset primed for huge growth.

Right now, natural gas prices in the US are dramatically lower than they are in Europe… and it’s easy to understand why: the US has some of the biggest natural gas reserves in the world, while Europe has almost nothing by comparison. (This is why Europe is so reliant on Russian gas).

And since Joe Biden has banned new LNG (liquefied natural gas) export terminals from the US, it’s difficult to move that US natural gas to Europe.

This is why prices in the US are less than $3, versus more than $10 in Europe. If US producers were free to export, prices in the US would rise, prices in Europe would fall, and the global natural gas prices would be more or less the same, similar to oil.

In terms of energy equivalence to oil, $3 per million BTU natural gas is the equivalent of paying around $15 - $20 for a barrel of oil. That’s cheap. And it means US natural gas is the most underpriced conventional energy commodity in the world.

But it probably won’t stay that way for long.

First, large tech companies, which are building massive, energy-hungry AI data centers, are also looking at putting in their own power plants… which will most likely be powered by natural gas.

Second, the new export terminal ban probably won’t last. There are lawsuits, legislation, and an upcoming election, any one of which could restart new LNG exports. When this happens, US natural gas prices could quickly rise.

In either case, natural gas producers stand to benefit substantially from higher prices. And it just so happens that shares of many of the best quality producers right now are laughably cheap, with low multiples relative to earnings, book value, and Free Cash Flow.

Looking at the overall investment landscape now, with many conventional stocks and indexes near all time highs, these three sectors strike me as some of the most promising investments for an inflationary environment.

4 Fraud Schemes You Should Be on the Lookout For

4 Fraud Schemes You Should Be on the Lookout For

Laura Beck   Wed, July 10, 2024  GOBankingRates

There are always unscrupulous individuals who would love to separate you from your hard-earned money. Not only that, they are always developing new ways to do so, as well as new twists on old scams.

You can keep yourself from falling victim to these criminals by educating yourself about these schemes and using a little common sense. Always approach unsolicited phone calls, emails, or texts with skepticism. If something feels off, trust your instincts and take a step back to assess the situation.

Here are four scams to be on the lookout for:

Wealthy people know the best money secrets. Learn how to copy them.

Pig Butchering Scams

A pig butchering scam is an elaborate con in which scammers build up your trust over an extended period, often through social media, dating apps, or text messages, before convincing you to invest in cryptocurrency.

“The ‘pig butchering’ scheme is a complex fraud that borrows elements from other existing scams,” said R. Persichitte, Affiliate Professor at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. “It typically begins with a romantic or a wrong number scheme to initiate contact.

A seemingly attractive individual will establish a casual relationship and then persuade you to make a small deposit into their phony investment, often using a legitimate site like Coinbase. They will then lure you into investing more by presenting fake statements of high returns. However, these returns are fictitious, and your money is lost when you transfer it.

To protect yourself from pig butchering, be skeptical of any unsolicited investment advice, especially from people you’ve only met online, or any texts from a “wrong number.”

Tishwash:  Iraq and the Inter-State Transformations in the Relationship with Washington

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was not seeking, during his recent visit to the United States, a media glare or a souvenir photo at the White House as much as he was seeking to bring about a qualitative shift in the relationship between Baghdad and Washington

A profound transformation in this relationship and to go beyond the stage of focusing on the security file that has dominated the relationship since 2003, and to move towards multiple partnerships in several fields. However, in the beginning, there is an urgent need to restore confidence between the two parties in a way that achieves the strategic interests of Iraq.

There are still sharp differences between the two parties, the most important of which is in the method of performance and management of files.

 It seems that Mr. al-Sudani seemed more willing to reach an understanding and present conditions that were not previously proposed in drawing up the relationship between the two parties, including financial guarantees for loans and other financial exchanges that were not clear in the exchange between Iraq and America. link

Mnt Goat   ...two main issues concerning the monetary policy...The first issue is about the cash outside of the banking system...that the percentage of cash outside the banking system reached 91%... they already told us they have plan to retrieve this money... as investors in the dinar...part of the 91% also includes our dinars. They told us this money is desperately needed in the banks...But how will they get ours, as investors? So, the answer is...the CBI will have to revalue the dinar enough to a significant level to get us foreign investors to run to the bank and turn it in.    Within Iraq, however it is much different and they only need to overcome the parallel market rate of the dollar and these notes will come flowing back in to the banks. This is also when they can begin the swap out to the newer lower denominations...  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat  The second is the reluctance of the US to allow the currency reform process to move ahead as the 3rd phase of the strategic plan calls for and is supposed to have already begun. But can it really begin without this measure? It is already a week into July and still the US has not given its confirmation as to the support they will give for this next part of the phase...there is not really much going on in the currency reform process...to indicate that the 3rd phase is started...One solution, as we learned, was for the three letter agencies to open the spigot and pour out the very good news about Iraq’s stability. Folks they are prepping for something really big in the very near future. They are trying to kickstart this 3rd phase of the strategic plan...  [Post 2 of 2]

G7 Ultimatum: Saudi Arabia Threatens Western Debt Sell-Off Over Russian Asset Seizure

Sean Foo:  7-11-2024

In a sudden reveal, Saudi Arabia issued a warning to G7 in anticipation of the Russian asset seizure.

They warned of dumping EU bonds if the Western powers decided to go ahead with confiscating Russia's sovereign assets.

While this won't immediately crater the US or the European bond market, it shows the Middle East looking to de-dollarize their reserves and trade.

BIOMETRIC PASSPORTS BY GOOGLE

"Google Wallet is rolling out support for American biometric passports. Users scan their passport with Google Wallet to add it as an ID pass, and can then perform identity verification by connecting their phone to an NFC scanner or scanning a QR code generated by the ID pass. They are still recommended to carry a physical copy of their passport, however."

"Google Wallet also added support for 29 more banks to its payment feature in June, and is up to 170 added this year alone, indicating the focus remains on payments, for now. Mobile driver’s licenses from several states are already available in Google Wallet.”

"In Europe, where member states are working towards launching interoperable digital wallets for all citizens, they will store national ID cards that function as travel IDs within the EU."

LIKE IT OR NOT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE DIRECTION THAT TECHNOLOGY IS TAKING US. ALL THE MORE REASON FOR LEGISLATION THAT PROTECTS THE PRIVACY AND SECURITY OF INDIVIDUALS.

BRAD GARLINGHOUSE COMMENTS REGARDING THE LAWSUIT AGAINST RIPPLE

"As many have noticed - and some have already pointed out - there have been numerous misleading and some factually inaccurate headlines describing the decision made by a California judge yesterday in the class action lawsuit about XRP. (I’m happy to see some correcting them - I wish I could tag / link them all here)

To be absolutely clear, this is a big win – all class action claims in the suit were DISMISSED, and absolutely nothing in the decision negates or changes the fact that XRP is, in and of itself, not a security (per the NY Court decision). The CA ruling dismissed all allegations that Ripple had somehow violated federal securities law by selling XRP.

As for the single state law claim that will now be scheduled for trial: the sole plaintiff didn’t buy XRP directly from Ripple and can’t say if he even heard the statement before he traded and only owned a couple hundred XRP. This was a clear example of the trolls that unsuccessfully tried to take advantage of the US legal system and distort statements to seek 100’s of millions in class action settlements."

UNISWAP LABS PRESSES SEC TO DROP RULES REGARDING DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES

"Since at least April 2023, the SEC has proposed expanding the definition of what qualifies as an exchange in the Exchange Act of 1934 — explicitly arguing that it should include crypto market participants in DeFi. Uniswap has been among those arguing against it. In a July 9 letter, Uniswap added further arguments following a comment letter it sent last month, calling for the SEC to drop its proposed amendments. "

"Its new argument is that with the Chevon decision — made during the Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo Supreme Court case on June 28 — courts are no longer required to defer to federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws. Uniswap said this means the SEC will be merely wasting “limited resources” trying to get the definition of “exchange” amended, which had already been “likely to draw, and unlikely to survive, a judicial challenge” even before the Chevron decision. "

"“For all of these reasons, the Commission should not adopt the proposed amendments,” said Uniswap. “The Commission drafted the proposed amendments against a legal backdrop that no longer exists.”

European stablecoin market declines under newly imposed MiCA rules.
Stablecoins trading momentum have slowed amid a broader crypto market downturn.

The market capitalization of European stablecoins declined in June due to the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, according to CCData’s latest stablecoin report.

The market cap of Euro-based stablecoins fell by 2.51%, hitting a seven-month low of $307 million, the lowest since November 2023. During this period, Tether’s EURT stablecoin’s market cap dropped by 26%, mainly due to delistings from major exchanges like Bitstamp.

CCData noted that MiCA’s implementation spurred interest in stablecoins that comply with local laws. MiCA, the EU’s comprehensive crypto regulation package, was recently enacted. It allows firms licensed by one member state to operate throughout the EU.

However, stablecoin issuers like Tether have criticized the rules for their stringent requirements, such as limits on trading volumes for certain stablecoins.

Despite these challenges, several issuers and their stablecoins, including Circle’s USDC and EURC, Societe Generale’s EURCV, Monerium’s EURe, Membrane’s EUROe, and Quantoz’s EURD, are recognized under the law.

Stablecoins volume fall

In June, the global stablecoin market cap rose by 0.53% to $161 billion, marking a nine-month growth streak and the highest stablecoin market cap since April 2022.

CCData said:

“Stablecoin market dominance is currently at 6.83%, rising from 6.22% in May. The increase in the stablecoin dominance highlights the negative price action of digital assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum retracing the gains made following the surprise approval of spot Ethereum ETFs in the US.”

Despite the growth, stablecoin trading momentum has slowed amid a downturn in the digital asset market.

Stablecoin trading volume on centralized exchanges fell by 18% to a seven-month low of $907 billion in June. Similarly, on-chain transfer volume decreased for the second consecutive month by 7.5% to $1.8 trillion, the lowest since February 2024. This decline aligns with ongoing bearish market sentiments.

The report also highlighted that USDC had the highest on-chain transfer volume in June, surpassing USDT and DAI.

CCData stated:

“Among the top five stablecoins on Ethereum, USDC leads with $786 billion in on-chain transfer volume, representing 43.6% of the market share. USDT and DAI follow with transfer volumes of $616 billion and $334 billion, accounting for 34.2% and 18.5% of the volumes.”

The meeting discussed controls and consumer protection measures, focusing on registration procedures and obtaining licenses for e-commerce activities.

The committee defined service providers and established a licensing process through an electronic platform to be developed by the Ministry of Commerce. Committee members emphasized the importance of licensing regulations to safeguard all parties involved in e-commerce."

FTC MAKES A STATEMENT ON CRYPTO AS ASSETS ENTER NEW PHASE

"The chairperson of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Rostin Behnam is warning that the crypto industry is likely to face more headwinds from regulators over the coming months.

Speaking at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference, the CFTC chair says that the crypto industry will “probably see in the next six to 18 months or six to 24 months another cycle of enforcement actions” amid “asset appreciation and [renewed] interest by retail investors.”

"Without a regulatory framework, without that transparency, without those tools that we typically use as regulators, you are going to continue to see this fraud and manipulation.

And putting aside the legitimacy and where this technology may go and what role it might play in our economy and commerce, the internet, digital assets generally… we just have to think about things from a regulatory and consumer protection standpoint. And I think that needs to be our guiding light in terms of driving this conversation, filling these regulatory gaps and creating this framework that’s ultimately going to protect American investors.”

IF CRYPTOS ARE CLASSIFIED AS COMMODITIES INSTEAD OF SECURITIES, THEY WOULD FALL UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CFTC INSTEAD OF THE SEC

Kevin O'Leary Says You Can Survive On $500,000 And 'Do Nothing Else To Make Money'

Kevin O'Leary Says You Can Survive On $500,000 And 'Do Nothing Else To Make Money'

Margaret Jackson  Updated Wed, Jul 10, 2024,

Americans are all about that $1.5 million nest egg for retirement — living easy with golf trips and fancy cars.

But "Shark Tank" tough guy Kevin O'Leary says to hold on — you can retire with just $500,000 — a big difference from the $5 million he suggested last August.

According to Mr. Wonderful, the key is investing smartly and maybe scaling back your spending after you clock out for good.

"You can live off half a million bucks in the bank and do nothing else to make money," O'Leary said. "Do not invest in your brother's bar. Or a bowling alley, or a bar, or all that other crap, you'll lose your money."

But it depends on the type of lifestyle you want. According to Northwestern Mutual research, most Americans believe they need nearly $1.5 million to retire. That's up 53% since 2020 and 15% from last year.

O'Leary's logic is that you can make about 5% in fixed income with little risk, but if you only have $500,000, that amounts to $25,000 per year. If you are willing to ride the volatility, you can invest in equities, providing up to a 9% return or about $45,000 annually.

If you aim for a secure retirement, the 4% rule is widely used. The rule suggests retirees can withdraw 4% of their retirement savings annually for 30 years, adjusting the amount each year to keep up with inflation. Developed by financial adviser Bill Bengen, it's based on historical data analyzing stock and bond returns, aiming to ensure retirees don't run out of money.

Consider real-world spending. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average retiree over 65 spends roughly $52,141 annually. Rounding up for safety, you'd need at least $1.3 million saved to generate $53,000 per year using the 4% rule. That means if you had $500,000 saved, as O'Leary suggested, withdrawing 4% annually for 30 years would only provide a safe spending amount of $20,000 per year.
