Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said today, Sunday, October 13, 2024, that all he aspires to is to serve the Iraqis and put Iraq first in our government policy.

Al-Sudani said in an interview with CNN that: "The Iraqi government committed before the House of Representatives to rearrange the relationship with the international coalition to fight the terrorist ISIS."

He explained that "the international coalition was formed based on the invitation of the Iraqi government in 2014 and achieved, with the help of Iraq and friends, a historic achievement for the region and the world by defeating ISIS," stressing that "ISIS gangs do not represent a threat to the state."

The Prime Minister explained that "Iran is a neighboring country that is linked to Iraq in many areas and supports the political process," noting that "Iraq is the only country in the region that has balanced relations between countries that may have problems or disagreements, and it is a country that is completely different from the past stage."

Al-Sudani continued, "Iraq is witnessing unprecedented economic development and a stable political system. It is building balanced relations, confronting all corruption problems, and working on commercial and administrative reforms."

"We are turning into a promising country that represents a cornerstone in the stability of the Middle East," he said, adding, "Iraq and the United States are bound by the Strategic Framework Agreement in 2008, and we are working to activate it."

He stressed that "the Iraqi people are currently living in a state of hope and optimism."   LINK

Gold Telegraph: Commodities Drive our World

10-13-2024

Russia has proposed a BRICS multicurrency system which includes the creation of centers for mutual trade in commodities such as:

• Oil
• Natural Gas
• Grain
• Gold

Everything is starting to come together.

This is years in the making.

Real leaders don’t care at all about credit.

They only care about results.

When BRICS settles more commodities in local currencies, people will not only see a shift in the system’s fabric but also witness its very foundations being rewired.

Commodities drive our world.

Finance is built on top of it.

Don’t forget that.

Let it fill you with fire, not anger, when people doubt you.

People have doubted me my entire life.

It makes me feel alive.

Strive to make the future haunt them.

Award-winning economist Jeffrey Sachs warns the U.S. government has weaponized the dollar, instead of using it as a medium of exchange or store of value.

The world is waking up.

New articles are coming this week.

Militia Man  I truly believe one of their agendas in sustainable development is revaluing the Iraqi currency... Sudani stated many time, be careful Iraq, Iraq is stronger than the dollar...they're going to be (as hammered at home) somewhat of the savior of the global financial system.  How are you going to do that at 1310 when you never did it before...Obviously they're going to do something completely different.

Question: "What's the process of the new rate going live on Forex?The CBI, when they officially announce it to the world at the same moment those words are coming out of their mouth, then they push a button that sends the official rate all over the world, not just to currency exchanges but to banks, to reserves, to those that need the information...

BRICS: US Banks Face $500B in Losses as De-Dollarization Grows: what's Going On?

Geopolitical Analyst:  10-14-2024

While the BRICS alliance is strengthening its banking system, the US seems to be on a downhill.

In the last three years alone, 15 US banks collapsed renewing fears of financial instability across the country. The BRICS bloc has pushed de-dollarization efforts especially since it expanded its numbers.

Now, the pressure is mounting on the US dollar, as the country’s banks face over $500 billion in unrealized losses, according to a new report. A finance expert at Florida Atlantic University revealed that the United States’ unrealized losses on investment securities are over $500 billion as of the end of Q2 2024.

This is a slight downtrend from the first quarter of the year: a decrease to $513 billion from $516 billion. However, it’s still a significant loss for one of the strongest economies in the world.

Banks are now saddled with more than half a trillion dollars on the balance sheets in their papers. The development shows that the US banks are at risk while the central banks of BRICS are massively accumulating gold to hedge against the US dollar.

Rebel Cole, Ph.D., Lynn Eminent Scholar Chaired Professor of Finance in FAU’s College of Business. He says that despite the slight downtrend in unrealized losses for banks between quarters: US banks aren’t in the clear. “The 10-year treasury yield has been extraordinarily volatile for the past two years as inflation has increased.

Banks are also affected by their exposure to uninsured deposits, so the combination of unrealized losses and exposure to uninsured deposits can be particularly pernicious.” This combination can be especially lethal as the US dollar suffers as well from inflation and BRICS pressure.

The Growing US Debt and Bank Losses Weakens US Dollar, Economy Against BRICS. Furthermore, the United States’ debt has continued to rise this year past its all-time high. The current debt nationwide sits at over $35.7 trillion. Over the last three days alone, the debt has surged by a noticeable $345 billion.

 The US government is currently paying $3 billion in interest on its debt per day. The increased debt and unrealized losses are only putting more pressure on the US economy, chagrin to US investors but to the pleasure of BRICS.

While the unrealized losses are only on the balance sheets, they could become a liability when the banks require liquidity. This puts the US banking system under pressure as BRICS continues dumping US treasuries and the dollar.

The BRICS alliance is also spearheading the de-dollarization movement by convincing developing countries to end reliance on the dollar. With more countries looking to dethrone the greenback, further pressure could be put on the US banks, and thus the entire US economy.

Growing pressure for a new global currency comes after continued weaponisation of the US dollar in the form of sanctions and trade wars. Many countries are seeking greater independence from the US financial system.

For decades, the United States has been considered the global hegemon. However, BRICS nations now account for more than 40 per cent of the world’s population and have an aggregated global GDP of 31.5 per cent.

This surpasses the G7’s (United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom) GDP of 30.7 per cent.

 It’s conceivable to see BRICS nations entirely self-sufficient, trading among themselves without any reliance on the United States.

As the reliance on US dollars diminishes, central banks have since 2023 been seen dumping their dollar reserves. This has led to hyperinflation, a spike in interest rates to compensate for the loss of purchasing power, and falling asset prices, further accelerating US decline.

 The trend of de-dollarisation is occurring – but it is not something unique.

Let's take a look at why the world is turning away from the US dollar.

HOSKINSON DETAILS CARDANO’S BILL OF RIGHTS FOR BLOCKCHAIN GOVERNANCE



Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, unveiled a framework for blockchain governance in his latest broadcast, introducing what he refers to as a “Bill of Rights” for the Cardano ecosystem.

HOSKINSON DETAILS CARDANO’S BILL OF RIGHTS FOR BLOCKCHAIN GOVERNANCE

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, unveiled a framework for blockchain governance in his latest broadcast, introducing what he refers to as a “Bill of Rights” for the Cardano ecosystem.

This initiative, centered around 11 foundational blockchain tenantsaims to establish a constitutional foundation that will guide the development and governance of Cardano and potentially influence broader blockchain technologies.

Broadcasting live from Colorado on October 13, 2024, Hoskinson emphasized the collaborative efforts underpinning this initiative“More than 50 workshops have already been held,” he stated. The process has seen participation from 1,400 individuals and the election of 63 delegates.

At the heart of Hoskinson’s announcement is a blog post titled “The 11 Blockchain Tenants Towards a Blockchain Bill of Rights.” He clarified that these tenants are not exclusive to Cardano but are intended as a universal framework applicable to various blockchain systems

“These tenants are meant to capture the natural durability of these systems and the rights of their users,” Hoskinson explained, drawing parallels to human rights enshrined in constitutional law.

The 11 Cardano Blockchain Tenants
Hoskinson provided an in-depth exploration of each of the 11 tenants, elucidating their significance and practical implications for Cardano:

1.  Transaction Censorship Resistance: “Transactions cannot be slowed down or censored and will be expediently served for their intended purpose,” Hoskinson stated. He likened this principle to the freedom of speech, emphasizing the importance of maintaining user autonomy within the system.

“Transactions express the ways the users wish to engage with the system so users should be free and able to do so in a manner proportional to their intent; this excludes censorship but also mandates expediency and processing.”

2.  Predictable Transaction Costs: Hoskinson asserted that “the cost of a transaction should be predictable and cannot be unreasonable,” which is essential for user planning and system sustainability.

He acknowledged the challenges in balancing resource allocation with user intent, especially in high-demand scenarios. Mechanisms like tiered pricing and intent-based ledgers are being explored to address these issues.

3.  Fair Recognition And Compensation: Addressing the equitable treatment of contributors, Hoskinson noted, “Every user’s inputs and contributions to the system will be recognized, recorded, processed, and assessed fairly.” This tenant seeks to ensure that both maintenance and development efforts are adequately rewarded, preventing incentives failures within the ecosystem. He also highlighted the need to fairly compensate various roles, from stake pool operators to governance participants.

4.  Data And Value Portability: Reflecting principles similar to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Hoskinson emphasized the importance of user consent in data handling. “The value and data users contribute or create will not be locked or processed without their consent,” he stated. He advocates for user control over personal assets and information.

5.  Resource Efficiency: “No resources will be unnecessarily spent,” Hoskinson explained, highlighting the necessity of minimizing resource utilization through efficient protocol design. This tenant aims to prevent systemic bloat and ensure the long-term viability of the blockchain. Examples include protocol optimizations that reduce transaction sizes without compromising security.

6.  Safe Preservation Of Value And Information: Hoskinson discussed the dual aspects of this tenant: preserving the integrity of information against threats like quantum attacks and ensuring value stability through mechanisms like stablecoins. “The system will safely preserve the value and information stored within it,” he stated, emphasizing both data integrity and asset stability as critical components.

7.  Minimization Of Unnecessary Resource Expenditure: This tenant focuses on resource optimization, ensuring that Cardano operates efficiently without wasting resources. Hoskinson highlighted the transition from Plutus V1 to V2 as an example, where transaction sizes were significantly reduced, enhancing overall system efficiency.

8.  Fair And Representative Governance: “The system will treat users fairly and will evolve accordingly to their collective will, aiming at its long-term sustainability and viability,” Hoskinson declared. 

This tenant emphasizes the importance of inclusive governance, where all stakeholders have a voice in the system’s evolution. The upcoming Constitutional Convention in Buenos Aires aims to formalize these governance principles.

9.  User Privacy Preservation: Emphasizing data privacy, Hoskinson stated, “Users’ privacy, both in terms of their actions and their data, should be preserved.” Drawing parallels to GDPR, he advocated for minimal disclosure and selective, contextual data sharing. This tenant addresses the balance between transparency and privacy, ensuring users retain control over their personal information.

10.  Compliance with Local Laws and Regulations: “The system will offer users ways to engage that do not require them to break local laws and regulations,” Hoskinson explained. This tenant acknowledges the global nature of Cardano and the necessity for users to remain compliant with their respective jurisdictions.

11.  Transparency, Predictability, and Verifiability: The final tenant mandates that “the system’s operation should be transparent, predictable, verifiable, interpretable, and without asymmetries.” Hoskinson emphasized the importance of open-source protocols and public verifiability to ensure trust and accountability within the ecosystem.

The Way Forward
Hoskinson detailed the ongoing efforts to formalize these tenants through decentralized governance. “You have to have decentralized governance before you go down that road because only through decentralized governance can you make a decision for everyone everywhere, that’s the point of Voltaire,” he remarked. 

The upcoming Constitutional Convention in Buenos Aires, Argentina, scheduled for December 2024, will bring together delegates from 50 countries to finalize and approve the constitutional text based on these tenants.

The founder underscored the significance of this initiative beyond Cardano, suggesting that other blockchain communities could adopt similar frameworks to balance technical innovation with ethical governance. 

“These tenants are being actively debated by the Cardano community […] they will act as beacons in the far horizon that will pull Cardano and other blockchain communities to where they intend to travel to,” Hoskinson stated.

Hoskinson concluded the video by highlighting the importance of preserving the system’s integrity over short-term gains. “We should never sacrifice the integrity of the system for the sake of short-term gain or short-term progress on some arbitrary metric like token price or adoption,” he asserted.

GOLD FEVER HITS COSTCO: 77% OF STORES SELL OUT AMID SOARING DEMAND FOR BULLION

Costco’s gold bars are flying off the shelves as record-high gold prices spark a buying frenzy across the U.S. A recent survey found that 77% of Costco stores offering gold sold out in early October. The trend reflects growing demand for gold as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.

Costco’s Gold Bars Are Selling Out Amid Record Gold Prices
Gold bars from American multinational wholesale corporation Costco have become a highly sought-after item, selling out from store shelves across the U.S. as gold prices reach record highs. 

A survey of Costco outlets in 46 U.S. states revealed that 77% of stores stocking gold bars sold out within the first week of October, Bloomberg reported. 

The retailer’s ability to offer gold at competitive prices, combined with membership rewards, has made it a popular destination for those seeking a hedge against inflation.

Costco provides bullion at prices below those of traditional precious metals dealers, and loyal members can receive up to 4% in rewards, further boosting the appeal of buying gold at the big-box retailer. 

Sourav Sethiaan analytics engineer from New Jersey, has taken advantage of Costco’s convenient gold offerings. Sethia, who regularly buys gold bars at the store, said he receives calls whenever new stock arrives, allowing him to purchase when prices dip. His experience is part of a larger trend of consumers flocking to Costco as gold prices soared nearly 30% this year.

The metal’s appeal as a safe haven amid inflation and economic uncertainty has driven many to seek out the stability that gold provides. According to Josh Young, a Houston-based money manager who bought a gold bar and coin from Costco:

It’s physical and gold does have a long history of being a store of value even though there’s no cash flow from it. It’s a good personal diversifier.

Costco’s foray into the bullion market has drawn significant attention since it began selling gold bars in 2023. The retailer’s chief financial officer Gary Millerchip highlighted the popularity of its gold products. He was quoted as saying:

We are glad to be able to offer gold and silver items for our members. It’s a great example of our merchants constantly finding new ways to deliver uniqueness and value.

Shoppers are drawn to Costco’s gold offerings not just for their investment value but for the convenience of purchasing a long-standing store of wealth at a familiar location. Many customers appreciate the ability to diversify their assets with minimal hassle.

Despite the high demand, Costco’s success in the gold market may not influence overall prices, as the volumes sold are relatively small. However, according to industry experts, the retailer’s strong sales reflect sustained support for gold

As spot prices for the metal continue to rise, Costco is helping make gold more accessible to average consumers. Nicky Shiels, head of metals strategy at MKS PAMP, noted that Costco is attracting “a whole new cohort of retail buyers,” adding that this could have positive long-term effects on the market.

RIPPLE’S CEO CLAIMS SEC IGNORES COURT RULING ON XRP STATUS

▪️Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer, Brad Garlinghouse, argues the SEC overlooks a vital court ruling.

▪️The SEC is appealing a decision that states XRP is not a monetary instrument.

▪️Bitnomial is also taking action against the SEC over its claims on XRP options.


The company’s founder has accused the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission  of overlooking a court conclusion on the token’s classification.

This verdict determined that XRP is not a security and raised questions about the commission’s authority. Consequently, industry stakeholders are closely monitoring these developments as legal disputes escalate.

Legal Differences Escalate  

Recently, the SEC’s Notice of Appeal has sparked discussion. This Notice aims to challenge the summary judgment and final ruling in the SEC vs. Ripple case. This high-profile legal battle has persisted for over four years and attracted considerable attention.

 In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that programmatic sales of XRP do not meet the third prong of the Howey Test. This test determines whether an asset qualifies as a security.

In response to the SEC’s complaint, Ripple plans to file a cross-appeal. The SEC contests a decision that includes a $125 million fine against Ripple for its institutional the coin’s  purchase.

The organisation’s Chief Legal OfficerStuart Alderoty,  stated that the SEC’s inquiry does not affect the  rules of clarity. Furthermore, this response has led to a positive shift in sentiment among the currency holders.

Bitnomial’s Legal Action  
Additionally, Bitnomial Inc. has filed a lawsuit against the SEC. This lawsuit highlights ongoing regulatory challenges. It stems from the SEC’s efforts to assert jurisdiction over digital asset derivatives

Bitnomial intends to launch physically delivered XRP Futures after receiving self-certification from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission  on August 9, 2024. However, the SEC later contacted Bitnomial and claimed jurisdiction over the XRP US Dollar Futures contract.

Bitnomial argues that the SEC’s claims are unwarrantedThe exchange insists that these offerings should be classified as commodity derivatives rather than securities.

Support for this position comes from the recent decision by the Southern District of New York. This ruling confirmed that XRP is not inherently a security and was not classified as such in secondary market trades.

Implications for Cryptocurrency Regulation  
As these legal battles unfold, the cryptocurrency community watches closely. The SEC’s pursuit of regulatory authority raises important questions about future cryptocurrency regulations in the United States. The outcomes could set serious precedents for Ripple Bitnomial and the broader digital asset ecosystem. Industry participants await clarity as these legal disputes continue to evolve.

3 Things the Wealthy Worry About Most

2 out 3 millionaires in the US don’t consider themselves rich — here are the 3 things the wealthy worry about most

Most people in America don't believe they're rich.  In fact, only 12% of the population thinks they're wealthy, according to recent research from Edelman Financial Engines.

2 out 3 millionaires in the US don’t consider themselves rich — here are the 3 things the wealthy worry about most

Most people in America don't believe they're rich.  In fact, only 12% of the population thinks they're wealthy, according to recent research from Edelman Financial Engines.

Surprisingly, it's not just low- and middle-income households who don't feel flush with cash. A separate Northwestern Mutual study revealed only 33% of millionaires count themselves among the rich.

With so many millionaires reporting they don't feel great about their finances, it's worth looking at exactly what has this demographic group so concerned.

Here are three top fears of wealthy Americans so you can see how their fears compare to what average Americans worry about.

How Taxes Impact Retirement

For wealthy Americans, their No. 1 retirement concern isn't whether they'll have enough money to retire comfortably or have enough cash to last for life. Instead, Northwestern Mutual reveals their top fear is how taxes are likely to impact their retirement.

Concerns about taxation have prompted 61% of millionaires to create a plan to reduce the share of their retirement savings going to the IRS. These plans include strategic withdrawals, using a mix of traditional and Roth accounts, and claiming tax breaks for charitable deductions.

For Americans who are living on less, obviously running short of money is a more pressing concern than future tax bills. Still, even lower and middle-income individuals should consider how their retirement income will be affected by taxation.

The Senior Citizens League reports around half of all households now face taxes on Social Security benefits. Many older Americans whose income comes primarily from 401(k)s, IRAs or other accounts with taxable withdrawals could easily find themselves among this group. Taxes on withdrawals from these accounts will also cut into the amount of money they have to spend.

Making a strategic tax plan by borrowing the techniques of the rich and choosing a good mix of tax-advantaged accounts is a smart move no matter how big your bank account.

Mon. 14 Oct. 2024 the old banking system—Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan— was expected to collapse, with the QFS taking over as stock markets crash.

Wed. 16 Oct. is a designated celebration day for Iraq and the day they will (allegedly) pay their contractors in the new Dinar Rate.

Brace yourselves—the storm is upon us.

The Earth Alliance, Star Link, and military are ready to execute the final phase. The old world is crumbling, and a new era of freedom is beginning. For years, the Earth Alliance has been preparing, quietly building a secure network of satellites that will make this possible.

The EBS broadcast could last up to 10 days, depending on ground conditions. During this time, there will be no internet, no social media, no TV, no mainstream news. Stock up on food, water, and supplies—you won’t be able to access stores or services during this period.

The Deepstate’s financial institutions will collapse. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) will replace the corruptt system, marking the greatest wealth transfer in history. Banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated, replaced by a fair system that serves the people.

Sun. 13 Oct. 2024 Russia’s Gold Standard, QFS Satellites, and Starlink Annihilate the Fiat System—Globalist Financial Control SHATTERED as Deepstate Scrambles to Hide Their Collapse! …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

As of October 11, 2024, the pieces of the globalist control puzzle are falling apart. What’s happening now will make everything else look like child’s play. The Russian gold-backed ruble is fully operational, but it’s just the beginning. New intelligence reveals that China, India, and Brazil are quietly aligning with Russia in a multi-nation gold-backed currency alliance to take down SWIFT—the Deepstate’s financial chokehold on the world.

SWIFT, the dirty money machine of the DS, is crumbling. This is an attack on the petrodollar, and as the world turns away from fiat currency, the DS’s empire is collapsing. The new gold-backed ruble is tied to Russia’s energy markets, and now Europe is on the verge of financial ruin. Countries like Germany, France, and Italy are in secret negotiations to move away from the dollar and adopt the gold-backed ruble.

Militia Man  Iraq is filthy with assets.  All non-oil income...natural resources...are taken into consideration when they figure a Real Effective Exchange rate which we haven't seen.  The original $3.22 was based off oil.  It was not based off non-oil...taxes at the borders, income derived from phone bills, electronics, sales tax, things of that nature.

Question: "Are we waiting for after our elections or IYO does it have anything to do with it?No, our elections have nothing to do with the monetary reform of Iraq.  No, those are completely two different tracks, two different directions...destinations.  Although one is depending on the other.  Why do you think the US Treasury told Sudani, get your butt back there and get this done?

Tishwash:  Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq receives the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Iraq

His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, received Her Excellency the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Iraq, Ms. Christiane Homann.

During the meeting, they discussed banking relations, enhancing the financial inclusion plan in Iraq, and the importance of digital transformation, in addition to providing full support to Al-Riyada Bank for financing small projects, which will launch its services soon.
His Excellency the Governor stressed that there is a great desire among citizens to use electronic cards, which enhances electronic payment in Iraq, as the Central Bank of Iraq has taken many steps in this direction in coordination with the relevant authorities.

His Excellency explained that Al-Riyada Bank will provide its services to an important segment of customers, as it aims to provide support to emerging small and medium enterprises, as it will be a bank different from other banks through its unconventional products that will contribute to creating job opportunities for various social groups in society, and open new horizons in a stable investment environment, noting that there will be representative offices in most Iraqi banks to facilitate customers' access to it and benefit from its services.

The plan to reform the government and private banking sector was reviewed with direct support from the Prime Minister to achieve a stable, secure and efficient sector.

For her part, the German Ambassador expressed her country's readiness to provide advice and technical support for such important projects that support the common goal of diversifying the Iraqi economy.

Tishwash:  Pursuing Reform: Q&A With Iraq’s Central Bank Governor Ali Muhsen Al-Allaq

October 10, 2024

The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Muhsen al-Allaq, speaks to Global Finance about the main challenges and top priorities for the bank.

Global Finance: Iraq went through decades of wars and crises. How did that impact the Iraqi banking sector?

 Ali Muhsen al-Allaq: The banking sector faced severe headwinds starting with the Iraq-Iran war of 1980-1988, which damaged the country’s financial stability and the banks’ ability to service internal debt. With the 1990’s crisis and the Kuwait war, the dinar’s value then collapsed on the parallel market. That created a major challenge for banks in settling deposits and loans, ultimately undermining public confidence in the banking system.

More recently, the fall of the former regime coupled with terrorism, the war against the Islamic State, and ongoing security and political unrest directly impact banks’ ability to attract savings. In times of uncertainty, particularly during displacement in war-torn areas, individuals tend to hold onto cash.

On the other hand, Iraq’s isolation from the rest of the world, starting in the 1990s, resulted in a large technological gap. This is particularly true of state-owned banks, which inherited problems from previous decades. They find themselves unable to keep up with the recent challenge of building a solid private sector to help diversify the economy.

GF: What is the top priority for the Central Bank of Iraq currently?

Al-Allaq: Our primary objective is to maintain price stability while also promoting sustainable development. The CBI is continuously trying to balance its economic responsibilities in light of the inflationary waves currently impacting the global economy, which have a severe impact on the cost of living for low- and middle-income households. Given Iraq’s reliance on imports, the CBI works hard to stabilize prices by controlling liquidity levels. The central bank also supports economic growth by financing projects that stimulate local production and reduce imports. Finally, the CBI also drives banking sector reform and promotes financial inclusion through electronic payments to deepen the overall level of banking services in Iraq.

GF: What are the main challenges facing the central bank?

Al-Allaq: Iraq’s delay in keeping pace with technology, due to prolonged security and political crises, has made banking sector reform a top priority for us. Because reform takes time, we have set the stability of exchange rates as a first, and very challenging, intermediate goal. The ongoing crises have eroded public confidence in the banking sector, reducing the impact of action on interest rates on the real economy—a crucial tool for all central banks, especially during inflationary periods.

Additionally, the low level of financial depth, the prevalence of an unregulated small and midsize enterprise [SME] network and the heavy reliance on the oil sector exacerbate structural imbalances. That makes our country vulnerable to external shocks, leading to increased budget deficits and rising internal public debt, all of which further weaken the impact of monetary policies on the real economy

GF: The Iraqi banking sector is under international scrutiny, with concerns that some countries sanctioned by the United States access US dollars through Iraq. How do you combat fraud and money laundering?

Al-Allaq: The central bank is striving to strengthen Iraqi lenders through various measures including intensified controls, procedures and inspections targeting banking and non-banking financial institutions, and the establishment of an AML/CFT and a compliance office in Baghdad. To ensure a high level of compliance with global regulatory standards, we also contract with specialized international companies to pre-audit foreign transfers, restrict the delivery of US dollars to travelers at Iraqi airports and conduct enhanced internal processes regarding all transactions in foreign currencies.

GF: How can the Central Bank of Iraq help diversify Iraq’s economy?

Al-Allaq: One of our primary goals is to promote sustainable development by supporting bank liquidity and directing it toward private sector projects. In 2015, the CBI launched two key initiatives: the One Trillion Initiative to finance small and midsize enterprises through commercial banks, and the Five Trillion Initiative to fund large projects via specialized banks. These efforts have expanded to include a one trillion dinar [$770 million] initiative for renewable energy, aimed at addressing our country’s electricity challenges and climate concerns.

These initiatives are designed to develop the non-oil sector and drive economic diversification. As a result, non-oil GDP grew by 4.4%, reaching 87.7 trillion dinars in 2023, driven by growth in manufacturing, construction, trade and services. Additionally, the central bank’s National Strategy for Bank Lending has further supported economic diversification by organizing funding for private sector projects  link

Prime Minister's Advisor: Implementation of the 2024 budget is proceeding smoothly

The Parliamentary Finance Committee is expected to discuss the 2025 budget next November, amid a general trend to pass it easily and not amend it significantly, while the Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Salih, stated that the 2024 budget that entered into force had a "precautionary deficit" of about 64 trillion dinars.

Salih said, in an interview with "Al-Sabah": The average Iraqi oil sales for 2024 were estimated at no less than $75 per barrel, noting that the general financial need for "bridge loans" (which are short-term loans) to address the possibility of a deficit may not exceed 10 trillion dinars in all cases, which are borrowing amounts permitted under Law No. 13.

The financial advisor added that the country's "financial life" in 2024 is proceeding smoothly, wondering, otherwise how did the Ministry of Finance issue 2024, in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq, "achievement bonds" for public subscription.

Saleh explained that these bonds are denominated in Iraqi dinars and come in multiple categories, including a category of 500,000 Iraqi dinars for two years with an annual return of 6.5%, indicating that these bonds are a safe investment, as the government is committed to paying the annual interest on them, and they are an integral part of bridging the deficit in the general budget for the year 2024, which means that they will come into effect.

In turn, economic researcher Ziad Al-Hashemi warned in an interview with “Al-Sabah” that the 2024 budget is facing pressures in terms of limited liquidity, noting that this has caused the government to be unable to spend the capital or investment budget, and to direct liquidity exclusively towards the operating budget.

Al-Hashemi continued that this mechanism has disrupted the implementation of the government’s development and service programs and has significantly disrupted them, expecting the deficit in the 2025 budget to increase with the decline in oil prices, below $70 as a result of the decline in global demand for oil.

He expected that it would cause financial hardship and a weakening of the ability to spend if the decline in oil revenues continued for periods exceeding two quarters, indicating that the hardship might force the government to return to borrowing internally and externally, in the hope that oil prices would rise again in the near future. link

Mot: The Origin of America’s Favorite Nursery Rhyme: ((( Bet Ya Didn't Know This un!!!! ))) Rock a bye baby

The Origin of America’s Favorite Nursery Rhyme:

Davy Crockett's older sister, Effie Crockett was invited to help some mothers in the Muskogee Tribe. Once she arrived in camp, Effie laughed at what she saw. The Muskogee Tribe had a custom of cradling their pappooses among the swaying branches of birch trees. This protected their babies from ground insects, the sun, and wild animals.

After first finding it funny, she soon learned all the great reasons for this practice and marveled at the beauty of it.

Effie watched the swaying and soothing motion of the topmost branches of the trees. She loved how each baby enjoyed nature, how they listened to the songbirds, observed every ladybug, and smiled at the colors of a butterfly, every little breeze was felt and enjoyed by these young ones; each babe seemed perfectly content.

One of the Tribal mothers began to sing a song to the children in her native tongue. As the Muskogee mother sang, Miss Effie observed a small tear running down the mother’s cheek.

Lulu se pepe i le pito i luga o le laau,

A agi le matagi e luluina le moega pepe,

A gau le lala e paʻu ai le moega pepe,

Ma o le a sau i lalo pepe, moega pepe ma mea uma.

Effie translated the words and kept the tune. She shared it with everyone and it soon became a wildly popular nursery rhyme among the Colonies.

The English translation:

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top,

When the wind blows the cradle will rock,

When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,

And down will come baby, cradle and all.

Why did the Muskogee mother cry?

A “bough” is simply a tree branch, and its breaking was used by the Muskogee mothers as an analogy of their little baby growing up.

Their little baby would soon outgrow his cradle. With each gently rocking wind, time was passing. One day, little baby would no longer need the protection of his mother. One day, the “branch” would break because her little baby had become too heavy. The “cradle” would fall to the earth – the child, no longer a baby, would dust himself off and grow into a man.

The now famous lullaby was first printed in Mother Goose’s Melody.

The rest is history.

Here Are 7 Things You Should Leave Out Of Your Will In The US

Here Are 7 Things You Should Leave Out Of Your Will In The US if you really care about your loved ones

Maurie Backman  Sun, October 13, 2024  Moneywise

Estate planning is one of the most important things you might do in your lifetime. But it can also be a bit complicated and, let's face it, uncomfortable. That perhaps explains why only 32% of Americans have a will, according to a survey from Caring.com, while 1-in-4 of those without a will don’t plan on getting one.

1. Specific Dollar Amounts

It's natural to want to leave your loved ones as much money as possible. But rather than commit to specific dollar amounts, you may want to work with percentages instead.

Here Are 7 Things You Should Leave Out Of Your Will In The US if you really care about your loved ones

Maurie Backman  Sun, October 13, 2024  Moneywise

Estate planning is one of the most important things you might do in your lifetime. But it can also be a bit complicated and, let's face it, uncomfortable. That perhaps explains why only 32% of Americans have a will, according to a survey from Caring.com, while 1-in-4 of those without a will don’t plan on getting one.

1. Specific Dollar Amounts

It's natural to want to leave your loved ones as much money as possible. But rather than commit to specific dollar amounts, you may want to work with percentages instead.

The reason? It's hard to predict how much your estate will amount to upon your death. You might leave your eldest child $500,000 thinking there will still be plenty of money left over for your remaining heirs. But if your estate only ends up being worth $550,000, you're limiting the amount of money your remaining beneficiaries get.

A better approach would be to distribute your assets in portions. You may, for example, decide to leave your eldest child a larger percentage of your estate because they're the person who's cared for you in a hands-on manner through the years. But that way, you're also not leaving your remaining heirs in the lurch if the value of your estate ends up being smaller than expected.

2. Account Passwords

You may be inclined to use your will as a means of giving your heirs access to your various accounts, and so you might think it's smart to include your bank and brokerage account passwords in that document. But that's a mistake.

Once you pass away, your will may go through probate, which is the process of proving its validity, before it’s executed. And at that point, it becomes a matter of public record. You don't want that information getting into the wrong people's hands, so a better bet is to share a list of passwords with your loved ones in a separate, private document.

3. Funeral Instructions

You'd think your will would be the perfect place to describe your ideal funeral. But there's a problem with this approach.

Your loved ones may not receive a copy of your will until after your funeral. So a better bet is to map out your wishes separately, whether in a document or verbally.

RIPPLE NEWS: CAN THE SEC STOP XRP ETFS?

Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, announced on X that the company has filed a cross-appeal in its legal case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This action follows the SEC’s appeal last week to the U.S. Court of Appeals, which seeks to overturn parts of District Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling related to XRP.

Legal expert James Murphy aka MetaLawMan recently opened up about the status of the XRP Trust and its implications for the broader cryptocurrency market, especially concerning regulatory challenges posed by the SEC.

In an interview with Thinking Crypto, when asked if the SEC’s appeal might hinder these approvals, James expressed concern that the SEC could use the existing uncertainty as a reason to deny the XRP ETP (Exchange-Traded Product). He said that for an ETF to be approved, the asset must qualify as a commodity, which complicates the situation for XRP.

Uncertainty Surrounding Approvals
James believes that the SEC might feel pressured to deny these products, citing that there is still uncertainty in the market. He suggested that the SEC could drag out the process, possibly prompting further legal challenges similar to past scenarios with Bitcoin.

James pointed out that a change in SEC leadership could lead to a more favorable environment for crypto-related products. He referenced a recent hearing where the commissioners appeared open to Congress updating legislation, contrasting this with SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s evasive responses.

Public Sentiment Towards Gensler
James criticized Gensler’s performance during the hearing, expressing eagerness for a change in leadership. He said that candidates from the Trump camp could potentially replace Gensler, opening the door for more innovation in the crypto space.

Fair Notice and Regulatory Clarity
During the hearing, the concept of “fair notice” was stressed, explaining the need for clear rules in regulatory practices. James stressed that a transparent legal framework is essential for compliance, asserting that the current ambiguity undermines the rule of law.

US GOVERNMENT PAYS $950,000,000,000 IN INTEREST ON NATIONAL DEBT IN JUST ONE YEAR, SAYS CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE

The US government just spent nearly $1 trillion to service the interest on its rapidly growing national debt.

Data from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says the government ran an approximately $1.8 trillion budget deficit for the 2024 fiscal year, which ended on September 30th.

The government collected $4.918 trillion in revenue last fiscal year but spent a total of $6.752 trillion.

All in all, outlays for interest on public debt were the second-largest US government expense last fiscal year, just behind the estimated $1.448 trillion allocated to Social Security benefits.

News of the US government’s large budget deficit for the last fiscal year comes as the country’s national debt balloons to $35.693 trillion.

Adam Kobeissi, founder and editor-in-chief of The Kobeissi Letter says the nation’s public debt is significantly outpacing economic growth.

“US public debt has jumped $345 billion over [a three-day period], hitting another record of $35.7 trillion.

Since June 2023, federal debt has surged by a MASSIVE $4 trillion, or 14%. Over the same time period, US GDP is up just $1.5 trillion, or ~6%.

In other words, the national debt has outpaced the economic growth by 2.7 TIMES over the last 16 months. Outside of the pandemic crisis, US federal debt has never grown so rapidly.”

NATIONAL BANK OF BAHRAIN LAUNCHES BITCOIN-LINKED STRUCTURED PRODUCT

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) unveiled the Gulf’s first Bitcoin-linked structured product developed in partnership with crypto firm ARP Digital. The investment is only available to accredited investors. Structured products invariably include derivatives and are often customized for investors.

The Bitcoin-linked structured product will allow some returns from a crypto price rise, but the amount its capped. However, the product claims to offer 100% downside protection.

“We are proud to introduce this bespoke structured investment, which blends the appeal of digital asset exposure with the security of capital protection,” said Hisham AlKurdi, Group Chief Executive – Markets & Client Solutions at NBB. “This product underscores our focus on offering our wealth management clients innovative and secure avenues to diversify their portfolios.”

100% Bitcoin downside protection?
If the 100% downside protection sounds too good to be true, it’s probably not. A collar is a classic options strategy. That would involve holding the underlying Bitcoin, and buying a put option at the current price (quite expensive), which lets you sell if Bitcoin’s price falls.

Additionally, it involves selling a call option at the capped return price. The money earned from selling the call option can be used to offset part or all of the cost of the put option. However, we don’t know the precise structure of this particular product.

While NBB is listed on the local stock exchange, two government linked organizations own 55% – the sovereign wealth fund Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding and the Social Insurance Organization that manages Bahrain government pension funds. ARP Digital was founded by a Goldman Sachs veteran.

Is there will be no price discovery between the fiat dollar and a financial asset (stocks-bonds).

What I mean by the collapse of the dollar is you will go to the bank to make a “dollar” transaction and the bank will tell you we will no longer take your dollars.

Then what?

What I mean by the collapse of the dollar is you will go to the bank to make a “dollar” transaction and the bank will tell you we will no longer take your dollars.

Then what?

It is likely that BIG American banks will hold the BRICS unit as part of their foreign currency reserves.

You got the U.S. Treasury shadow bank that will see $100 trillion in foreign dollar reserves that is unwinding now.

These are dollar for oil reserves unwinding.

No one understands the profound changes coming on Oct 22nd with the new BRICS global monetary order.

For the sake of humanity itself, The world is ready and must leave the United States and the dollar.

With Turkey and Iran for sure getting admitted into BRICS.

About 70% of the worlds population will be in BRICS.

All the nay sayers have a stake in the dollar not collapsing.

Too bad for them.

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Finance: Non-oil budget revenues will reach 30 trillion dinars next year

The Parliamentary Finance Committee expected, on Sunday, that non-oil revenues in the 2025 budget would reach 30 trillion dinars, represented by electricity collection, taxes, and revenues from the Baghdad Municipality and all municipal departments. 

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The Parliamentary Finance Committee held a meeting today, in which it hosted the Minister of Finance, Taif Sami, the heads of the tax and customs authorities, and the general managers of the Ministry of Finance, to discuss the general budget law and oil and non-oil financial revenues."

He added, "Oil revenues are settled, but as for non-oil revenues, it has been emphasized that government departments should be activated, including electricity in the field of collection, the Baghdad Municipality, and other municipal departments, in addition to the services provided to tax committees, border crossing revenues, customs, and others that would increase non-oil revenues."

He explained that "the activation of non-oil revenues was mentioned in the government program but was not implemented. What is expected in 2025 is that oil revenues will be 120 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues will be 30 trillion dinars, which includes customs revenues, taxes, electricity collection, and services provided by the government." link
