US Treasury Adds $104 Billion to National Debt in One Day

US Treasury Adds $104,000,000,000 To National Debt in One Day As Total Outstanding Debt Shatters Record High at $35,951,000,000,000

Daily Hodl Staff   November 4, 2024

The US national debt just hit a new record high after the Treasury Department added $104 billion to its outstanding balance in a single day.

The Treasury’s Debt to the Penny database shows the government’s pile of debt is close to $36 trillion, clocking in at $35.951601173936 trillion.

The US shattered the $35 trillion barrier in late July.

The grim milestone comes as a study from the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget shows both presidential candidates will add trillions more to the national debt.

The CRFB says a Harris presidency could add $3.5 trillion to the debt over ten years, while a Trump presidency could add 7.75 trillion in the same time frame.

However, the agency warns its models have a wide range of possible spending outcomes.

“Our estimates come with a wide range of uncertainty, reflecting both different interpretations and estimates of the policies.

Under our low- and high-cost estimates, we estimate Vice President Harris’s plan could increase debt by between $300 billion and $8.30 trillion through 2035, while President Trump’s plan could increase debt by between $1.65 and $15.55 trillion.”

The agency says its estimates reflect the “expected fiscal impact” of the policies that the candidates have laid out on their campaign websites, official announcements, white papers and social media posts.

“The national debt currently stands at 99% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is projected to grow from 102% of GDP at the start of FY 2026 to 125% by the end of 2035 based on the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) current law baseline.

The debt will exceed its record as a share of the economy – 106% set in 1946 – in just three years. Debt would continue to grow faster than the economy under either candidates’ plans and in most scenarios would grow faster and higher than under current law.”

Mnt Goat  ...when you go to the bank to exchange the US Treasury is going to fund the initial exchange for the bank. It is all electronic...The US Treasury will own then own dinar. These banks will then turn a profit with the US Treasury for being the broker in the exchange. It will benefit them to collect as much of the 3 zero notes as possible...The US Treasury will keep a certain amount of the three zero notes for inter-banking and global trade with Iraq... Iraq has already guaranteed oil credits at so much a barrel...The US Treasury fully intends to also sell these oil credits at a profit margin to other countries needing the Iraq oil. I have asked my CBI contact multiple times on the fixed credit rate and I got varied amounts from $30 – 35 a barrel. So, it is not like Iraq has to shell out trillions back to the US to cover the cost of the funds for the exchanges...

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  These exchange centers, they are dealing in dinars right now.  What they're doing is taking in the old three zero notes that we citizens have been holding on to for years...and putting that into the electronic platform.  We have paper to show us what we have in the bank.  It's the new electronic system.   FRANK:   The reason for it is because those numbers at a flip of a switch will be recalculated with the new exchange rate and credited to the citizens of Iraq...Dinar mattresses...you know very well what this means...The fact that they found a way to bring them in is just fantastic news.  This just speeds it up.

Tishwash:  The slogan "Made in Iraq" .. This is what it needs to achieve "real impact"

Economic expert Safwan Qusay confirmed that the slogan "Made in Iraq" will not achieve a real impact unless the appropriate financial tools are provided to enhance local industrial production.

Qusay said, "Recovering the due funds will contribute to expanding the scope of the Industrial Bank's influence in supporting the national industrial machine," adding that "Iraq is in dire need of specialized loans to support various industries such as tourism, entertainment, and the fishing industry, as these areas generate revenues that contribute to strengthening capital." 

Qusay explained that “the government’s support for local industry is not a paragraph placed in the general budget, but rather it can be done through purchasing local products for federal ministries, with the ministries’ allocations being transferred to the Ministry of Industry.” 

He pointed out that "the Industrial Bank needs a larger capital than announced, noting that achieving this goal can be done by recovering part of the debts due on some industrial loans and supporting projects affiliated with the Ministry of Industry through investments from the private sector."link

The activities of the International Chamber of Commerce were launched in Baghdad on the sidelines of the International Arbitration Forum, with the aim of bringing the Iraqi economy closer to the world and achieving beneficial integration that changes the shape of the national economy and makes it occupy its true place among the world’s economies.

Chairman of the Parliamentary Investment Committee, Hassan Al-Khafaji, stressed that “the launch of the International Chamber of Commerce in Iraq contributes to discussing challenges at the local and international levels and works to stimulate international investments in the country in a way that enhances sustainable development trends.”

He added that “this step works to integrate Iraq with the world and its various markets with all their specializations,” and pointed out that “his committee supports all initiatives that advance the national economy and bring it closer to global economies.”

Global Economy

The representative of the President of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, President of the Najaf Chamber, Haider Al-Athari, stated that “the opening of the chamber came to activate integration between the public and private sectors, as the Ministries of Trade and Foreign Affairs played an important role in this achievement, in addition to the role of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and the private sector, which made a great effort in order for Iraq to take its real role in the global economic arena and be an important part of it.”

Business environment

The Director General of the Private Sector Development Department at the Ministry of Commerce, Malik Al-Durai’i, said: “The opening of the chamber represents an important step to enhance the business and investment environment in Iraq and came with the government’s support for the private sector, which will work to create global economic partnerships.”

He pointed out that “this step reflects the extent of Iraq’s commitment to openness to the global economy,” and pointed out that “the presence of international commercial arbitration in the country constitutes an important incentive for investments to enter the local labor market.”

Tishwash:  Parliamentary consensus to pass controversial laws soon - Urgent

 Member of the House of Representatives, Muhammad Al-Ziyadi, confirmed today, Tuesday (November 5, 2024), that the politically disputed laws will soon be passed during the next stage.

Al-Ziyadi said in an interview with Baghdad Today, "There is a parliamentary consensus on passing the controversial laws that were postponed for more than one session due to political differences, especially since those laws were postponed by some parties under the pretext of the absence of a parliament speaker who represents a major component of the Iraqi people."

He said, "The upcoming sessions will witness the passing of these laws, and there is a parliamentary consensus on this. There is also the possibility of extending the legislative session for one month in order to decide on these laws."

Al-Zaydi explained that "these laws require dialogues and consultations to put the final touches on them at the legal and political levels."

Last Thursday, the House of Representatives settled the issue of the position of the Speaker of the House, granting confidence to Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani after two rounds of voting.

According to observers, the Iraqi parliament, in its current session and the last three sessions, is facing accusations of repeated negligence in completing the voting on dozens of important laws that affect the lives of citizens.

Some of these laws relate to important economic issues, the distribution of wealth, and freedom of expression, by postponing these laws to later sessions, for reasons that can be summed up as disagreements between parties on the one hand, and the repeated absences of representatives on the other hand, in addition to the fact that some of these laws do not conform to the interests of different political parties and factions.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

COINBASE’S L2 BASE WELCOMES FRANKLIN TEMPLETON’S TOKENIZED FUND

Coinbase’s Ethereum scaling solution has onboarded its first large wealth manager, Franklin Templeton, the $1.5 trillion Wall Street firm.

Franklin Templeton announced that users can trade shares of its OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund, FOBXX, on the layer-2 network Base.

FOBXX, with $410 million in assets, has already launched on five other blockchains, including Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Aptos, and Stellar, making Base the sixth blockchain to support Franklin Templeton’s tokenized Treasury fund.

The announcement represents another crossover between traditional and decentralized finance markets. Fellow asset manager BlackRock recently launched its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, also known as BUIDL, on Ethereum’s mainnet partnered with ETH-native protocols like Ethena Labs.

While BlackRock launched on a layer-1 network and maintains the largest on-chain money market, Franklin Templeton has focused on layer-2 networks for its FOBXX fund.

L2’s run off layer-1 blockchains but provide cheaper and quicker transactions. As such, they offer optimized environments for on-chain money markets and tokenized treasuries.

Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX was the first money market fund to employ decentralized technology for trading, and the firm picked L2 Arbitrum as its first home.

Launching on Coinbase’s layer-2 may further boost Base’s growth. Since going live in 2022, the network has attracted over $2.6 billion in user deposits and was the fifth-largest decentralized finance blockchain at the time of writing, according to DeFiLlama.

Base, launched by the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange, also ranks as Ethereum’s top scaling solution based on active addresses, total value locked, and 24-hour volume.

HKEX TO USE SMART CONTRACTS, DLT TO AUTOMATE ETP ISSUANCE, REDEMPTION

Today the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) announced plans to automate the creation and redemption of some exchange traded products (ETPs) in 2025. The new web based platform will use distributed ledger technology and smart contracts and is subject to regulatory approval.

The aim is to boost efficiency and encourage more secondary market activity.

“Speed and efficiency are critical in an increasingly dynamic market environment,” said Jean-Francois Mesnard-Sense. “HKEX is pleased to introduce this new digital enhancement.

It will not only streamline operations for our market participants, but also drive more liquidity in the product ecosystem, supporting the vibrancy of our ETP marketplace and strengthening Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre.”

While HKEX did not use the term real time, in theory an automated platform could support this. Given stock exchanges are not retail facing, it’s usually market makers that would trigger the creation and redemption process.

HKEX didn’t disclose the technology used, and hasn’t responded to our query by publication time. However, HKEX’s previous DLT activity for its HKEX Synapse settlement platform launched in 2023 uses Digital Asset’s DAML and Canton.

ETPs in Hong Kong are growing at a rate of 29 percent a year since 2020. Average daily turnover this year has been HK$17.9 billion (US$2.3 billion).

In Europe Deutsche Börse, which also uses DAML technology, developed its D7 issuance platform. It also automates workflow and has proven popular for structured products with tens of thousands of issuances per month.

IMF: Foreign Investment Outperforms Sovereign Funds In Generating Growth In Gulf

 Money and business   Economy News - Follow-up  A study under preparation by the International Monetary Fund has found that foreign direct investment in Gulf countries has a greater impact on non-oil GDP growth than domestic investments by their sovereign wealth funds.

The study, which has not yet been published, examined private equity investments and mergers and acquisitions linked to sovereign funds in the Gulf countries, excluding the financial sector from the analysis.

The study aims to provide a model through which the amount of capital required to achieve a certain level of growth in the non-oil sectors and GDP can be estimated. According to statements made to Asharq by researchers Wenning Chen and Evgenia Koronaka, increasing foreign investment by 1% of GDP leads to an increase of more than 1% in non-hydrocarbon GDP growth over a five-year period. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=49479

MP: Oil Derivatives Smuggling Has Decreased By 80% In Iraq

Information/Baghdad…   Member of the Parliamentary Security Committee, MP Yasser Iskandar, acknowledged on Monday that the smuggling of oil derivatives has decreased by 80% in Iraq.

Iskandar said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, "The security services are adopting a comprehensive strategy in the file of ending the smuggling of oil derivatives in the country through 3 main axes, the most prominent of which is controlling the movements of tankers on the land roads between the governorates, ending the file of the breeze roads, and tightening procedures at the checkpoints."

He added, "The smuggling of oil derivatives in Iraq has decreased by 80%, which is an important positive indicator, especially with the dismantling of a series of networks and the arrest of dozens with the tankers used in smuggling between the provinces."

He pointed out that "the smuggling process has become more difficult in light of the ongoing security pressure and coordination between the governorates, which has yielded positive results in the past months."

It is noteworthy that the smuggling of oil reservoirs is one of the phenomena that emerged in recent years and caused crises in several governorates. LINK

l-Sistani’s “Seven Commandments” Occupy Iraqi Politics.. A Reading Of The Position Of The Authority

Posted on 2024-11-04 by sotaliraq  The statement of the highest Shiite authority in Iraq, Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, which was issued today after his meeting with Mohammed al-Hassan, the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and head of its mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and the accompanying delegation, sparked various political analyses, including “returning Iraq to the square of 2004 and the constitutional revolution that he supported,” “the failure of the political experiment in Iraq,” and his warning to the government of Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, and “its inability to manage the country and the spread of weapons and chaos in the administration of the state,” in addition to warning of the possibility of the region heading towards a “major crisis.”

The head of the Center for Political Thought, Dr. Ihsan Al-Shammari, says, “Al-Sistani’s meeting with the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and his talk about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as his warning to the Sudanese government and its inability to manage the country, the spread of weapons and the chaos of state administration, this shows that there is deep concern that will affect the region, so he is sending messages in several directions.”

Al-Shammari explained during his speech, “Among those messages are to the international community on the necessity of maintaining stability and taking into account the humanitarian aspect, and a message to the national elites who were excluded by the Coordination Framework and the Sudanese that what will happen should be taken into account, and then the national forces must work to address the upcoming crisis in the region in a way that spares Iraq its repercussions.”

For his part, political analyst Abbas Ghadir says, “It is well known that His Eminence Sayyid al-Sistani has an influence on the Iraqi and regional situation in general, and all the meetings that everyone has with al-Sistani have an impact on the Iraqi political and social situation, and al-Sistani’s meeting today with the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations launched a set of messages and recommendations to the Iraqi interior and exterior.”

Ghadir explains, “Al-Sistani asked the elites to benefit from past experiences and invest in them and find solutions in building the state and confining weapons. He also spoke about what is happening in the region and the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.”

He points out that “what was issued in this statement affected the political situation, and therefore the Coordination Framework expressed in its statement its commitment to Sistani’s directives and everything he issued, and they will be taken seriously for implementation.”

In turn, political analyst Ahmed Al-Yasiri believes that “the statement of the authority related to the new arrival of the United Nations after Plasschaert is the confirmation of the UN mission of Al-Sistani’s role that there is an important spiritual centrality that affects the joints of life in Iraq, whether on the political or social level, which is the leadership of Mr. Al-Sistani.”

Al-Yasiri added during his speech, “Also, Mr. Sistani’s statement reinforces the idea of ​​spiritual centrality, because the events in the Middle East and the humanitarian stances launched by the authority based on its spiritual centrality have been attempted to be exploited, especially by the factions, to link them to the authority’s fatwa in 2014, i.e. militarizing the spiritual path of the authority.”

He explains that “the Iraqi factions exploited the speeches of the general authority and its spiritual centrality and attempted to militarize its discourse and invest it in its activities and security and political projects. Therefore, the authority, in its statement, lifted the cover from everyone who carries weapons and tries to find an address for this burden outside the scope of the state.”

He points out that “the authority in its statement separated its value and spiritual discourse from political investments by drawing a general vision of solutions in Iraq, which is reflected in the spiritual leadership represented by the authority supporting the centrality of the state. It is a central discourse and can be called the statement of the central authority that supports the centrality of the Iraqi state, the centrality of the spiritual authority, and also the centrality of international support.”

He explains, “Because Mr. Sistani’s statement indicated the failure of the international umbrella to contain the humanitarian situation, and that the statements put forward by the authority in the context of humanitarian aid or making room for supporting the displaced is a humanitarian path that has nothing to do with politics. Sistani also rejected foreign interventions in their general framework, or that the path of Iraqi national security should turn into a path linked to the national security of other countries.”

“This is an implicit response to some reports that the religious authority is on the list of targets, and the UN representative confirmed this meaning in his speech after leaving the meeting when he said (We condemn any process of mentioning or mentioning the name of the authority in the political or security conflicts occurring in the region) in reference to the emphasis that Sistani’s presence in Iraq is not political,” says Al-Yasiri.

He confirms that “Sistani has not received any Iraqi politician since 2015, and he is still insisting on this position, so today Sistani has returned Iraq to the square of 2004 and the constitutional revolution that he supported, and he confirmed the failure of the political experiment in Iraq and did not refer to the failure of democracy, but rather the political actors were not up to the level of responsibility, and this is what the authority has also indicated on previous occasions, but today was a confirmation of this meaning.”

The highest Shiite authority in Iraq, Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, identified seven factors for “the stability of the country,” stressing that the Iraqis have a “long path” ahead of them to achieve this.

This came according to a statement issued by his office in Najaf, after he received this morning Mohammed Al-Hassan, the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and head of its mission in Iraq (UNAMI) and the accompanying delegation.

The statement explained that Al-Hassan gave Al-Sistani a brief explanation of the tasks of the international mission and the role it aims to play in the coming period.

In return, the reference Sistani welcomed the presence of the United Nations in Iraq and wished its mission success in carrying out its tasks.

Al-Sistani pointed to the major challenges facing Iraq at the present time and what its people are suffering on more than one level.

“Iraqis, especially the conscious elites, should learn from the experiences they have gone through and do their utmost to overcome their failures and work hard to achieve a better future for their country in which everyone enjoys security, stability, progress and prosperity,” said the Grand Ayatollah Sistani, stressing that “this cannot be achieved without preparing scientific and practical plans to manage the country based on the principle of competence and integrity in assuming positions of responsibility, preventing foreign interference in all its forms, enforcing the rule of law, restricting arms to the state, and combating corruption at all levels.”

Al-Sistani added: “But it seems that the Iraqis have a long way to go before they achieve this, may God help them.”

Regarding the volatile situation in the region, the reference expressed his “deep sorrow over the ongoing tragedy in Lebanon and Gaza and his deep regret over the inability of the international community and its institutions to impose effective solutions to stop it or at the very least to neutralize civilians from the tragedies of the fierce aggression practiced by the Israeli entity.”  LINK

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:  Some new financial guru here saying the new hybrid monetary plan will bring more alliance on the dinar instead of the dollar restrictions.  Saying it will make the dinar a base currency and a base currency is the main currency in a group of currencies that are traded in the international Forex...He's saying they are going on Forex soon.  FRANK:  When they talk to you about a base currency, they are trying to tell you your nation will become a financial central hub with many currencies coming in from around the world that will play an important part in the international float of the Iraqi dinar in order to reach the real effective exchange rate.  Forex is but one example of how they will do this.  

Militia Man    They're not using the dinar today yet that we know of on the Forex.  But what they're saying is to my understanding is as of the 15th to 18th of October, they're getting ready to use domestic currency to support the exchange rate peg, domestic liquidity management.  I hope you guys understand that...because this is pretty powerful stuff coming from the CBI.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

SINGAPORE ADVANCES ASSET TOKENIZATION WITH NEW MAS FRAMEWORKS

The Monetary Authority of Singapore is pulling together the projects and participants needed for the next step in its asset tokenization trials.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has announced a multipronged effort to advance the commercialization of asset tokenization. To achieve its goals, the MAS has drawn from various projects and produced new frameworks to provide guidance.

Scaling up successful tokenization tests
Speaking at the first MAS Layer One Summit, deputy managing director Leong Sing Chiong reviewed the successes of the large financial institutions participating in Project Guardian in demonstrating the potential for tokenization in foreign exchange and funds. More than 40 institutions have carried out more than 15 trials across seven jurisdictions using six currencies.

The central banker also identified the limitations of those trials:

“No one has really succeeded in achieving scale.  Many promising use cases have not yet gained industry wide traction.  Further, there is a need for supporting infrastructure to enable good use cases to scale beyond individual networks.”

To deploy tokenized assets at scale, liquidity, infrastructure, standardized frameworks and common settlement assets are needed, he said. The MAS is addressing each of those issues.

A masterplan for commercialization
Launched in 2022, Project Guardian already facilitates deepening liquidity through capital raising, secondary trading and asset servicing and settlement, the MAS said in a statement.

To address infrastructure needs, the MAS’s Global Layer One, launched in 2023 and developed by BNY, Citi, JPMorgan, MUFG and Societe Generale-FORGE, will expand its scope in the coming year. Euroclear and HSBC will join the initiative as it develops principles for use and its ecosystem.

The Project Guardian industry group created two frameworks for the implementation of tokenization that were also published on Nov. 4. 

The Guardian Fixed Income Framework integrates international organizations’ standards and principles into a guide to implementing tokenization in debt capital markets.

The Guardian Funds Framework recommends best practices for fund tokenization. This includes the Guardian Composable Token Taxonomy.

Finally, the SGD Testnet will be made available to facilitate access to mutually agreeable tokenized money for payments and securities settlements. Participants in Project Guardian and Project Orchid will participate using Singapore dollar wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Project Orchid developed use cases for retail CBDC and introduced the concept of purpose-bound money — a form of programmability — which will be implemented on the testnet.

Commercialization is the logical next step when a project achieves its goals. mBridge announced its launch as a minimum viable product in October 2023.

THE DAO DILEMMA: STRIVING FOR DECENTRALIZATION

The idea of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is kind of incredible, when you really think about it.

What is a DAO?

A DAO is like a private company that is perfectly okay with hundreds of token (equity) holders debating publicly on an open forum about product and organizational strategy.

A private company where the core security underlying the company’s product (smart contracts) are fully viewable, where all the data you need to write a scathing data analysis on a company you don’t like is readily available.

In the non-Web3 world, markets would kill to have any clue as to what their competitors are thinking of launching, let alone detailed forum discussions of how that conversation is taking shape.

Having all that information out in the open would invite endless media and regulatory scrutiny, taking precious time away from actually building to fend off annoying lines of inquiry.

These are handicaps that no startup wants. And yet in Web3, $21.4 billion of value rests on these norms. In Web3, it’s par for the course.

Of course, most DAOs are actually only partially decentralized.

When Uniswap announced its plans around Unichain last month, Stanford Blockchain Club’s head of governance Billy Gao said the announcement left most DAO delegates “in the dark,” and excluded them via their lack of “a voice at any stage of the process — whether through forums, private discussions or any other means.”

It’s not just Uniswap either. Optimism DAO’s governance contracts are not controlled by its tokenholders, so voting with OP largely serves as an informal signal to the Optimism Foundation (for now).

And it’s widely known that most DAO treasuries or smart contracts are still controlled by a few trusted stakeholders via a multisig wallet.

So when we tout DAOs as decentralized autonomous organizations, in truth, there are many shades of gray within that spectrum of decentralization. The devil’s in the details.

When I asked Tally founder and CEO Dennison Bertram about it, he begrudgingly agreed that DAOs have a ways to go regarding decentralization, but also that partial transparency is still better than complete opaqueness, which would be “much more dangerous.”

Bertram pointed to how Twitter/X under Elon Musk could unilaterally turn off its API, or how Facebook choked off the wildly popular FarmVille game by Zynga from its platform.

Yet, despite the many shortcomings around DAOs, the real silver lining — I think — is the industry’s overarching commitment to the values of decentralization, which to me seems wildly underrated.

DAOs can hand-wave and virtue signal about decentralizing all they like, but the fact that they operate in an industry where “decentralization” is still held up as a beloved virtue is what allows the crypto industry to call out and question the centralization vectors that DAOs are still riddled with.

That informal institution has slowly been eroded and will only continue to do so as crypto continues to go “mainstream.” Cherish it while it still lasts.

5 Effective Ways To Stop Impulse-Buying And Save Money

5 Effective Ways To Stop Impulse-Buying And Save Money

Learn how to shop more intentionally (without feeling deprived)

Shira Gill | Organizing Expert

These tips will help you slow your roll when it comes to impulse buying, live more sustainably, and save a boatload of money. File that under #winwin.

Tip One: Practice Using What You Own

Over the past few months I’ve been shocked at how often I feel the urge to buy something that I already own a perfectly good version of, including, but not limited to: lip balm, cozy sweaters, and pretty ceramic mugs.

I’ve been getting in the practice of noting the desire for the item in question, and then looking in my own home to see if I own something that could serve the exact same purpose.

This simple habit shift has prevented me from buying more than a handful of items I truly had no need for. Money saved, lessons learned.

Tip Two: Leverage The Power Of The Pause

In a culture that promotes instant gratification, even a brief pause can be a powerful tool in the fight against impulse buying.

Try writing down or snapping a photo of items you want before pulling the trigger.

I’ve found that when I do this I typically quickly forget about whatever thing I thought I desperately needed in the moment. Poof, it’s gone.

Member: Good evening Mark and Mods …hope all is well

Member: Am I the only one praying this is the last time we see Mark without the golden (RV Happened) shirt?!

Member: No matter who wins in the election tomorrow…do you still think they will release the RV?

MZ: None of my sources think that this is going to go wrong. They will be waiting for the announcement then RV things are all going to rip forward.

MZ: So much does seem to be waiting on the outcome of this election. But I continue to hear positive things.

 Member: The whole dadgum world is holding their breath right now, you can feel it...

Member: I always thought we wouldn’t go until after the election….so glad its almost over.

MZ: I would like to remind you that Iraq is moving forward with or without this election. They have paved the road and done their due diligence. I very much expect the announcement of Iraq and the WTO full membership ascension no later than sometime in December. We should have articles tomorrow to confirm that.

Member: I believe we will go before the public announcement. Iraq will force RV if they don't flip the switch

Frank 26 basically said it will be done no later than the 9th

MZ: “The Arathmetic Arab dinar is a Arab tool for Arab economic integration”  Arab countries are pooling currencies to pa for things within the Arab nations. It appears they are working on a basket of currencies to standardize trade. This is part of a revaluation of those currencies and Iraq is part of that. .

MZ: On the bond side – its very quiet but, Here’s a fun article from Gold Telegraph with Judy Shelton. She is largely expected to be one of the top Treasury of Fed nominations. She said she wants the united States to be a leader if there is any gold backing of a currency. She is author of the book “Good as gold” and an advocate for sound money. This was posted yesterday…

MZ: “ Taxpayers cannot pay for the misconduct of banks- Swiss finance minister”  She is telling them the people of Switzerland will not be bailing anybody out.  

Member: I got an email from my credit union today saying they will be back open tomorrow but were “short staffed” and had to close today. Hmmmmm

Member: So we should expect our world to turn completely upside down tomorrow one way or another. I’m praying God rocks everyone’s world and rains His blessings down!

Member: I'm just curious what will we be talking about on Wednesday?

Member: Good night everyone, see yall on the other side

Member: Stay safe Markz and everyone else….Tomorrow could be a very hectic day
