RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 30 Jan. 2025

Compiled Thurs. 30 Jan. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

What We Think We Know as of Thurs. 30 Jan. 2025: 

Trump is ready to tear down the Federal Reserve and IRS and replace them with a fair, simple system: A 14% flat tax on non-essential goods—no taxes on food, medicine, or housing. A gold-backed currency that ends the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold.

If the tariffs work out no income tax, no IRS, Nesara/Gesara is here. …Julian Assange

Wed. 29 Jan. 2025 TRUMP ANNOUNCES: NO INCOME TAX, NO IRS! NESARA GESARA IS HERE! …Julian Assange on Telegram

KABOOM! It’s January 26, 2025, and President Donald J. Trump just dropped the biggest bombshell in American history! Standing before a roaring crowd, he declared:

“How about no tax? We could do that. If the tariffs work out, a thing like that could happen!”

This is more than a promise—it’s the beginning of the NESARA GESARA era, a golden age where financial slavery ends, and freedom reigns!

GOODBYE INCOME TAX, HELLO FREEDOM! For over a century, the IRS has drained the lifeblood of the American people. Trump’s vision? No more income tax. No more property tax. NO IRS. This isn’t just talk. Trump’s plan is rooted in history—America thrived without income taxes before 1913. What changed? The Federal Reserve and the IRS were created, enslaving Americans under a corrupt system.

Now, Trump is ready to tear it all down and replace it with a fair, simple system: A 14% flat tax on non-essential goods—no taxes on food, medicine, or housing. A gold-backed currency that ends the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold.

NESARA GESARA: THE PEOPLE’S RESET: This isn’t just an idea; it’s a revolution! Under NESARA GESARA: Debt erased—mortgages, loans, and credit card debt wiped out! IRS abolished—no audits, no harassment. Financial privacy restored—Big Brother is out of your wallet.

TARIFFS:: How will this work? Trump’s strategy is simple: tariffs on foreign imports. By taxing global elites and foreign competitors, he protects American workers while funding the government without stealing from your paycheck.

THIS IS IT—THE GOLDEN AGE HAS ARRIVED!: Trump isn’t just changing policy; he’s changing lives. The NESARA GESARA framework ensures: True ownership—no property taxes. Unhackable elections with the new QFS voting system. Global prosperity through humanitarian projects.

IT’S TIME TO RISE! The Storm is here, and Trump is leading the charge. The old system is crumbling. Are you ready to embrace the future? Freedom is calling.

Mnt Goat  Article:  “IRAQ BOOSTS FINANCIAL STABILITY WITH HUGE DOLLAR AND GOLD RESERVES IN US, EUROPE”.   ...Boy, oh boy they are teasing us dinar investors once again. They are flaunting their wealth once again but the IQD is still at 1/6 of a penny and NOT traded on FOREX?  Meanwhile Iraq has 43% more oil reserves than Kuwait...and just founded two more major wells besides....Kuwait is at 1 KWD = 3.25 USD on FOREX...If we pay attention we can see the writing is on the wall and their economists see it now too.

Walkingstick   President Trump put the world on notice that the American dollar will be the reserve currency of the world with or without you.  Trump protects the United States dollar and the IQD.  Our military forces have poured into Iraq from one area to refortify what we have.  Why?  To protect the reforms, to protect the currency.  Trump was saying I'll take your oil but I'm going to drill baby, therefore I'll take a new exchange rate for the IQD that I have in my reserves and deal, deal, deal or no deal...

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

Member: Good morning, everyone. I grieve for family members who lost loved ones on either the American Airlines aircraft or the military helicopter. Horrible accident.

Member:  Our thoughts, and prayers go out to the people, and the Families of everyone involved in that tragic, tragic Accident...

Member: Can't we ever just go a week or two without some heartbreaking news???

MZ: A terrible tragedy……many details will be coming out today. Lots of conspiracy theories….we will be hearing more throughout the day.

Member: BREAKING: President Trump will hold a press briefing in the D.C. aviation disaster at 11 am EST.

Member: Some are saying nothing until Chinese new year ends and HSBC is open on Monday next week

Member: Another Intel person says IQD rate being 4.75 and contract rate at 5.19. And possible announcement on Saturday.

​​Member: Majeed is indicating Iraq Forex this Weekend!

Member: That would be amazing.

MZ: I am hearing they have sped things up massively in the last 10 days.

Member: With Kuwait having the highest currency in the world, it makes no sense for Iraq to revalue at a rate too much higher than Kuwait.

Member: Mark why hasn't 4b got notifications for the rv? what are your thoughts on when it would happen?

MZ: I have zero bond updates today. This may have been one of the longest stretches I have seen in weeks with nothing on that front. Same with PP’s CMKX ect…..contacts are not sharing information. They have really tightened up the lips. Zipped the lips

Member: Maybe that is good news then?

MZ: We are hearing in Iraq some kind of agreement was reached with Sudani and crew and they are expecting fireworks on Friday –or completion in the voting……That is what I was told this morning from a contact in Iraq. We will see how this plays out.

MZ: “ The most prominent of which is civil aviation: Parliamentary transport plans to put three important laws to a vote.”  I think this is an important one. They havn’t been allowed to fly the Iraqi flag on their planes ect…..since 2002. Guess what….they are going international again and are allowed to proudly fly their colors. We are seeing signs Iraq is now fully international again.  Big news.

MZ: “Iraq oil settles at $78 a barrel for the second executive day”  Things now appear less tumultuous in the energy markets .

MZ: We see pressure on Iraq from the US treasury and there are representatives from all over the world for some reason…..right now in Iraq. This tells us of International business –if nothing else.

MZ: Iraq has to be international, secure and safe, and stable oil prices preferably at $70 or more.

MZ: “ Kirkuk signs the first investment contract to establish an oil refinery in the province” Iraq wants to become fully energy independent. They pump their own oil, refine it and sell it. In the past they just produced it and it was sent elsewhere around the world to be treated and refined. With their own refinery their oil will become highly profitable with refined gas, lubricants ect…..and make exponentially more money than they are now.

MZ: “2 economists say Iraq’s foreign reserves are reassuring compared to previous years”  Iraq has large cash reserves that are greater than 100% of the volume of the issued currency. They have more assets, more money backing up the dinar then they have in circulation. So Iraq has over 100% backing for their currency…..This is important as most countries only have 20% or so to back their currencies.

MZ: “3 scenarios for Iraq under Trump including “guardians of the region” The most likely one is Trump working with international parties and strengthening  Iraq to be guardians of the region.

Member: The london metals exchange is in a lot of trouble because their physical gold is Depleted bigly.

Member: Mark what's your opinion on which currencies are in the basket with the dinar?

Member: A list from awhile ago…..may still be accurate. 1. US 2. UK 3. Kuwait 4. Canada 5. Mexico 6. Russia 7. China 8. Venezuela 9. Iranian Rial 10. IRAQ 11. Indonesia Rupiah 12. Malaysia 13. Vietnamese 14. Brazil 15. Saudi Arabia 16. Qatar 17. United Arab Emirates 18. Turkey 19. Afghanistan possibly20. India 21. Libya 22. Japan23. Zimbabwe

Member: Could Iraq’s RV (revaluation)  be in the double digits.

MZ: I could be if you look at all the numbers I have shared with you and listen to Dr. Shabibi years ago who said Iraq could support a $16 rate……and back then there was far more dinar in circulation then there is now…..So it could be. I will just continue to think “lower” so I am not disappointed.

Member: plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Member: Thank  you Mark for all you do thanks to your crew

Member: Everyone have a safe and hopeful day…..The best is yet to come.

Member: Never give up…..its coming

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Thursday AM 1-30-25

Iraq Is Under The Danger Of Sanctions: The Smuggling Of The Dollar Threatens The National Economy
 
Jan 26, 2025 Last update: Jan 26, 2025  Independent/- With the approaching end of 2024, economic reports showed an unprecedented rise in smuggling the dollar from Iraq, which raised great concern in international economic and financial circles.
 
The flow of hard currency is accelerated outside the country, with increasing complaints from the involvement of many governmental and private banks in these smuggling operations, 
which threatens to impose economic sanctions on Iraq by international financial institutions.

The escalation of the phenomenon of smuggling of the dollar out of Iraq has led to the pushing of economists and international observers to talk about serious consequences for the Iraqi economy.

Where reports indicate that Iraqi banks, whether governmental or private, played a prominent role in smuggling the dollar abroad through informal channels.
 
This smuggling is not limited to the deterioration of the local economy, but rather threatens dangerous consequences that may lead to financial sanctions by the major countries, especially the United States of America, especially in light of the increasing suspicions of money laundering and the support of suspicious activities.
 
The dollar sale rate witnessed a noticeable increase over the past year, to exceed 81 billion dollars, which is an unprecedented number in the history of Iraq.
 
Despite the Iraqi government's attempts to take measures to reduce this phenomenon, the financial conditions do not seem to be under control.
 
On the other hand, the Central Bank of Iraq justifies this increase in selling the dollar as to cover the needs of Iraq from goods and services,
 
but there are warnings that this is a cover for wide smuggling operations aimed at financing countries subject to international sanctions such as Iran and Syria.
 
Fears of US sanctions
 
Under the pressure of international financial institutions, especially the United States, the
 
Central Bank of Iraq
 
     acknowledged the existence of a dollar smuggling crisis and
     announced the suspension of work on the electronic platform that banks were adopting to sell the dollar.

But is this step enough to prevent illegal practices?
 
Experts believe that this decision may be just a formal attempt to dispel international concerns,
especially since
 
many obstacles still hinder the effectiveness of the declared procedures.
 
Economist Dr. Nabil Al -Marsoumi says in press statements that
 
what is happening now is to transfer sales and purchases through correspondence (intermediate) banks, which are banks subject to less control, which facilitates money smuggling and money laundering operations.
 
This transformation of the sale mechanism may increase the complexity of monitoring and increase international anxiety over illegal purposes of these financial transfers.
 
Political complicity and corruption
 
There are also analyzes that indicate that political corruption and collusion between some parties in the Iraqi government and its associated banks may have a major role in this crisis.
 
While the government has pledged to take deterrent measures, the actual implementation on the ground seems to be shy.
 
There are political and financial interests for some parties that run commercial banks, and benefit from these informal networks to smuggle the dollar.
 
In statements to him, Iraqi MP Mustafa Sanad stressed that
 
a large part of this smuggled money goes to Iran,
 
which opens a wide door to talk about Iranian domination of the Iraqi economy and its negative effects on the stability of the country.
 
These facts reflect the size of the challenges facing Iraq in its attempts to combat the smuggling of the dollar and achieve real economic stability.
 

Insufficient procedures
 
Despite the efforts made by the government of Iraq, whether through the Central Bank or the Ministry of Finance, the gap between the official exchange rate of the dollar and the black market price is still large.
 
This gap reflects the weak measures taken to combat currency smuggling, and enhances the chances of speculators in the currency market.
 
In highly cruel statements, some experts indicated that the government does not have the true political will to confront this crisis seriously, as the influential forces on the ground, including the major political parties, benefit from the continuation of this corrupt system.
 
Therefore, the process of solving this crisis remains very complicated and needs radical interventions that start from reforming the Iraqi financial system completely.
 
Summary
 
What Iraq is facing today from the crisis of smuggling the dollar is not just a passing economic problem,
 
but rather an alarm bell that may afflict the Iraqi economy and expose it to international financial sanctions.
 
Despite the government's pledges to achieve reforms, the current situation reflects the lack of seriousness in addressing the true roots of the crisis.
 
If things continue this way, Iraq may witness an escalation in international economic pressures,
which will increase the suffering of the Iraqi people and push the country to more financial isolation on the international scene.    https://mustaqila.com/العراق-تحت-خطر-العقوبات-تهريب-الدولار/

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 1-30-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

PAYPAL’S PYUSD STABLECOIN JOINS CARDANO, ENHANCING BLOCKCHAIN INTEROPERABILITY

PYUSD’s integration into Cardano enhances DeFi liquidity, providing users with new stablecoin options and increasing cross-chain transaction potential.

▪️PYUSD, launched by PayPal, is now available on Cardano via a bridge by Wanchain, expanding cross-chain options.

▪️The stablecoin brings new lending opportunities to Cardano, enabling platforms to offer yield-earning products.

▪️PYUSD’s presence on Cardano boosts liquidity, attracting more participants and enhancing the network's appeal.

Cardano is expanding with the integration of PayPal USD (PYUSD) in its system. PYUSD, a stablecoin that was first available on Solana and Ethereum, is now accessible on Cardano through a bridge created by Wanchain. This provides Cardano blockchain users with new ways to trade, lend, and manage liquidity.

The introduction of PYUSD opens up new opportunities for lending protocols on Cardano. Platforms may adopt the stablecoin to offer yield-earning options, further expanding the lending ecosystem. For traders, having another stablecoin for liquidity and positions adds flexibility and efficiency. PayPal users and blockchain participants with PYUSD can now bridge their assets to Cardano, helping attract more users and making the ecosystem more appealing.

Wanchain’s CEO, Temujin Louie, stated that the integration will provide users with additional options and more autonomy when moving assets between blockchains. With nearly $447 million in Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem, this collaboration will promote stronger connections between networks, fostering new developments and broader blockchain adoption. It will contribute to improving the interaction between diverse systems.

Broader Implications for US Cryptocurrency and Cross-Border Payments

Aside from its impact on Cardano, PYUSD’s integration could also have broader implications for the cryptocurrency market in the United States. Platforms that support PYUSD may gain a competitive edge as users increasingly favor networks offering diverse stablecoin services. This trend could reshape US digital currency platforms, encouraging greater adoption of blockchain-based payment solutions.

The integration also demonstrates the potential of stablecoins like PYUSD to streamline cross-border payments. By significantly reducing transaction times and fees compared to traditional banking systems, stablecoins could set the stage for wider adoption of similar frameworks across other networks.

However, challenges remain. The need for seamless operation and adherence to regulatory frameworks, including features like reversing transactions or locking accounts, is critical. Cross-chain bridges also pose technical challenges, such as security risks, complicated transactions, and ensuring secure and efficient performance. Addressing these issues will require constant attention and strong security measures.

PYUSD’s Market Performance and Cardano’s Expanding Stablecoin Ecosystem

The total supply of PYUSD is currently $484 million, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The stablecoin was launched in August 2023. In September, PayPal began allowing US businesses to directly buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies through their accounts. In October, OKX wallet revealed that it now supports the token in its spot market.

PYUSD is an addition to the growing list of stablecoins in the Cardano ecosystem, including DJED, iUSD, MyUSD, USDM, USDC, and USDT, among others. The price of Cardano’s native token, ADA, has increased by more than 7% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.9542.

The integration of PYUSD into Cardano is a major milestone. It strengthens the foundation for blockchain interoperability, fosters growth in DeFi, and enhances the user experience for both Cardano participants and PYUSD holders.

CRYPTO FOE AND FORMER SEC CHAIR GARY GENSLER RETURNS TO MIT

▪️Gensler will focus on AI, financial technology, and finance.

▪️The announcement comes one week after he stepped down as SEC chair.

▪️Gensler is touted to be one of crypto’s staunchest adversaries in Washington D.C.

One of crypto’s top adversaries is returning to academia.

Former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler will return to MIT after a controversial four-year stint at the helm of the regulator.

His teaching and research will focus on artificial intelligence, finance, financial technology, and public policy, according to a press release from the prestigious university.

“I’m thrilled to once again collaborate with MIT’s distinguished team of scholars creating a better future for all through artificial intelligence, finance, and technology,” said Gensler in a statement.

The news comes one week after he left the markets watchdog the same day that Donald Trump was inaugurated. Before stepping down, he had become crypto’s l’ennemi commun after spearheading the agency’s crackdown on the industry.

At MIT, Gensler will serve as co-director of the FinTechAI initiative, exploring the intersection of AI and finance.

His new focus on AI comes at a crucial time for the US tech industry. Earlier this week, the market went into freefall after a Chinese artificial intelligence startup dubbed DeepSeek surfaced. The startup brandished an AI assistant that operates at a discount to US-based AI leader OpenAI and its ChatGPT product.

The slump — which wiped out more than $1 trillion from the broader stock market — was also exacerbated by derisking from investors in anticipation of Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting by the Federal Reserve.

Gensler was co-director of MIT’s FinTech@CSAIL, and senior advisor to the MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative immediately before he joined the SEC.

Anti-crypto stance

Under Gensler, the SEC pursued a number of lawsuits against top companies like Coinbase, Binance, and Ripple, while also tagging a number of tokens as unregistered securities.

His tough approach wasn’t limited to crypto.

While leading the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 2009 to 2014, he was also known as an industry hard-hitter — annoying Wall Street and implementing new swap rules in the aftermath of the global financial crash of 2008.

“Those who have known Gensler throughout his regulatory career know he has an imperious attitude that tends to rub industry and fellow policymakers the wrong way,” Sean Tuffy, a regulation and market structure expert, previously told DL News.

“He’s not a warm and fuzzy guy,” Tuffy said.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-28-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-28-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call. It is Tuesday, January 28th and  you’re listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in yet again to hear what we have to offer tonight on this platform we know as the big call.

All right, let's do this - let's, let's talk about Intel Bob, and let's get this rolling here. All right, so let's do that  -- Now I have a little bit of a disclaimer  to say right now, two different things. One, you guys know that I've been doing this for quite a while, and I would never try to tell you anything that it's not true.

I would  do my best to vet the information that I get, and also to use discernment on what I should bring and how to tell you about it. Now you guys know that I don't create any intel. My main handler that funnels the Intel say, does not create Intel. The Intel is coming from multiple sources.

I know some of you wonder, well, why don't you ever tell us who you, who you're getting this from, or whatever? Well, I can tell you some of these people are, let’s put it this way. They're not public figures. They're behind the scenes people. Some of them are computer people that that manage and have put up the Starlink satellite system. Some of them are military. They go pretty high up.

Some of them are what we call redemption center operatives. Generally, they're all the leader of the redemption center where they work, or in some cases, some of the people are over six redemption centers, or seven redemption centers, or three redemption centers. Those three particular cases and some are bank bond people that help  redeem the bonds that are out there.

Some are executives, high up, executives with Wells Fargo, and we don't always get the information that we're looking for. Some and more recently, more people are under new NDAs. More people have been told not to say anything to certain people, and it's been getting a little harder to get the information that we want and get it's been a little bit tough, but we generally have something to bring out on every Tuesday and Thursday night that is relevant.

Now, it may only be relevant for a period of time before the information is added to what we already have. We get enhanced information timing things that help to tend to help us explain where we are or why it didn't go or what we still need in the way of to happen behind the scenes.

So this is really changing scenario, and you guys know that by now, I'm sure. But I've been told by one of our sources said this is like a military operation that can change at any moment. And I think he was right. I think we've seen that. Certainly we've been very close, at least in the minds of our sources and the very good sources, and yet, for some reason or another, we didn't go. It wasn't ready. We just didn't go.

So I'm telling you right now that there are certain people on two calls that are out there, that you guys know about, that are speaking against the concept of redemption centers, as if they don't matter or don't exist, the banks, banks, banks are the only way to do these exchanges. And it's so unbelievably untrue, because the people that are in charge of the redemption centers, we know the people that send out the emails that they get from Treasury Wells Fargo to go out to the redemption centers across this country, and there are,  I believe it's over 10,000 redemption centers in in the United States, not including what there is in Canada, which is overseen by HSBC. The ones in us were seen by Wells Fargo.

The ones in Mexico and further South and Central America and so on are also seen by Uncle Santander, which is Santander Bank. HSBC has a lot of the international locations in Europe and other countries. I contract primarily on, of course, the United States and Canada, a close trading partner and neighbor to us. Also, I get information out of Canada, and it's very helpful and it's very positive.

So just be aware that if we miss it, or we miss date, or something happens like that, that try not to shoot the messenger. I'm somebody that brings you the best of what I hear - and, you know, listen, there are times when things come out and I’m not  happy with what I’m getting and I'm saying  wait a minute -that is bringing this into play or that into play.

 Why hasn't that been done? Whatever I don't I'm not 100% I'm not a lay down when it comes to getting this information you guys to know. It affects me, affects Sue - it affects all of you. If I get something that I that seems like it's not right –

I heard something the other day, I don't know about that. That does not seem to be accurate, find the next day or so that same person will give you some information that will clarify it. Or they go okay, I see what I see what that was all about.

 Now let me tell you where, where we are, what we're hearing.  Let's talk about Iraq for a minute.

Iraq, Was sent half a billion dollars in Fiat dollars, in other words, the money that we currently have in our wallets and not in our purses. If you're woman, they would send this half $1,000,000,000. 500 million by the Biden administration before this past election, the 2024 election, and they were trying to support and delay the RV and our start?

 Well, I heard this yesterday, that those monies, they need to be picked up in Iraq. Iraq still believes that if you're in Iraq listening to this call in Arabic, let me tell you, for the most part, not everybody, but for the most part, Iraq still has more faith in our fiat dollar, which has nothing but the full faith and  track record essentially, of the US government behind it.

Now that's about to change – In a matter of a couple of days, we'll have our USN and USTN, United States Treasury note currency out. I believe it'll be I heard today between 24 & 36 hours for that to occur.

Now, in the meantime, Iraq has Fiat dollars that they're not supposed to be using. Fiat money outside of the United States is worthless.  It has no value.

Now what's going to happen is the people that have this money in Iraq need to exchange it for low denomination Iraqi dinar, and I believe they're doing that right now and continuing to do that until that's that's all gone, or that those Fiat dollars that were brought over by the Biden administration will have no value

All right, so that's one of those little things that may have been holding this up, and they continue to hold it up for a little while, but not very long. I don’t think it's big enough to hold this thing up for more than a few days.

The other thing that I find very interesting is that the timing for this? We know that we have an asset back, dollar, our USN, which is United States note -  You know, come to United States. New digitally, ready to go. It is ready to go. The timing on it looks to be 24 to 32  to 36 hours from now, and we'll all be all set --  in the redemption centers for the past year and a half our US Treasury notes, which is our new currency, our new our new folding money is in the redemption centers, and it's shrink wrapped. It's shrink wrapped and ready for us.

The banks also have it, probably in the vault -  maybe in drawers, but always in the vault. It's not in the teller drawers yet, not at the teller stations. So that's ready to go. And when we get in for exchanges at the redemption center, we will get, we can have, I don't want to take more than $500 in cash in the new US Tia notes. They just think too much cash  could be security risk, and we could end up, you know, losing it or something.  So  that's part of it.

So we have the belief that what we’re hearing from some of our other sources that are bond holders or bond pay masters, is that the release of funds, and let's go back and talk about this, the release of funds tonight or overnight.

Tonight is for the fines and penalties adjudicated settlements, the CMKX, the so called intermediaries, which are farm claims, ranch claims and possibly Native American claims, all of those fit into a category, category that we call intermediaries. They're sort of between tier three and tier four, but they are occurring along with funds going out for bond holders that should receive emails. Bond holders should receive emails tomorrow, telling them that they should have access to their funds on such and such a date.

Okay, so here's something else that I found very interesting. One of our stronger international redemption center leaders said that we would get this – our notifications within five days, and that was including tomorrow, or actually included today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, which is the first of February, Saturday that we would have this on, or by the first of February.

 Now, the latest information so far that I received today is talking about the possibility of getting something over the next 24 to 36 hours. That sort of brings in the possibility of Wednesday, Thursday. Now they could directly based on the idea of five days, could take us all the way out to Saturday, which is February 1. So I guess I'm trying to narrow it down and say it's possible.

Hold on. One moment. Sue. If you're still there, I'm going to take this call real briefly. Thank you Sue. All right, so when we look at this, look at the concept of it could go in a couple of days. I'm saying tomorrow and Thursday are in play, but it could just stretch us out to Fridays, Saturday or Saturday, Saturday, which means we could get notified Friday and start Saturday.

We could get notified Saturday, start Saturday and kick off the weekend. Or, if everything gets completed like we hope, we might be looking at something in the next couple of days before the end of the month.

As far as R and R is concerned, I was told  not to say it won't happen this month, as it still could three days left though, I’m not very confident in that and I definitely don't feel confident increase in Social Security in the month of January, like we had been told, this is again, where the Intel morphs and changes as the situation changes as time goes by.

But we'll have to see when, when that comes out now when we get our new USN currency announced , when we get it out, and we're part of a golden era right now, okay, President Trump is referring to this as a start of a new golden age.

He's referring to the gold backed USN dollar, and he's warned of symbolic things in the past, like the like, for example, he might wear a gold pie, or he might have the White House lit up in gold lights. That was happened a few days ago that took place. So there's symbolism, but you have to look for it.

And we're getting sort of teased on the idea of no income taxes. Well, you remember back it was brought out that they're looking at a so called fair tax, which is really a consumption tax, which that's all part and parcel of NESARA

And so they've been hinting at these things and teasing, and they're talking about this bill and that bill, well, NESARA is a bill that was passed a long time ago, but it was never enacted, and I believe President Trump will enact that. And as part of it, part of that is having an asset backed currency again for us, because, look, a lot of the countries around the world are already gold backed, and we'll be gold backed and backed by other precious metals and other assets, the USN, and We'll have the strongest dollar. Will have the strongest currency again in the world. So that's all happening  for us that's coming in.

So I'm looking forward to a really good week, rest of the week, and possibly weekend, and I want everybody to stay positive for it  and I'm going to do best I can to bring you the best version of the intel that I get as we vet. And I haven't gotten anything else new tonight like I'd hoped before ending the big call - so obviously  I’m hoping  I'll have something more but Thursday, but hopefully we get this thing to kick off by the big call, or before it, in which case Thursday night's call would be a celebration call.

So I'm excited about it and looking forward to it - So let's, let's get ready to just the next  few days to the result of this, and to have everything that we're looking for come through when we get those emails and can set the appointments, realize our dinar contract rate is only available at the redemption center.

 Number one, if you have dinar. And two, the Zim is only redeemed at the redemption centers. So that tells you, right there, you really have to set up an appointment with 800 number, which is very simple, and you'll set that up for a redemption center that's closest to your zip code, and you'll be taken through on this, not very much.

And then you'll be connected to a redemption service person, I believe a live person, will actually finalize the urban setting and answer a few questions for you. Okay, so be aware of that. Look for the emails that would come from Wells Fargo if you're in the United States, and probably HSBC, data and  Central or South America, all right, and let's do this, pray call out, and then we'll take it from there.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 1-29-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: US DOLLAR FALLS AS TRUMP TARIFF PLAN TAKES A TURN

Geopolitical tensions are nearing a fever pitch as the global south and the west face off. With de-dollarization efforts at the forefront, the two sides have shown no interest in budging.

However, things took a twist for BRICS and the US this week, as the US dollar fell from its two-year high with President Donald Trump’s 100% tariff plan taking a turn.

Throughout his campaign for reelection, Trump has not been shy about his perspective on the US dollar. Specifically, he has continued to maintain the importance of the greenback to remain the world’s currency. This week, he has shared an interesting update that adds the latest on what is an extended saga.

US Dollar Falls From 2-Year High as BRICS & Trump Saga Enters Another Chapter

Since his 2024 presidential election win in November of last year, Donald Trump has targeted the BRICS alliance. He has issued a severe warning on the bloc, calling for 100% tariffs on participating nations. Specifically, he sought to challenge its ongoing initiatives to create a native currency to oppose the dollar.

That had been received rather well by the United States citizens. In his early days returning to the Oval Office, the greenback had surged to a two-year high. However, things took a turn on Monday. Specifically, the BRICS and US faceoff saw the US dollar fall as Trump’s tariff plan has taken a turn.

Late last week, the dollar fell to a January low following a recent statement from the US President. Specifically, Trump said he would “rather not” impose tariffs on China, according to a Yahoo Finance report. Moreover, he went into detail about the plan and its impact on the largest economy in BRICS.

“We have one very big power over China, and that is tariffs, and they don’t want them,” Trump said. “And I’d rather not have to use it. But it’s a tremendous power over China.” That statement led the US Dollar index to fall more than 0.5%. In the end, it would have its worst week of the year thus far.

The move saw the greenback suffer its greatest single-day drop since November of 2023. Moreover, the report notes that the movement is likely connected to the president’s refrain from using the “broad-based tariffs on his first day in office.”

 The unknown nature of the tariff policy will still have an increased effect on the dollar. With his economic and international relations policy still developing, its confrontation with BRICS is immensely important to observe.

FED: BANKS ABLE TO SERVE CRYPTO CUSTOMERS, BTC UP 3%

Bitcoin bounced after comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the FOMC meeting signaled that banks are allowed to serve crypto clients.

Crypto markets initially had a muted reaction to the Federal Open Market Committee’s decision on Wednesday, Jan. 29, to keep interest rates unchanged. The Fed maintained its 4.25% to 4.50% federal funds rate, citing “somewhat elevated inflation,” as analysts had predicted.

Bitcoin edged up 0.5% minutes after the Fed released its FOMC minutes. The uptrend accelerated to 3%, pushing BTC above $103,500 heading into the U.S. evening trading session.

Responding to a crypto-related question, Powell stated that U.S. banks are “perfectly able” to serve crypto customers, provided they comply with risk disclosure requirements. He emphasized that de-banking legally compliant customers is not Fed policy, addressing concerns related to the so-called “Operation Choke Point 2.0.”

“Great regulation on crypto would be helpful,” Powell added.

He also reiterated that the U.S. central bank cannot legally hold BTC, prompting Senator Cynthia Lummis to propose changing the law if necessary.

Digital asset markets flipped green following Powell’s remarks while major U.S. equity indices closed the day slightly in the red.

Unchanged federal interest rates split sentiment between bulls and short-term bears. Bulls argued that Bitcoin could surge in February, as it has in eight of the last 12 Februaries. They also speculated that President Trump’s pro-crypto stance could provide additional support for BTC and the broader market.

Bears, on the other hand, contended that static interest rates could deter new capital inflows into BTC and related products, such as Wall Street’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

======
Meanwhile, reports suggest that President Trump has encouraged Powell and the Fed to implement lower interest rates. However, Powell stated that he has had no contact with Trump so far and did not comment on the rumored request.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 1-28-25

Expert Warns Against Changing The Exchange Rate: A Bigger Mistake Than The Last Adjustment

Time: 2025/01/29 18:06:33 Read: 1,620 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al Mashhadani, warned against changing the official exchange rate and returning it to 145 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars.

Al-Mashhadani told {Euphrates News}: "There is talk about the idea of ​​changing the official exchange rate and returning it to 145,000 dinars per 100 dollars," warning that "this measure will be a bigger mistake than the last amendment."

He stressed that "the dollar exchange rates in the parallel market have stabilized for a long time at the threshold of 151,000 dinars per 100 dollars," noting that "this difference has nothing to do with the 2025 budget schedules, as it will not differ much from the 2024 budget."

Al-Mashhadani pointed to "a desire to stabilize the price of a barrel of oil at $60 with a move to reduce investment expenditures, due to the large and ongoing financial deficit in the budget," adding that "the gap between the dollar in the parallel market and the official rate will remain as it is."

He explained that "the dollar exchange rates will not stabilize due to a gap in demand, as Iranian goods constitute a large part of the market, and imports continue at a rate ranging between $25 and $35 million per month, with these funds being financed from the parallel market instead of Central Bank transfers."

The economic expert concluded by stressing that "the exchange rate between the parallel and official market will remain the same unless trade is regulated and included in the Central Bank's transfers." LINK

Oil Prices Recover From Lows To $77.49 Per Barrel

Economy | 09:15 - 01/29/2025   Mawazine News – Baghdad  Oil prices steadied on Wednesday, recovering from multi-week lows, after the White House confirmed U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports this week.

Concerns about weak demand linked to weak economic data from China and high temperatures elsewhere capped gains. Brent crude futures fell 2 cents to $77.49 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 3 cents to settle at $73.80. In his speech broadcast from Washington, D.C., Trump called for lower oil prices and lower interest rates globally.

The White House said Trump still plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday while considering new tariffs on China. In Libya, local protesters blocked crude oil loadings on Tuesday at the Es Sider and Ras Lanuf ports, putting about 450,000 barrels per day (bpd) of exports at risk.

But fears of supply disruptions eased after Libya’s National Oil Corporation said export activity was running normally after talks with protesters. China, the world’s biggest importer of crude oil, reported an unexpected contraction in manufacturing activity in January on Monday, putting pressure on oil prices.

 Chinese demand for crude is also expected to be affected by recent U.S. sanctions on Russian oil trade. In the United States, weather forecasts are calling for above-average temperatures this week, which is also affecting demand for gasoline Heating after bitter cold weather sent natural gas and diesel prices higher in previous sessions.  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=259142
