Member: Good evening to everyone.  Sure is a lot of big things happening worldwide!

Member: Mike Bara think tonight could be the night.!!

Member: I really hope Mike is right!

MZ: He should be on Whiskey and Wisdom tonight…..will probably give his intel before the fun stuff starts

Member: Rumor mill is in overdrive tonight . So many calling for the RV tonight others Saturday night. It’s feels close either way.

MZ: MZ: Starting with Iraq:  “Al Mahhadani calls on political blocs for an emergency meeting to end differences  and discuss challenges”  They are meeting at the Presidential Palace guys….the meeting last weekend was so successful….they are having another one this weekend.

MZ: “Parliamentary Finance discusses with a US delegation the file for contracts of foreign oil companies operating in Kurdistan”  They are getting things sorted out to put final numbers on the budget tables for HCL. Big things are going on.

MZ: “Sudani supervises the signing of a contract to develop the refinery by adding a refinery unit of 70 thousand barrels a day” This is a 800 million dollar deal. This is big one that greatly increases output and dollars for Iraq.

MZ:   “After Trump’s sanctions the Iranian rial plunges to all time low”      One US dollar will buy you $85,750 Iranian rial. Do you think they might be willing to sit down at the negotiating table now?

Member: What do you think the trigger is Mark. Seems like there have been many opportunities for this to go, but it doesn’t.

Member: IMO Trumps Sovereign Wealth Fund will Raise the Value of ALL Currencies

MZ: I heard something fun today. I’m almost afraid to tell it to you. But, I have someone from the east coast that I had the privilege of meeting when I was in Reno many years ago aggregating my dinar with the “Wounded Warrior Crew”

MZ: I don’t know all the details….but I know that a very sudden trip west has been initiated. He has been asked to be there. I do not know what for yet. All I know is he got the call and has to get there. He has not made that trip in close to 4 years.

MZ: So when I heard this particular individual….someone I know in real life….I got very excited today. It could be nothing…but it could be huge. I think it’s huge. He is probably in the air right now. He is neither a bond holder or a paymaster…but works for a group.

MZ: They are still staying quiet on the bond side and on the group side. (Except the above story)

Member: Really hoping to turn in my two weeks notice this weekend.

Member: The news gets better and better every day!

Clare:  Prime Minister Approves New Date for Iraq Investment Forum

2/3/2025  Baghdad – 

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani has approved a new date for the Iraq Investment Forum, scheduled to take place from April 12-13, 2025.
 
According to a letter from the Prime Minister's office, received by The Iraq News Agency-INA , "The Prime Minister's approval has been granted to hold the Iraq Investment Forum on April 12-13, 2025, for the necessary arrangements in light of the Prime Minister's approval."  LINK

Clare: Iraq is heading to implement the first historical transfer operation through the international (TIR) system

2/5/2025  Baghdad-

The International Road Transport Union (IRU) announced during its visit last week that Iraq is heading towards implementing the first historic transport operation through the international road transport system (TIR).

The union stated in a statement, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "a delegation from the International Road Transport Union (IRU) visited Iraq last week to lay the foundation for the first cross-border transport movement in the country within the international road transport system (TIR).

It explained that "Iraq is close to achieving a historic achievement in cross-border trade, as the first transport operation under the umbrella of the international road transport system is expected to take place soon, as this event represents a turning point for the country and a major step towards full integration into the recognized international system for customs transit."

It added that "during the past week, the International Road Transport Union (IRU) held key discussions with stakeholders in the public and private sectors, reinforcing Iraq's commitment to modernizing the trade sector and adopting international best practices."

It pointed out that "a specialized workshop was organized during the visit, focusing on the importance of international agreements of the United Nations, such as the TIR Convention and the European Convention on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. Experts highlighted the vital role of these agreements in simplifying cross-border trade, enhancing trade security, and reducing road accidents. Discussions also addressed the importance of professional excellence in the land transport sector and developing strong regulatory frameworks to support it."

The statement continued that "cooperation between the public and private sectors was one of the main themes of the meetings, as its essential role in achieving these goals was emphasized," noting that "effective coordination between government authorities and the private sector is a crucial factor in ensuring the smooth implementation of the TIR Convention and the European Convention on the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road, which enhances Iraq's position in regional and global trade."

It concluded that "as Iraq prepares for this achievement, it stands on the threshold of a new era in the field of transport and international trade, as it adopts global best practices to enhance efficiency, security, and economic growth."  LINK

Clare: Confirming Shafaq News news.. Al-Sudani calls on the State Administration Coalition to hold a meeting in Baghdad

2/5/2025

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called on Wednesday for members of the State Administration Coalition to hold a meeting at the government palace next Saturday, February 8, 2025.

A statement issued by Al-Sudani's office explained that the latter's call for holding the meeting aims to "discuss the general situation in the country and examine a number of files at the national level."

The State Administration Coalition called for an emergency meeting next Saturday at the government palace in the capital, Baghdad, to discuss a group of "important" issues.

An informed source told Shafaq News Agency that the most important of these issues is the recent escalation against the Federal Court after it issued the federal order to stop the implementation of the three controversial laws.

The Iraqi political arena has witnessed rapid development since yesterday, Tuesday, after the Federal Court issued a judicial order to stop the implementation of the general amnesty laws, amend the Personal Status Law, and return the properties to their owners in Kirkuk.

This decision prompted the Sunni forces to escalate their stance against the court, as official work was suspended in three Sunni provinces in protest against the decision, amid hints of other escalatory steps such as withdrawing from parliament and the government, and organizing protest demonstrations, the beginnings of which began in the city of Mosul today.

In contrast, the Coordination Framework announced its support for the court’s procedures, stressing its constitutional right to monitor the laws.

It is noteworthy that this decision came after a number of representatives filed an appeal regarding the parliament’s collective voting on the laws, while observers are awaiting a final decision from the court in the coming weeks.

Earlier today, the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council issued a fatwa that it is not permissible to suspend the implementation of laws enacted by the House of Representatives before they are published in the Official Gazette, while it considered that the law amending the Personal Status Law and returning properties to their owners requires delaying the issuance of any decision related to them. It stressed that the courts in the country are obligated to implement the general amnesty law.

The "State Administration" coalition includes the Shiite parties (the Coordination Framework), the Sunni blocs (the Progress and Sovereignty Alliance), and the Kurdish parties (the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan), and since its formation it has aimed to support a consensus government to ensure the stability of the political process and implement agreements between the political blocs.  LINK

Clare:  The Ministry of Commerce directed to expedite the completion of financial statements for budgets of previous years.

2/5/2025  Baghdad /

 Minister of Trade Athir Dawood Al-Ghariri directed, today, Wednesday, the financial and budget departments to complete the financial data for the budgets of previous years and send them to the Financial Supervision Bureau for the purpose of approval and submission of comments, no later than the tenth of next May.

The ministry said in a statement that "Al-Ghariri stressed during an expanded meeting held in the presence of the general administrations of the grain trading and manufacturing companies, the administrations of the relevant departments, and a number of assistants to the general managers, the need to assume responsibility for preserving public money.

He pointed out that the approval of these budgets is an achievement that contributes to the return of entitlements as revenues to the general budget, in addition to limiting the companies' shares of their profits and the ministry's revenues.

The minister confirmed that the ministry has achieved a remarkable achievement by obtaining second place among government agencies in the file of combating corruption and integrity with a rate of 99.35%, which was not achieved in previous years, pointing to the adoption of the principle of reward and punishment in evaluating performance and not being lenient with the lazy who do not adhere to performance and implementation plans.   LINK

Clare:  Trump Restores Tough Line on Iran—Includes Watch on Iraqi Banks, Gulf States Transshipment of Prohibited Goods

NSPM-2 directs the Secretary of State to “take immediate steps” to ensure Iran does not use Iraqi banks to evade sanctions or Gulf ports to transship prohibited goods.

WASHINGTON DC, United States (Kurdistan24) On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump revived the tough line toward Iran that he pursued during his first term in office.This was laid out most clearly in two documents released by the White House: “National Security Presidential Memorandum/NSPM-2” and “Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Restores Maximum Pressure on Iran.”NSPM-2 is addressed to 17 senior officials at 16 U.S. government agencies, including the State Department.

It contains four directions to the Secretary of State. One aims to prevent Iran from using the facilities of regional states to circumvent the renewed U.S. sanctions.

That direction has two parts. One part is to maintain a watchful eye on Iraq’s banking system, which Iran has used in the past to evade sanctions. The second part is to prevent Gulf countries from acting as transshipment routes for Iran’s import of prohibited goods.

Thus, NSPM-2 directs the Secretary of State to “take immediate steps in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury and other relevant agencies to ensure that the Iraqi financial system is not utilized by Iran for sanctions evasion or circumvention and that Gulf countries are not used as sanctions evasion transshipment points.”

Iran as Major State Sponsor of Terrorism

The view of Iran, as expressed in NSPM-2, is the reverse of that held by the Biden administration, when it took office in January 2021. It believed then that U.S. pressure on Iran, which had been Trump’s policy, was a major source of regional instability. So, it adopted an accommodating position toward Tehran.

But that policy failed. There was no reduction in tensions, rather they increased, particularly after Hamas’s brutal Oct. 7, 2023, cross-border assault into Israel.

Eventually the Biden administration came around to the view that Iran was, indeed, an aggressive power. It posed a threat to the region and had to be contained, as President Joe Biden told Congress in his March 2024 State of the Union speech.  LINK

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-4-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 2-4-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Music. Welcome everybody to the big talk tonight. It is Tuesday, February 4th  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for coming in. I can tell you this much. We're going to have a shorter call tonight. Bob is under the weather. I'm under the weather. Sue is not under the weather. She is the weather. And so I have Intel, which is very good for us tonight, but I'm going to give it up in a fairly quick manner. And I'm sure Bob has something to say as well, but we're going to kind of cruise through this call a little faster than normal. Let's pray to call in,

 All right, let's go ahead and move into the Intel segment, guys, it's not going to be very long, but I do have some good information to give you.

*****************************************

What we're hearing is, and this is coming from redemption center leaders, and one of the leaders is over seven redemption centers. We've got one guy that's over seven, another guy that's over six, another guy that's over three, and then we have the individual redemption centers.  We've got four others that we talked to that are over individual redemption centers.

So what I want to impress upon you is that Iraq did what they were supposed to do last Sunday, which is their first business day, they brought out a new rate, and they passed an amendment to their budget, and everything appears, from Iraq's perspective, to be a go right now -- moving forward for us.

The other thing is that we got information passed on to us today that says that bond holders will be getting notified Tomorrow at five different times with their emails, and that's starting at 10am, 11am, 12, one o'clock and two o'clock. So that's going to apply all over the country to bondholders, getting their emails and then getting access to their funds in their accounts, either tomorrow night or Wednesday – So that’s really good news, we want those guys to get it. That's  tier three

Now, what we’re getting from multiple redemption center leaders is that are supposed to get notifications, which is our email, starting tomorrow - aroun10 o'clock in the morning. And we should, based on that, happen around 10 o'clock morning tomorrow, we should be able to set our appointments – and start exchanges – 3 hrs later  which would be afternoon tomorrow, and if not, we would start on Wednesday.

If not, we would start on Thursday. So it's looking very good for us, and that would be tier 4A and 4B going together and getting notified, we believe as early as 10am tomorrow, which is Wednesday.

So that's very exciting. The other thing is, there's been a couple videos out  that have a very very low dinar rate that has been like in the 3.27 range.

That's not really the case, and certainly it's not the case for us  XXX XXXXXXXX was to make sure that we would get the high level rate on the dinar, as well as other currencies. And for example that rate is nowhere near where we're going to be with the contract rate they intend to offer us -

Anybody know what a hundo is does? I know Bob does and Sue does - Keep that in mind.  I believe that’s where we are going to be on it -

So that's extremely good  - you know that the Zim  is on par with  the USN at 1.00 (dollar)

****************************

The  redemption centers don’t have the ATM’s  for the bank and the bank, the new software installed yesterday and today is giving them  - shou ld h ave – in other words =  use the ATM’s  at the banks  to get cash – USN  probably either tomorrow or Wednesday. It would start with the USN --  you would be able to take out $2,000 twice a day,  I don’t know that y ou  would need to  - I’m going to say  don’t do it unless you absolutely have to  but that’s a lot more cash than we're used to having - probably a lot of us. So keep that in mind.

The other thing is, the rates of the bank screens were up this morning, and they were not up at the redemption centers today, but they fully expect to be up by tomorrow, at 10 o'clock in the morning. I believe we're going to have that tomorrow. That'll be that would be a cool thing.

Also, the other nice piece that we got in the way of a in the way of an email today was that the redemption centers will be 100% staffed and ready to go tomorrow at 10am -- Now this means they would be ready to go to for us to center appointments and possibly Start exchanges tomorrow, but it's not 100% clear.

We might just be setting appointments  tomorrow and starting exchanges on Thursdays, so we're gonna have to see what happens tomorrow. But we should be getting our emails tomorrow, starting at around 10am

that would be good we've got right now, as of today, we had four 60% of redemption centers all staffed /standing ready to go today and Tomorrow, the remaining 40% will be up and rolling tomorrow by 10am

So it’s a big day today, and it's going to be a bigger day tomorrow. And hopefully we not only get our numbers around 10 in the morning, but we set our appointments  and can start exchanges, hopefully tomorrow afternoon, and if not tomorrow, it should be Thursday, so I think we will probably plan to have a celebration call on Thursday  I know some of us aren't going to care. You're just going to go and and do whatever you’ve got to do  So be aware and watch out for, for the emails to come in tomorrow – starting around 10 am

And I think that's really everything I wanted to say tonight, to prepare to move forward. Think that’s everything we  needed to say,

Good night formula for me is kicking in. We'll thank everybody else that helped to get this call and support this call like most of you have for 13 years now. Thank you so much for everything everyone has done.

**********************************

Now we plan to do on Thursday, even if we get numbers, because we'd like to do a celebration call. Let's see what happens tomorrow and Thursday and see if everything is rolling, because that's what we should try to do.  Celebrate this together and remember, remember XXX XXXXX has set this thing up where we should be setting our appointments to go to redemption centers, not if you want the best rates on then are you, Iraqi, didn't you need to go to the redemption center, and if you have zim, that's the only place right now, the Zim is going to be redeemable. So let's take that and run with it.

Let's pray the call out, and then I'll turn the call out, Thanks everybody for listening for 13 years. We will talk Thursday.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Afternoon 2-5-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

JUST IN: FDIC TO ALLOW BANKS TO MANAGE CRYPTO ASSETS AND TOKEN DEPOSITS

FDIC to let U.S. banks manage crypto assets, offer tokenized deposits without prior approval, marking a policy shift under the Trump administration.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is set to revise its guidelines, allowing U.S. banks to manage crypto assets and offer tokenized deposits without prior regulatory approval. This decision marks a shift in U.S. banking policy under the Trump administration, which has shown increased support for digital assets.

Acting FDIC Chairman Travis Hill confirmed the changes during a Senate hearing, stating that the agency is reassessing its past approach to cryptocurrency regulations.

FDIC to Change Crypto Regulations for Banks

The FDIC’s decision to revise its crypto guidelines is part of an ongoing review of past regulatory policies that discouraged banks from engaging with crypto assets. Hill stated that banks seeking to enter the sector had faced delays, excessive scrutiny, and resistance from regulators.

During his testimony, Hill explained, “Requests from these banks were almost universally met with resistance, ranging from repeated requests for further information to directives from supervisors to refrain from expanding crypto- or blockchain-related activity.”

The FDIC has also released a series of internal documents detailing past communications with banks regarding cryptocurrency. These records were disclosed as part of a court order in response to a lawsuit by Coinbase, which had sought transparency on regulatory actions affecting the industry.

RIPPLE-CARDANO PARTNERSHIP COMING NEXT MONTH? (CHARLES HOSKINSON WEIGHS IN)

“We talk to David Schwartz and Brad Garlinghouse,” Cardano’s founder said.

▪️Hoskinson confirmed active discussions with Ripple’s leadership on RLUSD integration, with potential big news in March.

▪️Ripple’s stablecoin crossed $100M market cap, with major exchanges like Bitstamp embracing it.

One Step Closer?

The interactions between Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, and some of Ripple’s executives in the past months have caused some members of the crypto community to speculate about a potential collaboration between the two ecosystems.

In November last year, the bosses exchanged kind words, while Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple’s CEO) said, “Now is the time for the crypto community to come together, push for a level playing field and clear rules of the road.”

Earlier this year, Hoskinson took part in a heated discussion on X in which he hinted that Cardano might integrate Ripple’s stablecoin – RLUSD – into its system. “We’ve already had a call with the RLUSD people. We are actively talking,” he stated at the time.

The chances of a partnership have seemingly gone up, considering Hoskinson’s most recent disclosure. He said Cardano’s team keeps an active conversation with Ripple’s leadership regarding the implementation of RLUSD. Hoskinson also indicated that big news might be announced next month:

“We talk to David Schwartz and Brad Garlinghouse. Strong possibility we can negotiate (RLUSD). Ripple told us to wait till March as they just finished NYDFS. We’ll see if there’s a roadmap and how they’ll get that done.”

A potential partnership between Cardano and Ripple (two of the most recognizable entities in the crypto world) may positively impact the prices of their native tokens. As of writing these lines, ADA and XRP are both in the red weekly following the severe market correction witnessed on February 3.

RLUSD’s Advancement

Ripple made the headlines in April 2024, revealing its plans to design a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the American dollar. The product passed through a testing phase in the following months before being officially approved by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in mid-December.

At first, it received support from the cryptocurrency exchanges Uphold, Bitstamp, Bitso, Moonpay, CoinMENA, and Bullish.

Monica Long (Ripple’s president) said at the beginning of January that people should expect such a move from other popular platforms “imminently.” Shortly after, Bitstamp hopped on the bandwagon, listing the following trading pairs: RLUSD/EUR, RLUSD/USD, RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/BTC, RLUSD/ETH, and RLUSD/XRP.

Despite being far away from the leaders Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), RLUSD recently hit an important milestone: its market capitalization crossed $100 million. It will be interesting to see whether the product will keep progressing throughout 2025 and whether it will erase the big gap between itself and the leaders in its field.

SEC SUED BY WATCHDOG GROUP OVER WITHHELD CRYPTO REPORT

Empower Oversight has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to disclose a long-awaited report on ethical conflicts and selective enforcement within the agency.

The SEC Office of Inspector General completed the report more than a year ago, but the agency has yet to release it despite repeated Freedom of Information Act requests, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit seeks to compel the SEC to disclose findings related to former SEC Division of Corporate Finance Director William Hinman.

The investigation focuses on potential conflicts of interest involving Hinman’s ties to his previous law firm, Simpson Thacher, which had financial interests in promoting Ethereum.

SEC’s ‘silent treatment’

Empower Oversight has pursued SEC transparency since August 2021, filing multiple FOIA requests and lawsuits seeking documents related to agency communications with crypto entities. The watchdog argues that the SEC’s delays suggest a pattern of avoiding accountability in its enforcement actions.

“The SEC’s silent treatment is old and tired, and its refusal to release these records is, quite frankly, suspicious,” said Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight.

Leavitt emphasized that transparency is essential to addressing concerns over regulatory bias and ensuring accountability in the crypto sector.

The SEC has faced mounting criticism for its regulatory approach, with industry leaders, including Coinbase, accusing the agency of selective enforcement.

Former SEC Chair Gary Gensler also faced scrutiny for aggressive litigation against major crypto firms like Coinbase and Ripple.

Empower Oversight remains committed to obtaining the SEC OIG report, arguing that public access to the findings is necessary to evaluate the agency’s handling of crypto regulations.

Plan to Abolish the Fed and Income Tax, is $100K Gold Next?

Plan to Abolish the Fed and Income Tax, is $100K Gold Next?

Taylor Kenny:  2-4-2025

Imagine a world where you don’t have to file taxes every year. No more deductions, no more credits, just a paycheck you keep entirely. It sounds like a utopian dream, and it’s one seemingly floated by President Donald Trump.

While details remain scarce, the mere suggestion of eliminating income tax has sparked a whirlwind of speculation – most notably, the potential for gold prices to skyrocket to unprecedented levels, possibly even exceeding $100,000 per ounce.

But is this a realistic possibility, or just wishful thinking? And what would it take to replace such a significant revenue stream for the government?

Trump’s vision, as hinted at, involves potentially replacing income tax with tariffs on imported goods. This radical shift would fundamentally alter the way the US economy operates. Proponents argue it would simplify the tax system, incentivize domestic production, and potentially boost certain sectors.

So, where does gold fit into this equation? The answer lies in uncertainty. Dramatic shifts in economic policy, especially those involving potential inflation and trade disruption, often drive investors towards safe-haven assets like gold.

While the possibility of a massive gold surge is undoubtedly intriguing, a price of $100,000 per ounce remains a highly speculative scenario. Several factors would need to align perfectly for such an extreme outcome. Other potential implications beyond gold would also need to be considered in the event of a trade war.

However, the discussions surrounding Trump’s economic proposals highlight the potential for significant changes in the global financial landscape. The combination of unprecedented fiscal policies, potential trade disruptions, and questions surrounding the role of the Federal Reserve creates a climate of uncertainty that undoubtedly favors safe-haven assets, putting gold squarely in the spotlight.

Whether it will reach $100,000 or not remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the potential shift underway in the financial system is already making waves, and the possibility of a major shakeup is something investors can’t afford to ignore.

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

Member: Gooood morning Mark, mods and fellow Patriots

Member: Wed. already and we continue to wait….Hope Mark has some RV news today.

Member: I cross my fingers we get great news posted in the Iraq gazette this weekend.

Member: Please tell us we are close to getting a published rate in Iraq?

Member: Ramadan starts Feb 28th and lasts a month

Member: Do you think we will see the RV before Easter Mark?

MZ: I think we will see it before Easter…..I could be wrong…but that is what I think

MZ: From Iraq: “Trump makes a decision to prevent Iraq from importing gas and electricity from Iran” We know Iraq is working on getting its gas facilities up to speed for consuming and using their own natural gas products…..as far as electricity-Iraq is going to need a bit of help from the US . You can expect the US to help build infrastructure in Iraq. In the long run this will bring more stability to Iraq and stop influence from Iran.  There needs to be a quick response to make this work.

Member: Mark we have the best people that come up with impossible solutions with the Army Corp of Engineers and Navy Seabees. We use both organizations together and nothing we can't accomplish post haste.

MZ: “ Sudanese Diplomacy puts Iraq on the path to peace : A strategic choice to avoid the scourge of war”  While things fall apart around Iraq….they are standing strong. Part of the reason is because they are working with the new Trump administration

MZ: “ Iraq and Jordan agree to reorganize entry of goods” They are working on a joint economic city on the border so this will become a “border city” or a trade city for both sides. Jordan is widely accepted as a friend to all westernized countries and will open up an enormous door for Iraq internationally.  This is big and exciting news.

MZ: From Rueters “ British petroleum (BP) plans to invest $25 billion in Iraq” They would not be there if they did not think they would make their money back over time. This is a long term commitment  to the Kirkuk region….more Stability

MZ: “Iraq finance launches bonds worth two trillion dinars to boost investment and save” This is exciting. Iraqi citizens wish to invest in the future of Iraq and they get a better rate then even US Savings bonds.

Member: What are we expecting once the budget tables are done?

MZ: We are expecting and hoping the Iraqi tables to have new rates. Amounts and new rates for currency… I am told parliament is working on them today

MZ: “ Is Silver on the verge of the biggest breakout in History? “ Imo personal opinions based on history and charts we may see silver hit $50 and ounce

Member: Is there any new historic bond or redemption contact news?

MZ: It’s is like pulling teeth to get bond news since they are cracking down on them ..plugging leaks and doing more compliance work as things are again “out of date” since this has taken so long. They are again updating things. So once again while they go through updating compliances….things are very quiet. 

MZ: Many bond contacts had expected things to happen on Jan 4th…but some are now looking at after the 10th to the 12th .

Mark, next week is Valentine’s day on Friday the 14th  AND President’s Day on Monday the 17th… so a 3  day weekend.... Any chance they are gonna hold out announcements until then as it’s a 3-day weekend??

Member: Many are saying money exchange will happen first and nesara gesera will be in Aug ? Was hoping it would all happen at the same time

Member: The U.S. Department of the Treasury is offering $125 billion of Treasury securities to refund approximately $106.2 billion of privately-held Treasury notes and bonds maturing on February 15,

Member: U.S. Department of the Treasury Withdraws from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS)

Member: Wow my bank is down for updates

Member: Come on RV momma needs a new pair of shoes, and daddy needs a new truck. Lol

Mnt Goat   Article:   “IRAQ ISSUES NEW BANKNOTES WITH INNOVATIVE SECURITY FEATURES FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED.. PHOTOS”.  I have to once again reinforce...that the issuance of the visually impaired three zero notes is not an issue.  As an investor, this is  not something you should worry about...it is actually a good thing for our investment not a negative impact.

Militia Man    If they're going to be paying salaries, if they're going to be allowing oil to move, change is coming.  We can all feel they're going to have to adjust their exchange rate...If they were going to expose 1310 they would have done it a long time ago.  They would have never waited this long.  They wouldn't have hid it and they would have made the budget tables public...Are they waiting for a special time?  It sure looks like it.  A digital transformation is upon them and they're going to have an interconnection with a digital platform to move their currency...I think Iraq is probably not going to be the only one that's going to be involved in this.

Iraqi Parliament Votes on Budget Amendments

This Will Likely Be A Really Big Deal For Gold

This Will Likely Be A Really Big Deal For Gold

Notes From the field by James Hickman (Simon Black)  February 4, 2025

Well that was fast.

The smoke had barely cleared on the opening salvo of the Great North American trade war, when all sides called a truce to talk out their differences.

Just as we wrote yesterday, this is exactly what I was hoping would happen. In fact, in a Zoom call that Peter and I had Friday with our Total Access members, we predicted this outcome: that the trade wars were just an elaborate show to demonstrate to the world that America is willing to make good on its threats, and force everybody to the negotiation table.

There may be some short term benefit that comes from this. But as we said yesterday, there will likely be some long term consequences and here’s why:

According to Federal Reserve data, there will be roughly $28 trillion worth of US government bonds maturing over the next four years, i.e. now through the end of 2028.

That’s more than 75% of the government’s $36+ trillion national debt.

This is an absolutely staggering figure, averaging $7 trillion per year for the next four years.

And remember, we’re just talking about the existing debt that is set to mature. It doesn’t even include new debt that has to be issued over the next four years, which could easily be another $7-10 trillion.

This is an enormous problem for the Treasury Department, because they clearly don’t have $28 trillion to repay those bondholders.

Now, usually whenever a government bond matures, the investor might simply roll the proceeds into a new government bond. In other words, the old bond matures, and the investor puts the entire principal and interest into a new bond at whatever the higher interest rate is today.

This alone is going to cost the government a lot of money, because most of the bonds that are maturing over the next four years were originally issued 5, 10, or even 20 years ago, when interest rates were much, much lower.

So let’s do the math: if the government issued $28 trillion in the past at an average interest rate of 3%, but now they’ll have to refinance all that debt at a new rate of 5%, then effectively they’ll be paying an extra 2% per year.

That’s almost $600 billion in additional interest EACH YEAR on top of the $1.1 trillion interest bill that they’re currently paying. But even that might be wishful thinking.

And the reason why is, if you look at America’s public debt, the investors who buy those bonds are split pretty evenly between US entities (the Federal Reserve, American companies, US individual investors) and foreign investors (foreign government, central banks, multinationals).

This is critical to understand: the Treasury Department relies very heavily on foreigners to buy US government bonds and help fund the national debt.

At the moment, most countries around the world have to buy US government bonds simply because the US dollar is still the world’s dominant reserve currency. So they are essentially forced to hold US dollar assets, and Treasury securities are still the most liquid US dollar assets in the world.

Yet for the past several years there has been a significant movement underway by a number of countries to engage in trade and commerce without using the dollar. And this movement is growing.

I mentioned in my letter to you yesterday that the brand new Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged this over the weekend, suggesting that the dollar’s dominance could be seriously diminished within five years.

Facing the constant threat of sanctions and tariffs will only motivate Brazil, Russia, China, India, and even many countries in Europe, to accelerate their diversification away from the dollar, and away from the United States.

The natural beneficiary of that trend will be gold.

We’ve written about this extensively. Gold rocketed to an all time high last year because central banks, and foreign governments, were reducing their dollar holdings.

And think about it. If you’re a foreign central bank and you have $100 billion of US government bonds that are about to mature, what are you going to do?

Are you going to reinvest that entire $100 billion back into a country that might already be threatening you with economic penalties?

Or do you quietly let the treasuries mature, take the money, and find someplace else to invest that $100 billion?

A lot of foreign governments and central banks are going to be giving serious consideration to option two.

But they are going to have to invest that money in an asset that, like US dollars, is widely accepted, and has universal value and marketability around the world.

Gold is one of those assets. And that’s why central banks have been buying so much of it for the past couple of years.

I think there’s an obvious case to be made, given the prospects of tariffs and further trade wars, or even just the threats thereof, they are going to keep buying gold and send the price even higher.

So if you’re interested in hedging against future risks to the US dollar, gold makes a lot of sense.

But on a final note, I’ll point out as I have in the past, that foreign governments and central banks buy gold. They do not buy shares in gold companies.

And right now there is a bizarre financial paradox in that gold is at an all time high, but thriving, profitable businesses which produce gold are trading at absurd discounts.

And we’ll talk about some examples over the next few days.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Morning 2-5-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS LAUNCH BICAMERAL WORKING GROUP TO BRING CLARITY TO CRYPTO

Republican lawmakers announce a bicameral working group to fast-track crypto regulations, focusing on stablecoins and digital asset market rules in a major push for long-awaited industry clarity.

Republican lawmakers are stepping up their efforts to bring clear rules to the crypto industry, forming a bicameral* working group to push legislation on stablecoins and digital asset market structures.

The move, announced on Feb. 4 at a Capitol Hill press conference, marks a coordinated effort between key House and Senate leaders to create a structured framework for crypto regulation, an issue that has remained in legal limbo for years.

The working group includes members from four major committees—the House Financial Services Committee, the House Agriculture Committee, the Senate Banking Committee, and the Senate Agriculture Committee—showing that lawmakers see crypto regulation as an issue that spans multiple sectors of financial oversight.

Representative French Hill of Arkansas, along with Senators Tim Scott and John Boozman and Representative Glenn Thompson, will play leading roles in shaping these policies, drawing from existing legislative efforts while introducing new proposals.

Lawmakers plan to build on the Financial

Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), which passed a House committee in 2024, while also using a new stablecoin bill introduced by Senator Bill Hagerty on Feb. 4 as a starting point for further discussions.

Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott has made it clear that speed is a priority, saying he wants to push the crypto bills through the Senate within the first 100 days of the congressional session.

Conversations with Democratic colleagues are already underway, raising the possibility that some elements of these bills could gain bipartisan support.

At the press conference, David Sacks, Trump’s crypto and artificial intelligence czar, spoke about the broader vision for digital assets, calling this a key moment to create a “golden age” for crypto in the U.S.

His role extends beyond Congress, as he is also overseeing a separate initiative within the White House to assess the possibility of a government-held Bitcoin reserve.

Trump’s executive order on Jan. 23 laid the foundation for that discussion, along with directives to prevent the creation of a central bank digital currency.

For years, the lack of clear rules has driven many crypto firms to set up operations overseas, where regulations have been more clearly defined. If successful, this working group could finally give the crypto industry the clarity it has long been waiting for.

*Bicameral legislature is a lawmaking body that's divided into two separate chambers. The two chambers work together to pass laws. A bicameral legislature in the United States Congress: The House of Representatives and the Senate are the two chambers of the U.S. Congress.

ROBINHOOD HALTS SUPER BOWL BETS A DAY AFTER LAUNCH ON CFTC REQUEST

Robinhood Markets has suspended Super Bowl betting after receiving a request from the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission to nix its customers’ access to the event contracts.

The halt comes just a day after Robinhood launched the product in partnership with prediction market Kalishi, allowing wagers on the outcome of the Philadelphia Eagles versus Kansas City Chiefs Feb. 9 game in the National Football League’s championship Super Bowl.

In a Feb. 4 announcement, Robinhood said it would suspend the rollout of the Pro Football Championship market as it continues to work with the CFTC to understand its concerns.

The firm said it had rolled out the product to around 1% of its customers, some of who had already placed trades.

“We are disappointed by this outcome, especially given that we had been in regular communication with the CFTC about our intent and plans to offer this product,” Robinhood said.

It comes just a day after reports that the CFTC was probing Crypto.com and Kalshi over their offerings of Super Bowl event contracts and whether they comply with derivatives regulations.

Event contracts differ from traditional betting in that the odds come from a pool of users betting on the likely winner rather than a bookmaker creating the odds.

Crypto.com told Cointelegraph it would continue to offer the wagers despite the probe.

Robinhood made its first foray into event contracts in October, offering trades based on the outcome of the US presidential election.

The announcement followed a court win by prediction platform Kalshi against the CFTC, allowing the platform to offer US-based users contracts for betting on election outcomes.

Tishwash: Joint statement by the Sudanese Office and the Central Bank on the modernization of the banking sector

Joint statement from the Office of the Prime Minister and the Central Bank of Iraq,

 Banking reforms constitute an important pillar of the economic reform adopted in the government program. In order to complete the important steps that the government has started in this framework since it began its work, and in order to achieve a package of development targets that require banking development, the government, in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq, has embarked on a comprehensive initiative that includes a comprehensive strategic banking reform process that constitutes a turning point in the history of economic development in Iraq, and is consistent with the extent of commitment to raising the level of banking standards, enhancing financial flexibility, and supporting the competitiveness of the financial system.

These comprehensive reforms aim to keep pace with developments in the countries of the region and the world, and contribute to opening partnerships and prospects for communication with the outside world on a broad scale in modern banking and financial transactions, as the Central Bank works to implement and develop regulatory and supervisory frameworks with international partners, which contributes to achieving sustainable growth and development of the banking sector, just as the government works to support the reforms and efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq in developing the state of the banking sector.

These reform efforts focused on the following main areas:

1- Strengthening ownership structures and governance frameworks, by enhancing transparency and accountability, through measures including the creation of diverse ownership structures, and ensuring independent oversight by boards of directors over operations and committees.

2- Raising the level and standards of service, by increasing access to basic financial services for all members of the Iraqi people, through enhancing efficiency, increasing the supply of products, and modernizing the infrastructure of the banking sector.

3- Harmonization and conformity with international standards, by imposing adherence to recognized frameworks and practices in the areas of combating money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, as well as commitment to financial transparency in order to ensure smooth banking services and support businesses and citizens’ needs.

4- Enhancing financial flexibility, by enhancing the financial safety of Iraqi banks and setting strong requirements regarding capital and cash liquidity, to protect customer deposits and protect the economy in the face of local and international challenges.

This initiative comes within the framework of a broader strategy aimed at modernizing the banking sector, which the Central Bank of Iraq is currently developing in partnership with Oliver Wyman, a leading global management consulting firm. The ongoing reforms being implemented with government banks enhance the integration of this strategy, representing a turning point in the future of the Iraqi financial system.

The implementation details of these reforms will be presented later.

From this standpoint, the government and the Central Bank affirm the adoption of a common reform vision, which is to establish a modern, transparent and comprehensive banking system that supports the aspirations of the dynamic economy of the Iraqi state.  link
