The new year often brings excitement and optimism, but it can also come with stress from setting goals, balancing responsibilities, and navigating uncertainties. As we step into 2025, let’s prioritize mental and emotional well-being with these 20 stress busters that help you stay tension-free and focus on a healthier, happier life.

1. Practice Mindful Breathing

Take a few moments each day to focus on your breathing. Deep, slow breaths can calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and enhance focus. Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8. You can practice Soma Breathing. 

2. Start Your Day with Gratitude

Begin each morning by listing three things you’re grateful for. Gratitude shifts your mindset and helps you focus on the positives rather than the stressors. Listen Gratitude Voice that comes from within.

3. Declutter Your Space

A clutter-free environment promotes a clutter-free mind. Spend 10 minutes daily organizing your surroundings to create a calming space.

4. Stay Physically Active

Exercise releases endorphins, the body’s natural stress-relievers. Whether it’s yoga, jogging, or a quick home workout, physical activity boosts mood and lowers anxiety.

6. Try Journaling

Write down your thoughts, feelings, and plans. Journaling can help process emotions, gain clarity, and track progress toward your goals.

7. Embrace Digital Detox

Constant notifications can overwhelm your mind. Dedicate time each day to disconnect from screens and reconnect with yourself or loved ones.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday Morning 2-14-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: this is about old dollar notes ... or is it?

Iraq’s market turns away from “old US Dollar”

Deeply entrenched since the 2003 US invasion, the dollar has become a cornerstone of Iraq’s economy, fueling oil exports, trade, and daily transactions, effectively operating as a parallel currency. However, older banknotes, especially pre-2003 issues, face growing rejection from traders and exchange offices.

Dollar in Iraqi Economy

The US dollar holds a significant position in Iraq's economy, functioning almost as a secondary currency. This prominence is rooted in the economic restructuring that followed the 2003 US invasion, during which the United States assisted in establishing the Central Bank of Iraq. Consequently, the dollar became deeply integrated into Iraq's financial system, especially given the country's substantial informal economy that relies heavily on cash transactions.

Iraq's oil industry, accounting for nearly 99% of the country’s exports, operates primarily in US dollars. This reliance reinforces the dollar’s dominance while closely linking Iraq’s economic stability to fluctuations in the US currency.

In Iraq, the old-design $100 US banknote, particularly those printed in 2003 or earlier, is commonly referred to as “Al-Ammani.” The term dates back to the 1990s when this denomination was widely circulated in Amman, Jordan. Due to strong trade ties between Iraq and Jordan at the time, the nickname made its way into Iraq.

Turns Away from Old Dollar Bills

Over time, new versions of the $100 bill with enhanced security features were introduced, making older editions less common in circulation.

Ahmed Sadiq, owner of Al-Aws exchange office, told Shafaq News that “some currency exchange offices refuse to buy old-design US dollar banknotes from customers,” noting that others accept them but at a rate 2,000 to 3,000 dinars lower than the market price.

He added that some exchange offices stamp certain dollar banknotes with a special office seal to avoid disputes, “because some customers have returned dollar bills to exchange offices, claiming they were counterfeit and alleging they had purchased them from those offices.”

“Marking foreign currency with a seal could create difficulties for buyers when trying to exchange them abroad,” he acknowledged.

For his part, Jowad Malik, owner of Al-Fas exchange office, told Shafaq News that “the reluctance to deal with old-design US dollars stems from counterfeiting cases in Turkiye and Jordan and rumors of such banknotes entering Iraq.” He noted that “many exchange office owners no longer accept them, considering them a thing of the past, or they buy them at a discount of up to 20,000 dinars or more—mainly those who can exchange them at the central bank.”

He also pointed out that many exchange offices refuse to handle $1 bills sometimes even $5 bills, despite neighboring countries accepting, assuming that this is largely influenced by major traders who dominate dollar transactions.

In addition, Iraqi trader Haider Al-Hassani told Shafaq News that he completely avoids dealing with old US dollar banknotes “to prevent counterfeiting risks,” as “older notes lack clear security features.”

Al-Hassani added that he also refrains from trading even in new US dollar bills, stating that “economic security regulations prohibit their exchange at market rates.”

Official Stance and Banking Regulations

Director General of Accounting at the Central Bank, Ihsan Shammran, stated to Shafaq News that “all US dollar banknotes issued by the Federal Reserve remain in circulation, and there are no directives from the bank suggesting otherwise, provided the notes are authentic and not counterfeit.”

He added that “the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and commercial banks continue to accept all denominations and past series of US dollar banknotes as long as they are genuine.”

Regarding the legitimacy of refusing the banknotes, the financial expert and former CBI Director General, Mahmoud Dagher, explained to Shafaq News that “no matter what happens, neither the public, traders, nor exchange office owners can be forced to accept old-design US dollars,” calling the practice a matter of personal discretion. link

Tishwash:  Iraq, Czech strengthen ties with key agreements

On Thursday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani met with Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala in Prague.

Al-Sudani’s media office stated that both sides signed an agreement and five memorandums of understanding across various sectors.

“The ceremony included the signing of an air transport agreement between the Iraqi and Czech civil aviation authorities, as well as a memorandum of understanding between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade.”

The media office added that “a draft memorandum of understanding was signed between the Ministries of Interior of Iraq and the Czech Republic, along with a cooperation memorandum between the Iraqi and Czech Federations of Industries, another between the Iraqi and Czech Chambers of Commerce, and a letter of intent with the Iraqi Ministry of Environment.” link

Tishwash:  Valentine's Day gifts, led by the Tahoe, revive local markets in Iraq

Valentine's Day gift shops witnessed a state of peak and alert during the past two days, as the demand for buying gifts that reflect feelings of love and affection between spouses and lovers increased.

Ibrahim Ali, owner of a gift shop, told Baghdad Today, “Valentine’s Day begins on February 14, and this occasion has begun to witness an increasing presence in Iraqi society, especially in recent years.”

He explained that "there is a real demand for buying gifts by couples, but what is interesting is that the subject is not limited to the youth or newlyweds, but even the elderly, which reflects a message of affection and mercy between spouses and the continuation of the marital relationship. It is an expression of gratitude, communication and harmony, and is a beautiful moment."

Ali added, "Today is the peak day for us, and there is a great demand for buying Valentine's Day gifts, but the level of demand varies from year to year. In some years, demand was very high, and in other years it was low, and this is affected by economic and security factors that put pressure on the level of purchasing."

For his part, Wasfi Karim, who is also a gift seller, pointed out that “the purchasing rate in the past few days was somewhat good, but less than last year, and we hope that today will witness a greater turnout, especially since the weather and general atmosphere encourage celebrating Valentine’s Day, although the economic situation still affects the rates of celebration.”

Karim explained that “a large portion of his customers are shy, so when someone buys a gift for Valentine’s Day, they put it in a dark bag, trying to hide their celebration of this occasion. This reflects an individual privacy that cannot be generalized.”

In a related context, Wajdi Al-Azzawi, owner of a gift and materials sales agency, said, “Valentine’s Day gifts are prepared early, up to a month or two, and are distributed to a large number of shops in Baqubah and the cities of Diyala, and even in the countryside there is a demand for them.”

He told Baghdad Today, "This phenomenon reflects the community's interaction with the occasion, even though we are in a conservative environment, and there are calls to reduce the celebration of Valentine's Day, but it seems that the language of love between spouses, even if it is not announced, is increasingly interacting."

Al-Azzawi added, "Society interacts with this occasion in varying degrees. In some years, there are big celebrations, while in other years, the celebration is modest. Therefore, there are many factors that affect the celebration of Valentine's Day."

In turn, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi stated that "there is an increase in demand for Tahoe cars on Valentine's Day."

Al-Marsoumi pointed out on his Facebook account, which was followed by Baghdad Today, that “Valentine’s Day is one of the most prominent commercial seasons in the world, as it witnesses a significant increase in spending rates on gifts and celebrations, which enhances the movement of markets and supports many economic sectors, from trade to hospitality and tourism. The travel sector also witnesses a noticeable recovery during this occasion, which prompts airlines and hotels to launch special offers to enhance tourism.” 

Al-Marsoumi added, “Valentine’s Day has some positive effects on various economies, as estimates from the Ornamental Plants and Products Exporters Association indicate that Turkey exported about 75 million roses to Europe, worth up to $10 million. These roses were exported to 30 countries, most notably the Netherlands, Britain, Germany and Romania, driven by Valentine’s Day events this year.

 In the United States, consumer spending on this occasion rises to more than $20 billion, which leads to accelerating the growth rate of the gross domestic product there,” noting that “the impact will be limited in developing countries, including Iraq, as the increase in consumer spending will lead to an increase in imports without leaving a positive impact on the economy.”

The economic expert added, "Iraqis spend a lot of money on travel on Valentine's Day, especially since Iraq's average annual spending on tourism, according to World Bank estimates, is $7.5 billion," adding, "This is due to the poor distribution of income in Iraq, which is represented by a small segment of the population controlling the largest part of the national income. There are 36 billionaires in Iraq, each of whom owns more than a billion dollars, and according to a French study, there are 16 thousand millionaires, each of whom owns between one million and one billion dollars."

He added, "Because of this, Valentine's Day this year witnessed a great demand from these rich people for Tahoe cars as gifts presented on this occasion, noting that the price of the Tahoe is about 100 million dinars, which is equivalent to the monthly salaries of about 150 employees."

Valentine's Day, or as it is known, Love's Day, is one of the social occasions celebrated by the world and Iraqis in February of each year, where people compete to buy gifts and present them to their partners, as gifts and their shops are colored red, expressing the color of the heart, in a step that expresses sharing love.  link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

JUDGE REMOVES KEY LEGAL HURDLE FOR TRUMP’S PLAN TO TRIM FEDERAL WORKFORCE WITH DEFERRED RESIGNATIONS

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday removed a key legal hurdle stalling President Donald Trump ’s plan to downsize the federal workforce with a deferred resignation program.

The Boston-based judge’s order in the challenge filed by a group of labor unions was a significant legal victory for the Republican president after a string of courtroom setbacks.

“This goes to show that lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will of 77 million Americans who supported President Trump and his priorities,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Another group of unions filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. late Wednesday, though its potential impacts were not immediately clear.

About 75,000 federal workers accepted the offer to quit in return for being paid until Sept. 30, according to McLaurine Pinover, a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management.

She said the deferred resignation program “provides generous benefits so federal workers can plan for their futures,” and it was now closed to additional workers.

American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley said in a statement that the union’s lawyers are assessing the next steps.

“Today’s ruling is a setback in the fight for dignity and fairness for public servants,” Kelley said. “But it’s not the end of that fight. Importantly, this decision did not address the underlying lawfulness of the program.”

The union continues to maintain that it’s illegal to force American citizens to make a decision, in a few short days, without adequate information, about “whether to uproot their families and leave their careers for what amounts to an unfunded IOU from Elon Musk,” the statement said.

U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. in Boston found that the unions weren’t directly affected, so they didn’t have legal standing to challenge the program, commonly described as a buyout. O’Toole was nominated by former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat.

BRICS: US TRADE WAR, TARIFFS HAS GLOBAL MARKETS PREPARING FOR THE WORST

With geopolitical tensions reaching a fever pitch, the brewing BRICS and US trade war driven by the implementation of new Trump tariffs has global markets preparing for the worst.

Indeed, the US President has continued to forward his aggressive economic policy. Subsequently, it has driven the world to respond as concern rises.

Throughout his campaign for reelection, Trump was adamant that tariffs would be a reality of his returning administration. To this point, he has kept to that word. Yet, the implications of that are beginning to come into view. Moreover, global markets are preparing for them to be dire.

BRICS & US Tensions Push Gold to All-TIme High as Experts Fear for the Worst

The US President has made no qualms about his belief in the US dollar. Indeed, he has maintained his position that the greenback’s status is of the utmost importance. 

Last year, he told American citizens that losing its global reserve position would be akin to the nation losing a war.

The effort to preserve the currency’s status has led him to engage with the global south in growing and concerning tensions. As the BRICS bloc and the US prepare for a potential trade war, the global market share is operating for the worst from the continued arrival of Trump tariffs.

The US is set to impose tariffs on metals coming from North American neighbors Canada and Mexico, as well as China. This has led to retaliate tariffs and plummeting base metal prices. Moreover, gold has surged to an all-time high as investors have rushed to the safe haven asset.

Specifically, it reached a price of $2,818 according to Reuters. Meanwhile, US gold futures edged 0.8% higher Wednesday, reaching $2,857.

Financial experts are projecting widespread economic impacts from the ongoing tariffs and retaliatory import taxes. Specifically, with 75% of annual exports from Canada and Mexico to the US coming in the form of metals, they project notable ramifications.

CNN reported that China is preparing a “countermeasure” to the Trump tariffs. However, things between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have been “very good,” according to experts. So, there is the belief that the two could work to avoid a trade war, despite the opposing stance.

Ultimately, growing tensions will drive production costs and consumer prices and alter trade dynamics. These are all realities that BRICS, the US, and global markets must prepare for. How greatly they impact the world, however, remains to be seen.

Last updated: February 12, 2025

Independent/- In a surprising move, reports indicate that the United States has decided to stop sending cash dollars to Iraq, a decision that could have profound effects on the Iraqi economy and its financial market. This shift raises many questions about its impact on the value of the Iraqi dinar, currency markets, and the local banking sector.

What is a cash dollar?

Cash dollars refer to money that is physically sent to Iraq by the United States, usually through banks or other economic mechanisms. This cash flow has played an important role in supporting the Iraqi economy, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the country.

The reason behind the American decision

Sources indicate that the US decision comes in the context of economic and diplomatic pressures on Iraq, which include issues related to the national economy and monetary policies. Some reports also indicate that the United States may seek to limit the use of the dollar in Iraqi financial transactions, in an attempt to enhance the stability of the local currency and reduce dependence on foreign currencies.

Impact of the decision on the Iraqi dinar

The decision is expected to cause significant volatility in the local currency market. The US dollar is one of the main currencies traded in Iraq, and stopping its flow of cash could lead to a shortage in supply, which could push the dollar higher against the dinar.

The impact of the rise on the Iraqi market

The increase in the value of the dollar may lead to higher prices in the Iraqi market, which will exacerbate the burden of inflation and affect the ability of citizens to purchase basic commodities. This may also indirectly affect economic activity, especially in sectors that rely heavily on imports.

Are there any solutions?

The Iraqi government will face a major challenge in dealing with these developments. The next phase may require developing new economic and financial strategies to mitigate the impact of sudden changes in currency rates. It is necessary to have a move towards strengthening the Iraqi dinar and diversifying the sources of the national economy away from heavy reliance on the dollar.

Conclusion

In light of these developments, it will be important to monitor the short- and long-term effects of this decision. Iraq needs decisive steps to secure the stability of its national currency and protect its economy from the repercussions of the decision to stop the use of the cash dollar.   LINK

Iraq Moves Towards Globalization.. Implementation Of International Accounting Standards Begins In 2026

Time: 2025/02/13 18:45:57 Read: 1,560 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The former director of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Salah Nouri, revealed the steps taken by Iraq to move to fully implement international accounting standards by 2026.

Nouri said in a statement to {Euphrates News} that: "The unified accounting system, which was adopted in the mid-eighties, was appropriate for the economic situation at the time; but it led to Iraq's delay in keeping pace with international standards."

He added, "The Accounting and Auditing Standards Board adopted 14 accounting rules according to international standards until 2016; but that was not enough to keep pace with global developments. In 2017, the board made a bold decision to adopt all international accounting standards, with the aim of enhancing financial transparency and attracting foreign investments, especially in the oil and banking sectors."

Nouri pointed out that "the committee tasked with preparing the new unified accounting system completed its work in 2019, and the implementation of international standards was announced in 2021, but the Corona pandemic postponed this implementation."
He stressed that "the year 2026 will witness the final implementation of these standards, which will make the Iraqi accounting environment consistent with the requirements of global financial markets."
“This step will encourage foreign companies to invest in Iraq and will provide transparent financial data that will help in making sound investment decisions,” Nouri concluded.

International accounting standards are a common language for companies around the world, making it easier for investors to understand companies’ financial statements and make informed investment decisions.
This step comes as part of Iraq’s efforts to enhance financial transparency and attract foreign investment, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the country.  LINK

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

TOP MUSK STAFFER TO INVESTIGATE IRS OPERATIONS: REPORT

Kliger, one of Musk's top employees, has been meeting with senior executives at the Internal Revenue Service, said sources.

Gavin Kliger, one of the top staffers working with Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the federal government, arrived at the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday to examine the agency's operations, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Kliger was meeting with senior executives at the tax-collecting agency, marking the first time that a member of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has shown up at its headquarters in Washington, the people told Reuters.

The development suggests that Musk, who President Donald Trump has tasked with cutting costs, waste and fraud across the federal government, is now scrutinizing the IRS as part of that effort, even as the ongoing tax season squeezes its resources.

Trump, when asked about the Reuters report, said DOGE was doing a great job and that no agency would escape Musk's gaze.

Separately, senior executives at the IRS were instructed on Thursday to identify all "non-essential" contracts for termination, according to an email seen by Reuters.

In the email, senior executives at the IRS were told that the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages most government contracts, is demanding they review consulting contracts under their purview and determine whether they can be justified.

The GSA deems a contract non-essential if it "merely generates a report, research, coaching, or an artifact," the email says.

"Consistent with the goals and directives of the Trump administration to eliminate waste, reduce spending, and increase efficiency, GSA has taken the first steps in a government-wide initiative to eliminate non-essential consulting contracts," the email says.

GLOBAL STABLECOIN USE SOARS — WILL TRUMP CRYPTO POLICY PROMPT US ADOPTION?

Stablecoin use continues to expand across the world, and White House crypto czar David Sacks says one of its first priorities is stablecoin legislation in the United States.

One of the top priorities for White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks is addressing the rise of stablecoin legislation in the United States. While stablecoins have gained significant traction internationally, particularly in emerging markets, their adoption in the US has remained limited.

The question remains: can stablecoins pose a threat to the US dollar, or are they simply a complementary feature that will reinforce the existing system?

On Feb. 4, a bipartisan group of US senators introduced legislation aimed at creating a stablecoin regulatory framework.

Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty emphasized that this bill would provide “a safe and pro-growth regulatory framework” to foster innovation and support President Donald Trump’s vision of making the US “the world capital of crypto.”

Adding weight to this momentum, Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller expressed his support for stablecoins on Feb. 6, suggesting they could enhance the US dollar's reserve status rather than compete with it. 

“I view stablecoins as a net addition to our payment system,” said Waller, who is chair of the Fed Board’s subcommittee on payments. However, he underscored that some “regulatory rails around it” were necessary to make sure that stablecoins are properly backed.

Momentum for stablecoins is building

All things considered, momentum appears to be building regarding the endorsement of stablecoins. Currently, the total stablecoin market cap is $233 billion, with 97% of the sector dominated by US-pegged stablecoins like Tether’s USDT, which alone makes up over 60% of the total stablecoin market capitalization, according to CoinGecko data.

Momentum is building toward widespread endorsement and regulation of these digital tokens, which constitute digital assets pegged to a fiat currency.

Bitcoin ATM CEO Brandon Mintz told Cointelegraph,

“With Trump’s recent executive order on digital financial technology, real discussions around stablecoin legislation, and the new crypto task force, we’re finally seeing signs of real momentum that could keep crypto innovation onshore.”

In his first address to the industry as White House crypto czar, Sacks suggested that stablecoin regulation would move forward soon. “Moving legislation through Congress takes time, but I think this is something we could do in the next six months,” he said in an interview with CNBC on Feb. 4.

“They are very committed to moving legislation through the House and the Senate this year in order to provide that clear regulatory framework that the digital assets ecosystem needs to sustain innovation in the United States.”

The international community warms up to stablecoins

While the international financial community has historically opposed the rise of crypto and stablecoins, often adopting an aggressive stance that industry leaders claim has hindered growth, the potential value of stablecoins has been recognized even by the most traditional financial institutions.

In October 2024, the International Monetary Fund released a report in which economists stated that digital innovations like stablecoins “hold the potential to disrupt the financial landscape” if they achieve widespread adoption.

The report pointed out that while privately issued crypto assets mainly function today as “speculative tools” with limited acceptance as payment instruments, stablecoins aim to offer a consistent value against other currencies, potentially making them “more viable for everyday transactions.”

Experts, however, believe that the US dollar’s dominance is not at risk from the rise of stablecoins. In fact, they argue that its supremacy in the global economy may be reinforced.

Economist Eswar Prasad, a professor at Cornell University and author of The Future of Money, told Cointelegraph that stablecoins and central bank digital currencies could serve as complementary payment tools rather than substitutes.

“The official approval for and regulation of stablecoins denominated in US dollars will provide an indirect boost to the dollar’s already dominant role as a payment currency for international transactions.”

US lawmakers backing the bill argue that dollar-denominated stablecoins could improve transaction efficiency, expand financial inclusion, and strengthen the dollar’s supremacy as the world reserve currency by driving demand for US Treasurys.

According to the lawmakers, “The previous administration’s hostility toward crypto and refusal to provide clear regulatory guidelines has severely stifled stablecoin innovation.”

Conversation with Dr. Ron Paul

Gold Telegraph:  2-12-2025

“I think the country would thrive tremendously if we see it in moral terms and don’t have some Federal Reserve being the chief counterfeiter. It’s fraud.” – @RonPaul

Three-time U.S. presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul joins me for a powerful discussion on the Federal Reserve, fiat money, government waste, and key moments from his career.

A former U.S. Congressman and physician, Paul has been a relentless advocate for limited government, free markets, and sound money.

Serving Texas for decades, he became one of the loudest critics of the Federal Reserve, pushing for monetary reform, a gold standard, and fiscal responsibility.

In our conversation, Dr. Paul reflects on the growing awareness of monetary policy and government corruption—a fight he’s led for years.

We begin with Elon Musk call for him to investigate the Federal Reserve, a move Dr. Paul doubts will happen but sees as a sign that the debate is shifting.

He emphasizes that the real battle is ideological, as the current monetary system is crumbling under debt, inflation, and authoritarianism.

Dr. Paul revisits his push to audit the Fed and America’s gold reserves, recalling repeated efforts to block transparency.

While he believes the gold is still there, questions remain over ownership and manipulation.

He also highlights the Fed’s secrecy in international finance, warning that the system thrives on deception and interventionism.

We explore many more themes in this fascinating discussion.

Thank you, Dr. Paul, for joining me.

I hope you all enjoy.

TIMESTAMPS:

(0:32) – Will Dr. Paul accept Elon Musk’s endorsement to investigate the Federal Reserve?

(4:17) – Where would Dr. Paul begin if he investigated the Federal Reserve?

(5:34) – Does the United States still have all its gold reserves?

(7:53) – Is the US dollar near a breaking point?

(25:24) – If @elonmusk personally asks, will Dr. Paul investigate the Federal Reserve?

Walkingstick  [Contractor friend in Iraq update] IRAQI CONTRACTOR:  I've been in all the executive branch meetings with the CBI.  Right now the CBI is redoing my contract.  In fact, they're redoing all contracts in Iraq because there will be a rate change soon.  Also the CBI and the GOI speaking.  I heard them at this meeting bring...up that the CBI and GOI will now release the articles on the lower notes - the pictures... descriptions for the citizens to see... They used to pay us in American dollars...now all contracts are being paid only in dinars...To me the only important thing is my contact.  That comes first.  I don't care about their currency. I don't care about what they're doing with the purchasing power...As long as the IQD value they come out with...matches the contract value they gave me in American dollars when they first wrote it to me...that's all I care about...I don't care about buying any stupid dinars.  My profit is from investing in Iraq and there are no restrictions.   The sky is the limit.

Coffee with MarkZ and Andy Schectman. 02/13/2025

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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 to all ..it is so good to be here and another great day to be alive..

Member: Hearing g good things!! let's go!

Member: Any news on CMKX and Prosperity Packages? Hearing that there is now liquidity to let them go??

Member: I am hearing things are flowing !! Not our 4B yet. but the people who need to go before us . !!

MZ: We are hearing those same rumors. I was saying last night that we are such a tight knit community….if someone is paid …we would all know it . I have not been able to confirm from anybody that they are receiving dollars….yet.

MZ: We are hearing from those claiming they are connected with trustees that say they are absolutely receiving money …its put into place….they have updates and should be distributing soon.

MZ: When it is time …I will scream like a stuck pig. I have many contacts in Omega Freedom and Heritage PP’s.  Plus I know two of the original farm claim holders and others…..so I will know when it happens.

Member: I hope your gut is feeling excited …mine certainly is…could it be this week?

MZ: I don’t think it’s this week although we have seen a lot of progress. I do believe money is in place and ready to go. I believe we are very much in the process. My guess is next week

Member: Maybe this Saturday night when banks worldwide are all closed?

MZ: I find things are pretty interesting on who is where….Right now we are being told Sudani is in Prague, one of his top deputies is at the US in NewYork…..Pres. Trumo is now sitting down with India’s Modi …so let’s think BRICS…let’s think World court…..Let’s think UN for monetary values change…..We are talking World court, UN, and pretty much everybody is where they should be to make something move. I enjoy watching geopolitical moves right now.

MZ: Plus a Putin/Trump meeting is on the way.

Member: MM must listen to from last night! This are happening!!

Member: "Parliamentary Finance Committee expects to send budget tables next week", (Delayed by amendments)

MZ:I keep hearing they will be presented on Sunday.

MZ: “The Presidency of the Republic approves the controversial laws”  These are finally finished and done. ….Lets move forward now with financial reforms .

MZ: “Rasheed’s Bank capital jumps from 2 Billion to 50. What are the compelling reasons?” The bank has shown it can be trusted and citizens are depositing.

MZ: They are telling us in many different articles they are now moving to the third and final part of their reforms. The third phase includes lifting the purchasing power of all Iraqi’s…Sudani has said they are going to restore the dinar to its former glory as the most valuable currency in the world. . .

Member: Dear God let the RV be in this third phase.

MZ: “Iraq is financially stable and does not need aid”  They are telling us they do not suffer from a deficit.  They are saying they are the ones to help other countries now. Dr. Shabibi (former Gov. of the CBI) always said if they give him safe and stable …he would release the new rate of the dinar.

MZ: “Bank of Scotland is set to close more than 20 branches”  With a new banking system we won’t need as many branches. We will see a lot of bank closures throughout this process.

Member: Will there be a second basket of currencies?

MZ: From what we are seeing right now….there may be a second basket of currencies….Those that don’t make it into the first basket. Like the Iranian and Afghanistan currency. What I am closely watching for the second basket are the Central African currencies.  These are some of the richest mineral countries in the world. I also like Mongolia.

Member: possible first basket currencies..1. US 2. UK 3. Kuwait 4. Canada 5. Mexico 6. Russia 7. China 8. Venezuela 9. Iranian Rial possibly 10. IRAQ 11. Indonesia Rupiah 12. Malaysia 13. Vietnamese 14. Brazil 15. Saudi Arabia 16. Qatar 17. United Arab Emirates 18. Turkey 19. Afghanistan possibly 20. India 21. Libya 22. Japan23. Zimbabwe

Member: Are we exchange or redeeming, so which is it exchange" means trading one asset for another on a market, while "redemption" refers to selling an asset back to the issuer, usually for cash,

Member: I always heard we exchange currency and redeem bonds?

Member: personally....looking like March for RV , when ISO 2022 Banking changes are having to be implemented.

Member: What are the chances the RV will go before America is Gold backed?

Member: I think they may have to finish auditing the UST, The Fed Reserve and Fort Knox before we get the gold backed USN currency.

Member: Elon Musk endorses Ron Paul leading investigation into the Federal Reserve.

Member: Trump spoke on auditing fort knox by D.O.G.E.

Member: Treasury site has 3000 pages available to dig through “Office of Foreign Assets Control “ specially designated nationals and blocked persons list. Eye opening!

Member: They need to revalue the gold reserves in order to go gold back currency-imo

Member: Maybe Iraq will go first and then the reset happens when we go gold backed????

MZ: “Massive amounts of physical gold moved from London to COMEX”  gold and silver are flooding into US warehouses…..This is exciting. In the article is states the US may be planning to revalue its Gold reserves….which is presently valued at $42 an ounce. Andy has some bombshells on metals to drop when he joins us this morning.

Member: Dang…Gold on the markets is close to $3,000 an ounce!!

MZ: By doing some quick math- by revaluing our gold reserves that would drop our national debt deficit down to about $500 billion dollars. In other words we could have a balanced budget by revaluing gold to its market value. This is based on real market metals in today’s market….This is sound economics and common sense

MZ: We first saw them float this idea in House resolution  bill 2025. (Or something like that) (from Wyo Senator Cynthia Loomis.?) This is playing out…we are watching it …I think we are about to see it.

Member: IMO- That would basically be our new gold backing for our currency….woohoo

Member: This weekend is a 3 day weekend for Presidents Day on Jan 17th

Member: World Fair starts Memorial Day this year, ends July 4, 2026

Member: Chinese New Year and Ramadan are both coming up soon.

Member: this feels like we are at the end of the race. we are just stretching the ticker tape and just waiting for it to break! this is rough!

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods…..everyone enjoy your day.
