He recounted that on the first day, he saw no progress, and the second day was the same. However, by the third day, some of the swelling had subsided, allowing him to see a bit out of his left eye, and his arm had healed enough for him to make a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still experiences some challenges with urination.
Mot: ....... An elderly priest, with a twinkle in his eye
An elderly priest, with a twinkle in his eye, turned to the younger priest and said,
“You had a brilliant idea replacing the first four pews with plush bucket theater seats. It’s incredible how the front of the church fills up first now.”
The younger priest smiled and nodded as the older priest continued.
“And when you suggested adding a little more rhythm to the music, I’ll admit I was hesitant. But bringing in that Rock ‘n Roll Gospel Choir has been a game-changer. Now, our services are packed all the way to the balcony!”
“Thank you, Father,” the younger priest replied humbly.
“I admire your openness to the fresh ideas of youth,” the older priest said warmly. “Most of your ideas have been wonderful.”
The younger priest sensed a “but” coming, and sure enough, the elder priest added, “However, I think you’ve gone too far with the Drive-thru Confessional.”
“But, Father!” the young priest protested, “Confessions have doubled, and donations are pouring in since I introduced it!”
The elder priest nodded thoughtfully. “Yes, I noticed. And I do appreciate your efforts. But the flashing neon sign on the church roof that says, *‘Toot ‘n Tell’ or ‘Go to Hell’*... well, that simply has to go.”

The bride kissed her father on the cheek and discreetly placed something in his hand.
Curiosity rippled through the room as everyone wondered what the bride had just given her father.
Feeling the suspense, the father decided to address the room. Clearing his throat, he said with a big smile:
“Ladies and gentlemen, today is the luckiest day of my life!”
He then dramatically raised his hand, revealing what his daughter had handed him.
“My daughter has finally returned my credit card!”
The room erupted in laughter, the joyous moment spreading like wildfire.
Well, everyone laughed—except one person.
The groom sat quietly, his face a mixture of realization and dread.

WHITE HOUSE CRYPTO CZAR CONFIRMS US TO ESTABLISH RESERVE WITH BITCOIN AND OTHER TOP CRYPTOCURRENCIES
White House Crypto Czar David Sacks has endorsed President Donald Trump’s U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve, highlighting its inclusion of bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies to position the U.S. as a global leader.
Trump’s US Crypto Strategic Reserve Sparks Industry Buzz
David Sacks, the White House AI and crypto czar, has expressed support for President Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. crypto strategic reserve. In a post on social media platform X, Sacks stated:
"President Trump has announced a Crypto Strategic Reserve consisting of bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies. This is consistent with his week-one E.O. 14178. President Trump is keeping his promise to make the U.S. the ‘Crypto Capital of the World.’ More to come at the Summit."
On March 2, President Trump outlined the composition and goals of a proposed U.S. crypto reserve on Truth Social. He claimed the initiative would revitalize the cryptocurrency sector, which he said was harmed under the Biden administration.
Trump stated that his executive order on digital assets directed the Presidential Working Group to develop a Crypto Strategic Reserve, including XRP, SOL, and ADA, aiming to position the U.S. as a global leader in crypto.
In a follow-up post, he confirmed that BTC and ETH would be central to the reserve, expressing support for bitcoin and ethereum. His statements indicate a push to integrate major cryptocurrencies into national financial policy.
Historically, President Trump’s stance on cryptocurrencies has evolved. Initially skeptical, he has recently adopted a more supportive position, aligning with his promise to establish the U.S. as a hub for cryptocurrency innovation. The issuance of Executive Order 14178 reflects this commitment, directing federal agencies to develop frameworks that support digital asset integration and regulation.
Sacks also announced on Feb. 28 plans for a significant industry event, stating on X: “President Trump will host the first White House Crypto Summit on Friday, March 7. Attendees will include prominent founders, CEOs, and investors from the crypto industry. Look forward to seeing everyone there!”
The summit is expected to facilitate dialogue between the administration and key stakeholders, further solidifying the U.S.’s leadership role in the global cryptocurrency landscape.

INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE CRYPTO SUMMIT: TRUMP TO LEAD TALKS WITH 25 KEY GUESTS
This Friday, March 7th, marks the first-ever White House Crypto Summit, a key event that aims to shape the future of cryptocurrency policy in the U.S. According to Fox Business, the summit is part of a series designed to replace the previously proposed Crypto Advisory Council, giving the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets a chance to collaborate directly with the crypto industry on key issues.
“The White House announced today that President Trump will host and deliver remarks at the first ever White House Crypto Summit on Friday, March 7. Attendees will include prominent founders, CEOs, and investors from the crypto industry, as well as members of the President’s Working Group on Digital Assets,” the press release stated.
Around 25 invitees are expected to attend the summit, though the guest list is still under wraps. It’s anticipated that more details on who will be present will be released soon.
Some important figures, like David Sacks (the White House’s crypto czar) and Bo Hines, are expected to be involved, which signals a positive direction for crypto legislation and future policy clarity.
The shift from a formal advisory council to these summits suggests a more flexible approach to policymaking, allowing for direct engagement with industry leaders. This is seen as a step in the right direction for crypto, offering a clearer path forward and showcasing the government’s growing support for the industry.
The White House crypto summit is expected to spark important discussions that could influence future legislation and solidify the role of crypto in the U.S. economy. As crypto continues to gain mainstream acceptance, this summit is a strong signal that the government is committed to ensuring its place in the financial landscape.

DE-DOLLARIZATION: GLOBAL BANK PREDICTS FUTURE OF THE US DOLLAR
Despite de-dollarization, the US dollar rebounded in price as the DXY index, which measures its performance climbed above the 107 mark. The DXY index is now trading at the 107.40 level after surging 0.15% on Friday. The US treasury yields rose this month making the greenback strengthen in the charts. The move pushed gold prices below the $2,900 range making the XAU/USD index trade at $2,860 on Friday’s opening bell.
Leading investment bank Goldman Sachs predicted the future of the US dollar as de-dollarization looms. The global bank weighed the pros and cons of the currency markets and wrote in the latest note to stakeholders that the greenback will make a comeback.
Goldman Sachs Predicts the Future of the US Dollar Amid De-Dollarization
Global investment bank Goldman Sachs wrote in a note that the US dollar could get a boost despite de-dollarization as Trump’s tariffs could uplift the greenback. Goldman Sachs strategists Karen Reichgott Fishman and Lexi Kanter wrote that the US dollar looks attractive due to the tariffs.
Trump has vowed to protect the US dollar amid the onslaught of the de-dollarization agenda kick-started by developing nations. “Ultimately, not all tariffs are equal when it comes to FX,” the strategists wrote in a note. “But given the unwind of premium in key crosses in recent weeks, we once again think tariff risks look underpriced, making long dollar exposure now look even more attractive.”
Therefore, currency investors can take long positions in the US dollar now as its prospects look “more attractive”. Local currencies are under pressure due to tariffs and the USD is coming out on top. The Indian rupee has fallen to a lifetime low while the Chinese yuan and the Japanese yen have dipped to yearly lows. The development indicates that tariffs are working against de-dollarization and placing the US dollar on top.

Liquidity Release is done in a certain order. The Elders, German Bonds and select Yellow Dragon Bonds must be paid first.
A. Dubai 1 released for liquidity which then triggers Dubai 2&3.
B. Fines & Penalties are released to recipients (they need D1 liquid, this is their hold up)
C. Bonds will be liquid (they need D1 to be liquid)
D. Tiers 1-4b are notified. (they need D1 to be liquid) It appears all is set to go on or about the same time!
Tier 1 Sovereign Nation Debt of Governments: Chinese Royals, Bond Holders, Paymasters, Church Groups, CMKX, F&P, Adjudicated Settlements, Ranch and Farm Claims and other groups.
Tier 2 Royals, Elders, Whales, Military Generals and some political type Elites with platforms of currency, corporations, etc.
Tier 3 Admirals Group, American Indians, CMKX, large church groups like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints..
Tier 3 was all Dubai 2 Trust Money and originally was the Generals and public. Now Tier 3 includes groups with projects including the Admiral..
Tier 4B, (us, the Internet Group) is the largest group and composed of the general public who paid attention to the intel – the people who have bought currency and/or bonds and kept up with the reset by way of information on the Internet.
Tier 5 The general public who never paid attention to the Intel.
The official GO for Tier 4b has not been released yet. It can happen any moment. As all Tier1-4b are funded, we await the final release to reach to our level.
It’s a process. It’s tedious and time consuming – making adjustments as needed along the way for accuracy and safety of all involved. It’s a very quiet & discrete operation, where the general public is left uninformed for obvious reasons. Pay attention to the levels that are ahead of us. That will help give a better understanding of where we are, in relation to it reaching the 4b level. BUT, it is unfolding. And when it reaches our levels, there will be no doubts. It’s coming! Keep the faith.

Ariel Thoughts on the RV
IMO: it's almost like I have been telling people that the revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar is for the 'New Republic' that basically starts on March 4th with an address from the president on that day with Kurdistan & Baghdad signing remaining paperwork and resuming oil exports through SOMO.
Why out of all these years you have been waiting that they decided to have this meeting on the exact day of the original inauguration day? Why do you think Donald Trump is closing 100s of IRS offices? Because he doesn't want your capital gains going towards an agency that will not exist after 2025. I told you all and I will say it again D. Trump is going to put his foot down on March 4th.
After that day you might as well prepare for the fallout. Because it's going to come fast. Corruption will be boxed in and have no choice but to show itself for the beast it is. And as I explained once the IQD reinstatement occurs Israel will become a shell of its former self. Peace in the Middle East will expose the domestic terrorist in our media, government, and banking industry.
Regarding the rate change. Will it be immediate? Unlikely. The CBI would need time to evaluate oil revenue projections and consult with the government, which has previously locked rates for multi-year periods (e.g., until 2025 per a 2021 parliamentary statement).
A decision might take days to weeks, with an announcement possibly delayed to mid-March or later to ensure data alignment. That said, if political momentum from the meeting is strong and Trump’s rhetoric signals U.S. support Iraq could expedite the process, perhaps signaling intent within days (e.g., March 5-7) and formalizing it later.
In short, I’d expect a new exchange rate release to follow days to a couple of weeks after March 4, not immediately, as Iraq balances oil-driven economic gains with currency stability needs. Keep an eye on CBI statements and parallel market trends post-meeting for clues. What are your thoughts on how these pieces might fit together?
I just love that it will be on or after March 4th because we will get to keep our money. Because once they resume there is no going back after that. And we will have our ROI.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Late Saturday Evening 2-28-25
In A Graphical Analysis.. The Months With The Most And Least Impact On The Fluctuations Of The Dollar Against The Dinar Since 2005
Time: 2025/02/28 12:20:11 Read: 2,235 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi stated that the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market has witnessed noticeable fluctuations over the course of twenty-one years, as a result of being affected by political, legislative and economic factors, with supply and demand dominating as the most influential factors.
Al-Obaidi explained in a statement received by {Euphrates News} a copy of it, after analyzing the exchange rate data from 2005 to 2024, that there is a recurring pattern that reflects the dinar’s value being affected by specific months more than others.
In A Graphical Analysis.. The Months With The Most And Least Impact On The Fluctuations Of The Dollar Against The Dinar Since 2005
Time: 2025/02/28 12:20:11 Read: 2,235 times {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi stated that the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market has witnessed noticeable fluctuations over the course of twenty-one years, as a result of being affected by political, legislative and economic factors, with supply and demand dominating as the most influential factors.
Al-Obaidi explained in a statement received by {Euphrates News} a copy of it, after analyzing the exchange rate data from 2005 to 2024, that there is a recurring pattern that reflects the dinar’s value being affected by specific months more than others.
He pointed out that December was the month with the most frequent increase in the value of the dinar, as it witnessed a decline in the exchange rate against the dollar in thirteen years out of twenty-one.
He added, “It is followed by August and June with increases in the value of the dinar against the dollar in eleven years, then April with ten times, while October and November witnessed an increase nine times, and March eight times.”
Al-Obaidi continued, “As for May, it was the month with the least frequent decrease in the value of the dinar, as its value rose during it only four times throughout the period studied, which gives the impression of a relationship between the seasonality of demand and the exchange rate, as the value of the dinar usually rises in the months of February, March and April, then declines again in May with the return of strong demand.”
The economic expert noted that "despite this clear seasonal effect, there are other factors that cannot be ignored, such as the levels of dollar sales by the Central Bank of Iraq, which directly affect the size of the money supply in the market, in addition to the timing of the general budget launch and geopolitical factors that may cause sudden disturbances in the demand for foreign currency."
He pointed out that the seasons of the year remain one of the main elements in determining the exchange rate trends in Iraq, as a recurring pattern appears at the end of the year and the beginning of the fiscal year, in addition to the market being affected by official holidays in countries exporting goods to Iraq.
However, monetary policies and political and economic developments continue to have a direct impact on the parallel market, making it necessary to monitor all these variables to understand exchange rate changes more accurately." LINK

IRAQ’S CENTRAL BANK TO CREATE ITS OWN DIGITAL CURRENCY
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Ali Al-Alaq, revealed on Wednesday that the bank is planning to create a digital currency to replace paper notes in transactions with central banks.
During his speech in the 9th edition of the Iraq Finance Expo, Al-Alaq said that fundamental changes will take place in the banking and financial systems, including the limited use of paper notes as they will be replaced by digital currencies in transactions between central banks.
Iraq is seriously examining establishing a data center, according to Al-Alaq, and the CBI has started working on this project as part of the digital transformation process.
Al-Alaq also indicated that Iraq’s financial inclusion rate increased to over 40 percent compared to 20 percent three years ago due to the CBI’s promotion of mobile phone-based electronic wallets that enable bill payment and money transfer.
Over 4,000 ATMs have been installed, and there are roughly 17 million bank cards in use, according to Al-Alaq, and there are now 1.2 million electronic wallets in Iraq.
Iraq’s electronic payment system has been connected to global payment networks, allowing Iraqi bank cards to be used abroad and bank cards issued by foreign banks to be accepted locally.

BRICS EXTENDS FRIENDLY TIES WITH EUROPE AS US TARIFFS HIT
Europe is extending friendly ties with the BRICS alliance as Trump’s tariffs hit the market in February. Several European leaders have expressed displeasure at Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on close Western allies. BRICS member China is making use of the escalating tensions between the US and Europe and extending cordial relations.
Some countries in Europe are reconsidering their relations with BRICS member China, while others are aiming to diversify their partnerships with Japan and South Korea. Many other European nations are reaching out to India to procure goods. The widening rift between the US and Europe stems out of tariffs and its stance in the Ukraine war.
US Tariffs: Will Europe Get Friendly With BRICS?
However, the European Union faces a mixed approach with BRICS member China as some advocate for partnerships while others take a cautious stance. However, China is making use of the situation and pushing cordial ties with Europe as US tariffs hit the market.
“Europe must take its own decisions, on its own. And we have to decide when China can be a partner and when China is a competitor,” said Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares. Germany’s chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz said that Trump “does not care much about the fate of Europe”. This gives BRICS a chance to build bridges with Europe as the US is looking to burn it.
“My absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA,” said Merz. If Europe extends ties with BRICS countries, the US will remain isolated, and other countries scheme for its downfall.
While Europe is grappling with a realignment, maintaining cordial relations with BRICS member China is not a friendly option. The Communist country aims to dominate the global financial sector and keep the West in the backseat. The US needs to maintain its relations with Europe and not let things fall apart.

Tishwash: The Federal Finance will begin funding February salaries for the region’s employees within two days
An informed source revealed, today, Sunday (March 2, 2025), that the Federal Ministry of Finance will begin financing the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees within the next two days.
The source told Baghdad Today, "The lists sent by the regional government have been audited, and the financing of employees' salaries in Kurdistan will begin within the next two days, after all the problems."
He added, "The Federal Ministry of Finance will send 950 billion dinars to finance February salaries, after which the regional government will announce a schedule for disbursing salaries."
Yesterday, Saturday (March 1, 2025), a responsible Kurdish source stated that the Ministry of Finance will send February salaries to the region’s employees in the middle of next week, confirming that there is a problem with the agreement between the region and the center.

The digital currency to be launched in Iraq.. between economic opportunities and potential risks
2/26/2025 Baghdad
Today, Wednesday (February 26, 2025), the expert in international economic affairs, Nawar Al-Saadi, revealed the importance of the Central Bank of Iraq launching its own digital currency.
Al-Saadi told Baghdad Today, “From an economic standpoint, this step has great benefits, but at the same time it involves challenges and risks that must be dealt with carefully.”
He explained that “the importance of this step lies in several aspects, most notably that it provides a more efficient and transparent means of electronic payment, which reduces reliance on paper money and limits the informal economy,” adding: “It also contributes to enhancing financial inclusion by facilitating digital transactions, especially in a country like Iraq where a large percentage of the population is still outside the formal banking system.”
He added, "The central bank's digital currency could help reduce the costs of printing and managing paper currency, and improve control over cash flows, which would help combat corruption and money laundering."
“However, this step is not without risks, especially in light of the challenges facing the Iraqi financial system,” he added, indicating that “the most prominent concerns are the possibility of using digital currency in smuggling operations, especially if there are no strict mechanisms to monitor digital transactions. Iraq already suffers from challenges in controlling money transfers through informal channels, and any weakness in managing digital currency could lead to its exploitation by illegal networks.”
Al-Saadi also warned that “there are risks related to monetary stability, as the rapid transition to digital currency may lead to pressures on the traditional banking system, especially if banks are not technically and practically prepared for this change.” Moreover, any security or technical flaw in the digital infrastructure may make the financial system more vulnerable to cyber attacks or hacking.”
The international economic affairs expert pointed out that “in order to ensure the success of this step, it is necessary for the Central Bank to follow a well-thought-out policy to implement it gradually, with a clear legal framework to regulate the use of digital currency,” stressing “the need to strengthen the digital banking infrastructure and ensure the readiness of the financial system to accommodate this transformation without affecting economic stability.” If this policy is implemented with caution and transparency, the Central Bank’s digital currency can be an effective tool to strengthen the Iraqi economy and push it towards more modernity and financial openness.”
Earlier on Wednesday, the Central Bank Governor, Ali Al-Alaq, revealed the intention to create a digital banking currency to replace paper currencies.
Al-Alaq said, in a speech during the Ninth Finance and Banking Services Conference and Exhibition, which was followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the financial and banking system will witness fundamental transformations, including the decline of paper currencies to be replaced by digital payments for central banks.”
He added that "the Central Bank is moving to create its own digital currency, to gradually replace the paper process as is happening in some central banks in the world," indicating that "we are seriously considering establishing a data center in Iraq, and the bank has begun to move on this issue as part of the digital transformation steps."

After calling for cutting funding to Baghdad, US representative: Let's make Iraq great again
2/28/2025
US Republican Representative Joe Wilson called for "making Iraq great again" and stopping Iran's control over it, after his previous calls to stop funding Iraq, according to the American Fox News channel.
The American report, which was translated by Shafaq News Agency, explained that Wilson, who is also a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the US House of Representatives, published a tweet on the "X" platform, in which he said, "Make Iraq great again," accompanied by a picture of the Iraqi flag.
The report noted that many people commented on Representative Wilson's tweet, including one who wrote to him saying, "America first? " , while another commented saying, "Forget Iraq and worry about the Americans."
The report indicated that "Representative Wilson spoke publicly on social media about various foreign countries, including Iraq and Iran, where he criticized Tehran's control over Baghdad, and repeatedly used the phrase "liberate Iraq from Iran."
The report quoted Wilson as saying in previous positions, "Iran runs the Iraqi government, as well as the army, judiciary, police and banks."
In a previous post, Wilson said that “the great people of Iraq, of all religions and ethnicities, are the heirs of a great civilization, and deserve better than to be ruled by a terrorist regime in Iran,” criticizing the former Joe Biden administration’s abandonment of the non-sectarian protest movement in Iraq, adding that “we must empower the Iraqi people to make Iraq great again and liberate Iraq from Iran.”
The report also mentioned Wilson's previous publications, in which he called for "stopping funding for Iraq" and "cutting off all aid to Iraq as long as Iran runs it." LINK

The "Iraq Al-Mustaqbal" Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultations attributed, on Friday, the reasons for the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market over more than two decades in the country to internal and external factors.
This came according to an analysis issued by the institution, in which it explained these fluctuations from 2005 until 2024.
The institution stated in its analysis that "the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market witnessed noticeable fluctuations over the course of 21 years, as it was affected by a group of factors ranging from political, legislative and economic."
The analysis added that "supply and demand were the most influential, as the patterns of exchange rate changes differed according to the months of the year as a result of internal and external factors, such as the timing of the launch of the general budget and official holidays in major countries exporting goods to Iraq, such as China and Iran."
He pointed out that "by analyzing the exchange rate data in the parallel market from 2005 to 2024, there appears to be a recurring pattern that reflects the dinar's value being affected by specific months more than others."
According to the institution, “December was the month with the most frequent increase in the value of the dinar, as it witnessed a decline in 13 years out of 21 years, followed by: August and June with increases in the value of the dinar against the dollar in 11 years, then April 10 times, while October and November witnessed an increase 9 times, and March 8 times.”
May was the month with the least frequent decline in the value of the dinar, as its value rose only 4 times during the period studied, which gives a semi-impression that the prices of the dinar against the dollar rise in the months of February, March and April, then decline again against the dollar in May as a result of the strong return of demand in May.
The institution warned in its analysis that "despite this clear seasonal impact on the exchange rate, there are other factors that cannot be ignored, such as the levels of dollar sales by the Central Bank of Iraq, which directly affect the size of the money supply in the market, as well as political and financial factors such as the timing of the release of general budget funds, in addition to geopolitical situations that may cause sudden disturbances in the demand for foreign currency."
The analysis concluded that “the seasonal effect remains one of the main elements in determining the exchange rate trends in Iraq, as a recurring pattern appears at the end of the year and the beginning of the fiscal year, in addition to being affected by official holiday periods in countries exporting goods to Iraq. However, other factors, such as monetary policies and political and economic developments, remain a direct influence on the parallel market, which makes it necessary to monitor all these variables to understand exchange rate changes more accurately.” LINK

"From Safe Internet to Smart Systems" Iraq Enters the Digital Revolution Era with Steady Steps
2/28/2025
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that Iraq is moving steadily towards achieving a major digital renaissance, based on a set of foundations that support this trend.
Saleh explained to {Euphrates News} agency, "The most prominent of these foundations is the progress achieved in two types of infrastructure."
He explained that "the first category is represented by the advanced technological infrastructure, whether through secure and strong internet networks or digital payment systems that work effectively and efficiently in parallel with each other."
Saleh continued, "As for the other category, it is the advanced legal infrastructure that provides protection for the rights of users, operators, and the public right against electronic and financial crimes arising from the digital transformation."
He pointed out "the importance of having the ability to keep pace with the developments of digital technology in the virtual world on an ongoing basis," indicating that "the advisory team in the General Secretariat and all relevant Iraqi state institutions are keen to achieve this to ensure that Iraq enters the new digital age."

'IOCs Demand Written Agreements, Payment Surety', APIKUR Spokesperson
3/1/2025 ERBIL –
As discussions continue over the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, Colonel Myles B. Caggins III, spokesperson for the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR), has emphasized the necessity of formal agreements before any further steps are taken.
Speaking exclusively to Kurdistan 24, Caggins laid out APIKUR’s conditions, stressing that without clear, binding agreements, international oil companies (IOCs) will not proceed with production and exports.
APIKUR’s Stance on Oil Exports
Caggins explained that APIKUR, which represents eight companies operating in the Kurdistan Region, collectively produces over 60% of the region’s oil.
He clarified that while APIKUR welcomes the Iraqi Oil Minister’s statement regarding the resumption of oil exports, the reality is that no formal agreements are currently in place. According to him, the lack of written contracts is a fundamental obstacle preventing exports from moving forward.
“We need agreements in writing. These are called sales agreements and lifting agreements. Our companies need to know that when they produce oil, they will get payment and the path for payment,” Caggins stated.
He emphasized that across the global oil industry, including in federal Iraq, such agreements are standard practice, ensuring both producers and buyers have a clear understanding of their obligations. Without these legal documents, APIKUR companies remain hesitant to restart production.
Caggins illustrated the issue with a simple analogy: “I was at a restaurant in Zakho a couple of days ago, and I had breakfast. The restaurant owner understood that if he gave me chai, I was going to pay him in Iraqi dinar. It’s the same concept. If our companies are producing oil, they need to know how and when they will get paid.”
Aligning Payments with the Iraqi Budget Law
Another major concern raised by APIKUR is ensuring that payments to oil companies align with the Iraqi Budget Law.
Under the current arrangement, the Iraqi central government provides payments to the KRG based on total oil production in the Kurdistan Region. These funds are then allocated among oil companies based on production volumes.
Caggins highlighted the importance of ensuring that APIKUR companies receive payments consistent with their contracts with the KRG and in accordance with Iraq’s budget law.
He further stressed that the Iraqi Prime Minister has publicly expressed the need to resume oil exports for the benefit of all Iraqis.
The U.S. government, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has also voiced support for the continuation of Kurdistan’s oil exports, recognizing the economic benefits it brings to Iraq as a whole.
Caggins emphasized that honoring contracts with oil companies would enhance Iraq’s attractiveness to foreign investors across multiple industries.
Addressing Outstanding Payments and Future Export Volumes
Before resuming exports, APIKUR insists that there must be a structured plan to address outstanding payments. Caggins revealed that international oil companies operating in Kurdistan were not paid for the oil they produced between October 2022 and March 2023, resulting in over one billion dollars in arrears.
He stressed that before production resumes, there must be a written plan outlining how these arrears will be repaid.
“We just need to know that there is a plan in writing for us to get the money. That plan needs to be written on paper and agreed to for how the companies will get repaid and when they will get repaid,” he said, acknowledging that different companies may have their own individual decisions to make but stressing the need for a clear financial roadmap.
Furthermore, APIKUR seeks assurances regarding future oil export volumes. Decisions about how much oil will be exported and at what rates must also be specified in formal agreements.
“You see, it all comes back to these written agreements,” Caggins reiterated. “We cannot do business based on press statements and tweets. We need agreements on paper.”
As Baghdad and Erbil continue negotiations on the future of Kurdistan’s oil sector, APIKUR remains firm in its position that transparency and contractual certainty are non-negotiable.
With ongoing discussions between the KRG, Baghdad, and international stakeholders, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether an agreement can be reached that satisfies all parties.
Caggins concluded by reaffirming APIKUR’s commitment to its investments in Kurdistan and willingness to cooperate in securing a sustainable future for oil production in the region.
However, he made it clear that without written agreements, the resumption of Kurdistan’s oil exports remains uncertain. LINK
Something Unprecedented is Happening with Gold—A Gold Monetary Reset is Happening Now
Something Unprecedented is Happening with Gold—A Gold Monetary Reset is Happening Now
Awake-In-3D February 28, 2025
Gold is reclaiming its role in the financial system, signaling a shift we haven’t seen in over five decades.
A Monetary Shift Unlike Any Other
For the first time since 1971, gold is no longer just a hedge against inflation—it is at the center of a financial shift that could redefine the global monetary system. The world has relied on a debt-driven economy for decades, but cracks are beginning to show. Now, a gold monetary reset is unfolding, and the implications could be historic.

Something Unprecedented is Happening with Gold—A Gold Monetary Reset is Happening Now
Awake-In-3D February 28, 2025
Gold is reclaiming its role in the financial system, signaling a shift we haven’t seen in over five decades.
A Monetary Shift Unlike Any Other
For the first time since 1971, gold is no longer just a hedge against inflation—it is at the center of a financial shift that could redefine the global monetary system. The world has relied on a debt-driven economy for decades, but cracks are beginning to show. Now, a gold monetary reset is unfolding, and the implications could be historic.
What’s driving this transformation, and what does it mean for the future of money? The answers lie in a series of economic and geopolitical moves that are reshaping the role of gold in ways we haven’t seen in over 50 years.
Text links highlighted in blue are informative things I read. You should too!
The 1971 Shock: The Last Time Gold Threatened the System
To understand why gold is now at the forefront of a potential monetary reset, we must look back to August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon suspended the dollar’s convertibility into gold.
Up until then, foreign governments could redeem U.S. dollars for gold at $35 per ounce.
But rising U.S. debt, inflation, and excessive money printing made this system unsustainable.
When France and other nations began demanding gold for their dollars, Nixon abruptly closed the gold window, effectively defaulting on the U.S.’s gold obligations.
Since that moment, the world has relied on a purely debt-based monetary system—one that has allowed governments to print unlimited money but is now reaching its breaking point.
The question is: What happens when the system can no longer sustain itself?
The Global Gold Puzzle: Why These Reserves Matter Now More Than Ever
For decades, the U.S. has claimed to hold 8,133 metric tons of gold—more than any other nation. Yet where this gold is actually stored is often overlooked:
Fort Knox: Allegedly holds 4,581 metric tons (~56% of total U.S. reserves). This is the site most people associate with U.S. gold holdings, but it has not undergone a full audit in over 40 years.
New York Federal Reserve: Stores roughly 6,190 metric tons of gold—more gold than Fort Knox—but most of this belongs to foreign governments, central banks, and international organizations rather than the U.S. Treasury.
Despite the New York Fed housing more gold than Fort Knox, its role in U.S. gold policy is rarely discussed. Some reports indicate that much of this gold is leased, swapped, or rehypothecated, meaning multiple parties hold claims on the same gold.
Why does this matter now? Because if the world begins to doubt the existence or accessibility of U.S. gold, confidence in the dollar’s credibility could erode rapidly—accelerating a shift away from the fiat-based system.
The Shocking Gold Disconnect: Markets Are Ignoring the Obvious
The financial world continues to ignore gold’s increasing significance. Consider this:
Central banks globally hold $3 trillion worth of gold, yet Microsoft alone has a market capitalization of $3 trillion.
The gold price (currently ranging between 42,850 and 42,950 per ounce over the past week) has failed to reflect its historical role in economic stability, despite rising debt and inflation.
The U.S. national debt now exceeds $36 trillion, making it mathematically impossible to repay without massive inflation or a currency reset.
This massive disconnect between gold and financial assets suggests that gold remains artificially suppressed—but history shows that suppression never lasts forever. When it breaks, it does so violently and suddenly.
The Acceleration Phase: Why This Gold Monetary Reset Will Be Unlike Any Other
For decades, gold has been dismissed as a relic of the past. But now, central banks are buying at record levels, signaling that something big is coming:
2022-2023: Central banks purchased more gold than at any time in history, even surpassing the Bretton Woods era.
The gold-silver ratio is 91:1, meaning silver is historically undervalued and could move 2-3 times faster than gold in an upcoming rally.
Interest rates are rising, making debt-based assets less attractive, while gold, which has no counterparty risk, is becoming more desirable.
Unlike previous gold bull markets, this one stems from structural cracks in the global financial system—not just investor speculation.
The Endgame: Is a Global Gold Monetary Reset Already Underway?
What if the real story isn’t about gold’s price, but rather its return to monetary dominance? There are growing signs that a new gold-backed system is being quietly prepared:
BRICS nations are increasing gold reserves, with China’s gold purchases accelerating significantly.
The IMF has hinted at a new global reserve currency based on a basket of assets and gold. The IMF currently holds over 2,800 metric tons of gold! Did you know that? I didn’t…
U.S. Treasury bonds are losing their global appeal, leading to speculation that a gold-backed alternative may emerge.
We may be witnessing the beginning of a financial transition where gold regains its place as a global standard.
The Gold Monetary Reset Reckoning Has Arrived
For the first time since 1971, gold is being forced back into the spotlight—not by choice, but by necessity. The world’s debt-driven system is crumbling under its own weight, and history suggests that when fiat money loses trust, gold becomes the default solution.
This isn’t just another gold rally. This is the beginning of a structural shift—a move toward a gold monetary reset where gold plays a defining role.
The question is no longer if gold will reassert itself, but when—and whether you’ll be prepared when it does.
