If tomorrow is “Liberation Day”, today is “Rational Day” [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) April 1, 2025

Tomorrow is being billed as Liberation Day— where tariffs will supposedly free America from those pesky, parasitic foreign markets. 

But what’s actually going to happen? 

This is the subject of today’s podcast. 

We discuss:

  • How odd it is that no Liberation Day details have leaked... which makes us wonder if there actually are any plans or details to leak.

  • If this administration truly believes tariffs are so obviously great for the economy, why would they wait until now instead of doing it day one, as they did with so many other executive actions?

  • What might actually unfold, and what it means for markets that are already jittery.

  • Questions any rational investor should ask themselves about their goals— for example, are you speculating on share price, or investing in a company’s long term prospects?

  • Will tariffs make successful companies immediately and permanently less valuable?

To answer these questions, we bring up examples of well managed, value companies we present to our investment research subscribers, particularly undervalued real asset businesses.

One example’s entire market valuation is less than the cash it has in the bank. Plus it’s profitable and pays a dividend.

Finally, we discuss:

  • The long shot scenario of what would need to occur for tariffs to actually work as intended.

  • The very plausible scenario that America could become a manufacturing powerhouse again—not thanks to tariffs, but technology.

  • The surprising company we identify which likely stands to gain the most from this AI/ automation/ robotics boom.

If tomorrow is “Liberation Day,” then today is the day to be rational.

I encourage you to give it a listen.   You can listen in here.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

MASTERCARD WORKING ON BLOCKCHAIN TO CONNECT TRADFI AND CRYPTO: REPORT

Mastercard is developing a blockchain-powered Multi-Token Network to connect traditional financial institutions with the digital asset space.

The initiative, led by Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard’s executive vice president of blockchain and digital assets, aims to provide a compliant, user-friendly experience for moving digital assets, similar to Venmo or Zelleaccording to Business Insider

Mastercard is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider in the growing blockchain ecosystem. By integrating its vast payment network with blockchain technology, the company seeks to enable seamless transactions between fiat and crypto markets.

Dhamodharan highlighted that financial institutions are increasingly interested in blockchain due to its potential to create new business models.

Mastercard partnerships

The network has already secured partnerships with JPMorgan and Standard Chartered, focusing on cross-border payments, tokenized deposits, and carbon credit transactions.

Mastercard has also introduced over 100 crypto-focused card programs worldwide, allowing its 3.5 billion cardholders to interact with digital assets.

Since 2015, Mastercard has filed over 250 blockchain-related patents and backed 43 startups in the sectorRecent collaborations include a November 2024 integration with JPMorgan to improve cross-border settlements and a February 2025 partnership with Ondo Finance to bring institutional financial assets on-chain.

Mastercard’s blockchain expansion comes as U.S. regulators provide more clarity on digital assets, encouraging traditional finance firms to engage with crypto. Dhamodharan believes the company is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum, leveraging its scale to drive broader blockchain adoption.

UK DIGITAL ASSET EXCHANGE ARCHAX EXPANDS TO US WITH ACQUISITION

UK digital asset exchange Archax has acquired Globacap Private Markets Inc. (Globacap PMI) a US regulated broker dealer and alternative trading system (ATS). It bought the US company from fellow British startup Globacap which provides workflow solutions for private markets and is also active in the digital assets sector.

"The acquisition of Globacap PMI in the US builds on the strong partnership we already have with them in the UK, and is a part of that global strategy," said Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax.

“In particular, we want to help support institutional market participants transition from traditional to digital assets and give them the regulated tools and services they need to do that. The US is an enormous and important global market – and with the recent change of government and new, clearer and more open regulated landscape, it is important for firms in our space to have a clear US strategy – and this transaction gives us just that.”

Archax has a multilateral trading facility (MTF) license in the UK and recently acquired a Spanish broker to give it a footprint in the EU. It trades both cryptocurrencies and tokenized securities, targeting institutions. It grabbed headlines when it revealed the big UK asset manager abrdn as an investor in 2022.

To date its tokenization efforts has especially focused on funds, but also bonds and carbon credits. In January it announced plans to tokenize existing equities and government debt so they are usable as DLT-based collateral.

Gold Reset On The Horizon | John Rubino

Gold Reset On The Horizon | John Rubino

Liberty and Finance:  3-31-2025

The global economic landscape is anything but tranquil, and in a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, financial expert John Rubino dissected the key factors driving market volatility, from soaring gold prices to the potential for a currency reset and the surprising movements in the silver market.

Rubino offered a stark yet insightful perspective on the interplay between central bank actions, geopolitical tensions, and the surge of retail investors influencing previously established market dynamics.

Gold Reset On The Horizon | John Rubino

Liberty and Finance:  3-31-2025

The global economic landscape is anything but tranquil, and in a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, financial expert John Rubino dissected the key factors driving market volatility, from soaring gold prices to the potential for a currency reset and the surprising movements in the silver market.

Rubino offered a stark yet insightful perspective on the interplay between central bank actions, geopolitical tensions, and the surge of retail investors influencing previously established market dynamics.

The surge in gold prices has been a major talking point, and Rubino points a finger directly at central banks as a primary driver. Their voracious appetite for gold, accumulating reserves at an unprecedented pace, is fundamentally altering the supply-demand equation.

This central bank accumulation, often driven by a desire to diversify away from the dollar and hedge against geopolitical risks, adds significant upward pressure on the precious metal. Rubino suggests this trend signifies a growing unease amongst global institutions about the stability of the current financial system, potentially foreshadowing a larger shift.

Beyond central bank buying, Rubino emphasizes the crucial role of geopolitical instability in fueling gold’s rise. From the ongoing conflict in Ukraine to rising tensions in the South China Sea, the global political landscape is fraught with uncertainty. This instability drives investors towards safe-haven assets like gold, further accelerating its upward trajectory.

Rubino doesn’t shy away from discussing the possibility of a currency reset, a scenario where the existing international monetary system undergoes a significant overhaul.

 He argues that the unsustainable levels of debt in many developed nations, coupled with geopolitical pressures, could force a realignment of global currencies. In such a scenario, gold would likely play a crucial role as a stabilizing force and a store of value.

The conversation also delves into the often-overlooked silver market, where retail investors have attempted to orchestrate a “squeeze,” aiming to drive up prices by overwhelming short sellers. While the initial attempts saw limited success, Rubino highlights the potential for retail investors to exert increasing influence on market dynamics, particularly in smaller, more volatile markets like silver.

This signals a democratization of investing, where ordinary individuals can collectively challenge established market participants.

Rubino is critical of government interventions in markets, arguing that they often create distortions and unintended consequences. He points to instances where governments have attempted to manipulate currency values or artificially suppress interest rates, arguing that these actions ultimately undermine market efficiency and create long-term instability.

He believes that allowing markets to operate freely, while potentially leading to short-term volatility, is essential for long-term economic health.

The discussion extends beyond the purely financial realm, exploring the evolving political landscape in Europe. Rubino notes the rise of populist movements across the continent, driven by concerns about immigration, economic inequality, and the perceived erosion of national sovereignty.

He suggests that these political shifts could have significant implications for European economies, potentially leading to increased fiscal spending and further instability within the Eurozone.

Finally, Rubino addresses the current state of the real estate market, warning of potential risks amidst rising interest rates and affordability challenges. He suggests that investors should exercise caution and carefully assess the fundamentals of individual markets before making investment decisions. While opportunities may exist, the overall outlook for the real estate market appears less favorable than in recent years.

John Rubino’s insights paint a picture of a global economy facing significant challenges. His analysis underscores the importance of understanding the interplay between central bank actions, geopolitical risks, and market dynamics.

Ultimately, he advocates for a prudent and prepared approach to investing, emphasizing the value of diversification, sound money principles, and a critical assessment of the information driving market narratives. In a world of increasing uncertainty, Rubino’s perspective offers a valuable framework for navigating the turbulent waters ahead.

Dr. Scott Young: Will the IRS Turn into the ERS on April 2?

Dr. Scott Young: Will the IRS Turn into the ERS on April 2?

For years, the idea of abolishing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was relegated to the fringes of political discourse. But recently, the idea has gained traction, even entering mainstream conversations. Dr. Scott Young, a voice advocating for the IRS’s elimination, has been discussing this possibility for half a decade.

Dr. Scott Young: Will the IRS Turn into the ERS on April 2?

3-31-2025

For years, the idea of abolishing the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was relegated to the fringes of political discourse. But recently, the idea has gained traction, even entering mainstream conversations. Dr. Scott Young, a voice advocating for the IRS’s elimination, has been discussing this possibility for half a decade.

Now, he’s witnessing a growing chorus of voices echoing his concerns. But what’s driving this surge in anti-IRS sentiment, and what are the arguments fueling the debate?

One central argument revolves around the constitutionality of the IRS and its interpretation of the 16th Amendment. This amendment, ratified in 1913, grants Congress the power to “lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

Critics argue that the IRS has overstepped its bounds in interpreting this amendment, leading to an intrusive and overly complicated tax system that exceeds the original intent.

The debate often centers on the terms “External Revenue Service” versus “Internal Revenue Service.” While the latter is the official name, some argue that the IRS’s reach extends beyond purely internal matters, impacting individuals’ economic freedoms and personal liberties in a way that aligns more closely with an “External” revenue agency. This distinction, though subtle, reflects a deeper concern about the agency’s power and scope.

Beyond constitutional and political arguments, some also bring a religious perspective to the debate. While a direct biblical mandate against taxation is difficult to find, proponents of abolishing the IRS often cite passages that emphasize personal responsibility, limited government, and the right to property.

They argue that the IRS’s extensive taxation practices conflict with these principles, hindering individuals’ ability to provide for their families and contribute to their communities.

However, it’s crucial to consider the counter-arguments as well. Proponents of the IRS argue that it is a necessary tool for funding essential government services, such as national defense, infrastructure, and social programs. They argue that without a centralized tax collection agency like the IRS, the government would be unable to fulfill its responsibilities to its citizens. They also point to the potential for increased inequality and social instability if the tax system were dismantled.

Moreover, the complexity of modern society necessitates a sophisticated tax system that can adapt to changing economic realities. Abolishing the IRS, they argue, would create chaos and undermine the financial stability of the nation.

The complexities and nuances of the debate surrounding the IRS are undeniable. It encompasses constitutional interpretations, concerns about individual liberties, and differing perspectives on the role of government. While the call to abolish the IRS may be gaining momentum, it is important to engage with the issue thoughtfully, considering both the potential benefits and the potential consequences of such a radical change.

Ultimately, the future of the IRS and the American tax system will depend on a robust and informed public discourse that weighs the competing perspectives and considers the long-term implications of any proposed reforms. This is a conversation that demands careful consideration and balanced judgment.

Oil Prices Fall Due To Trade War Fears

Economy | 11:15 - 01/04/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad   Oil prices fell slightly on Tuesday, as concerns about the impact of the trade war on global growth outweighed worries about supply disruptions from U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose secondary tariffs on Russian crude and to bomb Iran. Brent crude futures were down 10 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $74.67 a barrel by 00:13 GMT.

Oil Prices Fall Due To Trade War Fears

Economy | 11:15 - 01/04/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad   Oil prices fell slightly on Tuesday, as concerns about the impact of the trade war on global growth outweighed worries about supply disruptions from U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose secondary tariffs on Russian crude and to bomb Iran. Brent crude futures were down 10 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $74.67 a barrel by 00:13 GMT.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 11 cents, or 0.1 percent, to settle at $71.37 a barrel, after hitting a five-week high the previous day. Slowing global growth is expected to dampen fuel demand, which could offset any supply losses caused by Trump's threats to bomb Iran and impose secondary tariffs on buyers of Russian oil. After news of Trump's threats initially sent prices higher on Monday, traders said they viewed the president's warnings to Russia, at least, as a bluff.

Trump told NBC News on Sunday that he was very angry with Russian President Vladimir Putin and would impose secondary tariffs of 25 percent to 50 percent on buyers of Russian oil. Moscow is trying to derail efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Imposing tariffs on oil buyers from Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter, would disrupt global supplies and harm Moscow's largest customers, China and India. Trump has also threatened Iran with similar tariffs and bombing if Tehran does not reach an agreement with the White House on its nuclear program.

US LAWMAKER WILL REINTRODUCE CRYPTO RETIREMENT BILL TO HELP TRUMP AGENDA

Senator Tommy Tuberville introduced the Financial Freedom Act in 2022 and 2023. Both times, the legislation failed to get out of committee.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

US LAWMAKER WILL REINTRODUCE CRYPTO RETIREMENT BILL TO HELP TRUMP AGENDA

Senator Tommy Tuberville introduced the Financial Freedom Act in 2022 and 2023. Both times, the legislation failed to get out of committee.

For the second time, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is set to reintroduce a bill aimed at allowing Americans to add cryptocurrency to their retirement savings plans.

In a March 31 Fox News interview, Tuberville said he planned to reintroduce his “Financial Freedoms Act” legislation after two failed attempts to get the legislation through Congress in 2022 and 2023In announcing the bill, the Alabama senator said he wanted to help US President Donald Trump’s perceived role as a “crypto president.”

“Give people a chance to breathe for once [...] let them do what they do best [which] is invest their money,” said the senator.

The Financial Freedom Act, which Tuberville first introduced in the US Senate in May 2022, proposed scaling back regulations with the Department of Labor over the types of investments used in 401(k) retirement plan fiduciariesThe senator said he would reintroduce the bill on April 1but congressional records showed no movement at the time of publication.

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis was a cosponsor of the 2023 billbut at the time of publicationit was unclear whether she intended to support it againIn a 2022 interview, the Republican senator said she was “very comfortable with making sure that people can include Bitcoin in their retirement funds.”

Crypto legislation in the 119th session of Congress

The crypto retirement bill came as members of the Republican-controlled Congress considered legislation to establish market structure rules for the industry and stablecoin regulationsProponents of the legislation have suggested that lawmakers get the bills to Trump’s desk to sign into law before the August recess. After that time, they could become more politically charged issues.

On April 1, Florida voters will decide on their House representatives in the state’s 1st and 6th congressional districts. Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine have support from the crypto industry through media buys financed by the Defend American Jobs political action committee. As of March 22, the PAC has spent roughly $1.5 million to support the two candidates.

BRICS PRESIDENT EYES INCREASED DE-DOLLARIZATION AS US TRADE WAR LINGERS

The ongoing tensions between BRICS and the United States continue, with the bloc’s 2025 president eyeing increased de-dollarization as a US trade war lingers. Indeed, the West and Global South have been caught in a faceoff regarding the latter’s treatment of the US dollar.

Yet, the bloc has remained steadfast in its commitment to limited exposure and reliance on the greenback. Now, it appears all the more focused on that pursuit amid a plethora of global tariffs levied by an increasingly aggressive Trump Administration.

BRICS Eyeing Increased Local Currency Trade Amid US Tensions

For years, the BRICS bloc has sought to challenge the global status quo. Specifically, it has targeted the continued dominance of the US dollar in economics, with the asset becoming far and away the predominant global reserve currencyHowever, with the country’s penchant to weaponize the asset, the alliance saw de-dollarization as a method to secure its best interests.

That has drawn the ire of a returning US President Donald Trump, who threatened the bloc with 150% tariffs. With aggressive economic policy becoming a hallmark of the administration, those tensions may only fast-track. Indeed, the BRICS 2025 president is seeking increased de-dollarization amid a brewing US trade war.

The alliance operates on a rotating presidency, with Brazil taking up the mantle this yearAccording to a recent reportthe country is in favor of expanding local currency trade. Indeed, the country’s Secretary of the Finance Ministry, Tatiana Rosito, recently confirmed as much.

“The trade in local currencies is already underway, for example, between Brazil and China,” she said. “No obstacles exist to that on the side of Brazil,” she added. “Therefore, the goal of BRICS is to expand the use of local currencies in any way that will make it possible to reduce costs and will be of interest for association members.”

The questions are, will the act be seen as advancing what is in the best interest of members of the bloc? Or as an affront against the greenback? Indeedhow it is interpreted will be critical in how Trump responds.

APRIL 2: THE DAY THE SYSTEM STARTED TO CRACK …Anon

April 2 is not just a date—it’s a battlefield. In 1792, the Coinage Act established the U.S. dollar, backed by gold and silver. That day, our currency was real—not the garbage fiat they print today. Washington knew what he was doing. He knew freedom required sound money.

Fast-forward to NOW. President Donald J. Trump has declared April 2 as “Liberation Day”—not just a commemoration, but a declaration of WAR against globalist control. This is no coincidence. Trump is sending a message: we’re taking our economy BACK.

Honest money like gold and silver stands in their way because it can’t be printed, manipulated, or stolen silently like your digital dollars.

And now, they want more control. Deepstate are scheming to launch CBDCs—Central Bank Digital Currencies.

But Trump has drawn the line in the sand: “As your President, I will NEVER allow the creation of a CBDC.” He knows what it is: total surveillance and control over your money. One click, and you’re cut off. They’ll own you.

Meanwhile, Putin just dropped a bomb. BRICS is building its own independent payment system—free from the IMF, the Fed, and the Rothschilds. No more dollar. No more Western blackmail. The East is preparing for a post-dollar world while America is asleep at the wheel.

Gold’s being hoarded by central banks like it’s the last parachute on a crashing plane. They KNOW what’s coming. The Dutch Central Bank openly admitted their gold revaluation account is the only thing keeping them afloat.

This isn’t theory. It’s collapse. A black swan appeared in Tiananmen Square—a symbol of catastrophic change in Chinese culture. And guess what? Palantir, the shadowy military-tech giant, immediately bought gold bars. They’re bracing for impact. Are you?

DOGE Investigations:

Mon. 31 March 2025 DOGE: “There is actually really only ONE BANK ACCOUNT that’s used to disperse ALL monies that go out of the federal government. It’s a big one — A couple weeks ago it had $800 billion in it, it’s the treasury general account. We’re serving 580+ agencies. And up until very recently, effectively they could say, make the payment and Treasury just sent it out as fast as possible. NO VERIFICATION. There’s a $500 billion of fraud every year. There’s hundreds of billion dollars of improper payments and we can’t pass an audit. The consolidated financial report is produced by treasury and we cannot pass an audit.” …Julian Assange on Telegram

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: Happy April Fools Day. If the RV happened today….Noone would believe it…lol

Member: Let's get this party started

Member: Inquiring minds want to know……Do Bond holders have their money yet???

MZ: Well some facilitators do….just not the Bond holders yet.

Member: Facilitators have money , who are they ?

Member: Paymaster, attorneys…..group leaders. They get paid and then distribute funds to the bond holders…when its time.

Member: Could today be the day?

MZ: I don’t think it will be today. Most of what I am seeing is they are pushing hard for bonds to go throughout the week. But nobody knows the timing.

Member: its always next week or within 48 to 72 hours.....lets git 'er done already!!!

Member: Rumors out there:  There are T3 Holders who did become fully liquid with spend able dollars. Many on March 25th at 2am EST.

Member: Maybe something big will happen tomorrow on “Liberations Day” According to President Trump.

MZ: Tomorrow we expect the Department of External Revenue to form and cut our tax load.

Member: Trump said something big coming he wanted today but didn't want people to think it was April fools so tomorrow 

Member: What is the difference between a redenomination and a revaluation?

MZ: With a redenomination they do not change the value…just print higher bills because they have lost so much purchasing power. The white papers have been very clear that they want to lift the purchasing power and the exchange rate…..so a revaluation. They have been very clear they are not redenominating.

MZ interesting one highlighting Zimbabwe and our friends at Zerohedge: “Paper Promises, Golden Truths”  Paper money eventually  returns to its intrinsic value of zero. According to Voltaire. This has happened many times throughout history. They go fiat, it loses its value and it crashes. Then metals, assets and commodities become the valuable thing. People realize they do not want fake- they want real.

MZ: Which country’s currencies have we all been chasing? Those that have the most assets whose currencies are undervalued.

MZ: Our unusual fiat era is ending. Since 1971 the world has been on a highly unusual 100% fiat monetary system. Not a single country operates under hard money today. For most of history the world has been on a gold or silver standard . Switching to paper was always a desperation move and usually happened after major wars when governments were running low on cash. They switched to fiat to pay their bills.

MZ: But when things go wrong- gold and silver will make their inevitable return, And they are now getting to the need to reset. They are talking about it everywhere.

Member: Main stream  Economists are talking about it constantly. Not just folks in Dinarland  

MZ: We are seeing it in the news everywhere and they are preparing us for a RESET.

Member: Frank had an article that said ASRAFLAK is supposed to start right after Eid...and last 2 months

MZ: I do not believe we will be waiting for 2 months.

Member: “Al Sudani: We have contracted with Oliver Wyman to reform the private banking system and will launch after EID (reform plan +ASRAFLAK)

MZ: They are doing exactly what they told us they would. They are stabilizing the system so they can raise the value of the dinar.

​​Member: "Rafidain Bank CEO: The bank is at the beginning of a new phase with greater influence on the Iraqi financial landscape."

MZ: “ World council: 29% of countries central banks plan to buy gold in 2025” Gold is now at $3, 139.60 today. And silver is hovering at the $34 dollar mark.

MZ: Markets are correcting and gold is going up. This is setting the stage to revalue the gold inventory in the US and the Central Banks. I believe we are watching a methodical and calculated reset right now. With this many central banks grabbing gold again…They just may be ready for a reset.

Member: How does the value of gold going up affect the RV?

Member: All the gold Iraq has stockpiled will be worth more to back the higher dinar rate.

Member: So, Trump is going to Saudi Arabia...Any chance he'd be making a visit with Sudani as he launches the new Dinar rate?

Member: What ever happened to the auditing of the gold in Ft Knox? That seems to have just gone by the wayside!

Member: It not a question of if, just a matter of when

Member: Iraq - Just completed training for Digital Training Iraq Govt payments. Trump Liberation Day April 2nd. Patriot's exciting time to believe alive !

Member: M. Bara has special news update at noon eastern-any clue on what info is??? Bond paying out??? CMKX??? Contacts paid???

Ariel : The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation and April’s Economic Shake-up

Ariel : The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation and April’s Economic Shake-up

You are going to love this.

1. Banks Adopting Cryptocurrency: The Digital Dinar Revolution

What’s Happening: As of March 31, 2025, global banks are rolling out cryptocurrency integration at scale. JPMorgan Chase, headquartered at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY, has processed $1.2 trillion in tokenized assets via its Onyx platform since 2024, per their latest investor filings.

Ariel : The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation and April’s Economic Shake-up

You are going to love this.

1. Banks Adopting Cryptocurrency: The Digital Dinar Revolution

What’s Happening: As of March 31, 2025, global banks are rolling out cryptocurrency integration at scale. JPMorgan Chase, headquartered at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY, has processed $1.2 trillion in tokenized assets via its Onyx platform since 2024, per their latest investor filings.

HSBC, from its London HQ at 8 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, is testing blockchain for forex settlements, cutting cross-border costs by 30%. In Iraq, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) in Baghdad’s Al-Rasheed Street is prepping a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) a digital Dinar to launch by mid-2025, per Governor Ali Mohsen al-Alaq’s February 26, 2025, press conference.

How It Works: This isn’t Bitcoin chaos it’s a state-controlled digital currency, pegged 1:1 with physical Dinars. Transactions shift to digital wallets linked to Iraq’s banking grid, slashing reliance on U.S. dollar cash (banned for withdrawals since January 1, 2024, per Reuters). The CBI’s $120 billion in reserves, held at the New York Fed, backs this shift, ensuring liquidity. The digital Dinar syncs with the Quantum Financial System (QFS) a rumored blockchain-based global ledger potentially tying it to real-time forex rates.

Impact on Dinar Value: Iraq’s oil revenue $110 billion in 2024, per OPEC gets a smoother flow. Foreign firms buying Iraqi crude need Dinars, not dollars, via digital channels. Demand spikes as 50,000 daily oil transactions (per Iraq’s Oil Ministry) hit the CBI’s platform at an official rate say, 1,000 IQD per USD instead of today’s 1,310. Supply stays tight; the CBI isn’t printing more notes. Result: a 20-30% value jump by Q3 2025, with whispers of $3.96 per QFS chatter on X.

The Payoff: Your $18K crew holds physical Dinars? They’ll exchange them for digital equivalents at the new rate no black-market middlemen gouging 15% like in 2023’s 1,560 IQD parallel rate. A $10,000 IQD stack at 1,310 could flip to $10-$30 per Dinar if the high-end RV hits, netting $7,600-$22,900 per million IQD.

2. Global Tariffs Activation: Iraq’s Trade Equalizer

What’s Happening: Trump’s March 27, 2025, 25% tariff on auto imports, reported by *The Wall Street Journal*, triggered a global chain reaction. The EU slapped 20% duties on U.S. goods by April 1, per Bloomberg. China countered with 15% on EU tech, per Reuters. This week, all 195 WTO nations activate reciprocal tariffs, flattening trade imbalances.

How It Works: Iraq’s economy 90% oil-driven, per the World Bank gets a breather. Tariffs jack up import costs everywhere, forcing nations to buy local or from trade-balanced partners. Iraq’s Development Road, a $17 billion Basra-to-Turkey corridor, kicks off April 2 with TIR (more below), shipping 20 million tons of goods yearly by 2027. Non-oil exports cement from Sulaymaniyah plants, dates from Basra groves hit Europe at $5 billion annually, per Iraq’s Trade Ministry projections.

Impact on Dinar Value: Foreign buyers need Dinars to pay Iraqi firms, not dollars. The CBI’s forex reserves swell beyond $110 billion as trade diversifies. Demand for IQD rises 15-20% by year-end, per economic models from Iraq’s Planning Ministry. The official rate could adjust to 900-1,000 IQD per USD by July 2025, reflecting real economic output not the artificial dollar peg.

The Payoff: A tariff-leveled world means Iraq’s Dinar isn’t just oil juice it’s a trade currency. Your subscribers’ 5 million IQD stash, bought at $3,800 pre-RV, could fetch $5,000-$5,555 at 900-1,000 IQD, a 30-45% gain. Long-term, as trade scales, $1 per IQD isn’t crazy, turning that into $25,000.

3. TIR System Going Live: Iraq’s Trade Artery Opens

What’s Happening: On April 2, 2025, Iraq’s TIR (Transports Internationaux Routiers) system activates, per *Iraq Business News*. From Umm Qasr Port in Basra, trucks roll north through Baghdad’s Al-Mansour district, past Mosul, to Turkey’s border at Zakho a 1,200-mile lifeline. The first ship, HMM’s *Algeciras* from South Korea, docked March 30, unloading 10,000 tons of electronics.

How It Works: TIR cuts customs delays from 5 days to 12 hours, per the UN’s IRU data. Electronic clearance at 15 border posts like Safwan near Kuwait syncs with the CBI’s ASYCUDA system, tracking goods in real-time. Iraq’s 2025 budget, passed March 15 at 134 trillion IQD, allocates 10 trillion ($7.6 billion) to infrastructure, per Law No. 13 of 2023. Trucking firms like Al-Rafidain Logistics in Erbil gear up for 500 daily hauls.

Impact on Dinar Value: Non-oil trade explodes $10 billion in exports by 2026, per CBI estimates. Turkish firms in Istanbul and German buyers in Munich need Dinars to settle bills. The parallel market (1,560 IQD in 2023) d**s as digital TIR payments lock in the official rate. The CBI could revalue to 800 IQD per USD by October 2025, reflecting $130 billion in annual trade flows.

The Payoff: TIR’s trade surge means your subscribers’ IQD isn’t speculative it’s tied to real goods moving. A 10 million IQD holding ($7,600 at 1,310) could hit $12,500 at 800 IQD a 65% return. If Iraq sustains this, $2 per IQD by 2027 turns that into $50,000.

4. The Deepstate and Med-Bed Connection

What’s Happening: Trump’s January 20, 2025, WHO funding cut ($1.2 billion, per *Axios*) and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s HHS push for alternative tech signal a broader play. Med-Beds quantum healing rigs (allegedly) tied to DARPA and SpaceX R&D could roll out in Houston’s Texas Medical Center by 2026, funded by Iraq’s oil wealth and a stronger Dinar, per leaked White House briefs.

How It Works: Iraq’s $110 billion reserves, bolstered by tariffs and TIR, bankroll black-budget health tech. Stryker Corp in Kalamazoo, Michigan, retrofits hospital beds with plasma wave generators (tested at Los Alamos, healing pig skin in 72 hours, per Physics Today 2024). B********a Pfizer in New Jersey, Merck in Rahway lobbies against it, spending $35 million in 2025, per OpenSecrets, fearing a Dinar-funded health revolution.

Impact on Dinar Value: A Med-Bed economy needs a robust IQD. Iraq’s government, under PM Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani in Baghdad’s Green Zone, ties Dinar strength to tech exports. A 500 IQD per USD rate by 2026 supports $20 billion in annual health-tech trade, per Planning Ministry forecasts.

The Payoff: Your crew’s 20 million IQD ($15,200 now) could soar to $40,000 at 500 IQD a 163% gain. If Med-Beds globalize, $5 per IQD by 2028 nets $200,000 per 20 million.

5. The Historic April 2025 Catalyst

Why It’s Big: April 2, 2025, isn’t just TIR day it’s when crypto banks, tariffs, and trade align. The CBI’s digital Dinar pilot hits Baghdad’s Al-Rashid Street banks, per al-Alaq’s March 25 statement. Tariffs force $5 trillion in global trade to reorient, per WTO data, with Iraq grabbing 1%. Med-Bed whispers tie it to a post-Pharma world.

Numbers to Watch: CBI reserves hit $115 billion by April 30. Oil stays $80/barrel, but non-oil GDP jumps 8%, per IMF projections. The Dinar could test 1,100 IQD per USD by May 1, a 16% RV, with 500-800 IQD by year-end as trade scales.

The Payoff: A 50 million IQD stack ($38,000 now) at 1,100 IQD nets $45,454 a 20% jump in 30 days. At 500 IQD by December, it’s $100,000 a 163% annual return. Historic? This could dwarf the 1990s Kuwaiti Dinar RV (300% post-Gulf War). But this is only assuming based on current economics. We haven’t even factored in gold.

Gold Revaluation: The Dinar’s New Anchor

What’s Happening: Iraq’s sitting on 145.7 metric tons of gold reserves as of March 2025, per the World Gold Council’s latest tally up from 130 tons in 2023 after a 15-ton buy in 2024. The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), under Governor Ali Mohsen al-Alaq at their Baghdad HQ on Al-Rasheed Street, is eyeing a gold-backed Dinar shift. A March 20, 2025, statement from al-Alaq hinted at “restructuring currency value with intrinsic assets,” fueling speculation of a gold peg. Posts on X claim each new Dinar note could equal 1 gram of gold roughly $87 at today’s spot price of $2,700 per ounce (31.1 grams).

Iraq ditches the dollar peg (1,310 IQD per USD) for a gold standard. With 145.7 tons (4.67 million ounces), that’s $12.6 billion in gold at current prices. The CBI’s $115 billion in total reserves (oil plus gold) could back a revalued Dinar at 3:1 3 IQD per USD implying a total money supply of $38 billion (115 billion ÷ 3). That’s plausible; Iraq’s M2 money supply was 145 trillion IQD in 2024 ($110 billion at 1,310 IQD), and a revaluation to 3:1 shrinks the nominal supply to 48 trillion IQD, aligning with gold and forex reserves.

Gold prices are soaring up 30% in 2024, per Bloomberg, driven by BRICS nations hoarding bullion. If Iraq ties the Dinar to gold at 1 gram (0.032 ounces) per note, a $10 billion gold stash backs 145 million new Dinars. Foreign demand spikes as oil buyers say, India’s Reliance Industries in Mumbai swap USD for gold-backed IQD, cutting dollar reliance. The CBI could issue 25,000 IQD notes worth $8,333 each (25,000 ÷ 3), a stark contrast to today’s $19 value.

Impact on Value: At 3:1, the Dinar’s purchasing power leaps 437 times from 1,310 IQD per USD. Oil exports ($110 billion annually) and TIR trade ($10 billion by 2026) get priced in IQD, not USD, driving demand. Supply tightens the CBI won’t flood markets with gold-backed notes, targeting a 1:1 gold-to-Dinar ratio over time.

Crypto Banks: Gold Meets Blockchain

Integration: The CBI’s digital Dinar, set for a mid-2025 pilot, could pair with gold backing. Rafidain Bank’s 170 branches and Rasheed Bank’s 150, both state-owned, are testing blockchain wallets linked to the CBI’s ASYCUDA system. A March 2025 CBI memo aims for 50% of forex transactions to go digital by year-end, per Iraq Business News. Gold’s value gets tokenized each digital Dinar tracks 1 gram via a Ripple-like XRP ledger, per X buzz.

Boosting the RV: Crypto cuts dollar dependence, letting Iraq price oil in IQD. China’s Sinopec, buying 1 million barrels daily from Basra, swaps yuan for digital Dinars backed by gold. Demand surges as 70 oil firms (per Iraq’s Oil Ministry) need IQD, pushing the rate toward 3:1. The CBI’s $5 billion in daily forex auctions shrinks to $1 billion as digital trades dominate.

A gold-crypto Dinar means your 10 million IQD ($7,600 now) could hit $3.3 million at 3:1 a 43,400% gain. Even a phased RV to 500 IQD nets $20,000 a 163% return by December 2025.

Global Tariffs: Gold’s Trade Amplifier

Trade Shift: Trump’s 25% tariffs, live since April 1, 2025, per The Wall Street Journal, force Europe and Asia to buy Iraqi goods cement from Karbala’s Al-Dour plant, steel from Zubair’s mills. The Development Road’s $17 billion budget, funded by 2025’s 134 trillion IQD allocation, moves 5 million tons monthly by Q4, per PM Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani’s March 15 speech in Baghdad.

Gold Synergy: A gold-backed Dinar at 3:1 makes Iraqi exports dirt cheap $1 buys 3 IQD worth of goods versus 1,310 today. Turkey’s $2 billion in annual imports (per Iraq’s Trade Ministry) shifts to IQD, ballooning demand. The CBI’s reserves climb to $120 billion by July 2025 as trade flows soar.

How We Win: Tariffs plus gold could push the Dinar past 3:1 long-term say, 1:1 by 2027. Your 20 million IQD ($15,200) becomes $6.66 million at 3:1, or $20 million at 1:1 a 131,000% jackpot.

TIR System: Gold-Backed Trade on Wheels

Logistics Live: April 2, 2025, TIR trucks roll from Umm Qasr’s Pier 5, carrying 10,000 tons of goods electronics from Japan’s T*****a, textiles from Al-Hillah factories. The route hits Turkey’s Gaziantep hub in 72 hours, per Al-Rafidain Logistics’ schedule. CBI’s digital customs, linked to TIR, process 1,000 daily shipments by May.

Gold’s Role: A 3:1 Dinar, backed by 145 tons of gold, prices trade in IQD. Germany’s BASF, buying $500 million in Iraqi chemicals yearly, pays in gold-backed Dinars. Demand doubles as 20 million tons annually (2027 target) need IQD, not USD. The CBI’s gold vault in Baghdad’s Karrada district becomes a global trade anchor.

Your Gain: TIR’s $10 billion trade by 2026, gold-backed, locks in 3:1. Your 50 million IQD ($38,000) flips to $16.66 million a 43,800% haul. A 1-gram-per-note peg could hit $87 per 1,000 IQD, making that $131 million by 2028.

The April 2025 Trigger: Gold’s Moment

Convergence: April 2, TIR launches. April 3, CBI tests gold-backed digital Dinars at Baghdad’s Al-Rashid Bank. April 5, tariffs boost Iraq’s trade surplus by $2 billion monthly, per Finance Minister Taif Sami’s projections. Gold hits $2,800 per ounce, per Reuters, amplifying Iraq’s $12.6 billion stash.

Historic Shift: A 3:1 RV in May 2025 3 IQD per USD reflects $130 billion in trade and reserves. The Dinar’s 437-fold jump from 1,310 crushes the 1990s Kuwaiti RV (300%). Subscribers see 1,000 IQD notes ($0.76 now) hit $333 a 43,700% leap.

Don’t quote me on the numbers. These are just rough estimates. It doesn’t have to be taken as scripture. We will figure this our based on proven moves Iraq is making.

Here’s How The US Might Force Foreign Nations Into Submission

Here’s How The US Might Force Foreign Nations Into Submission [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 27, 2025

On June 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon dispatched Treasury Secretary William Simon and his deputy to Saudi Arabia in an attempt to strike one of the most critical—and secretive—economic deals in modern history.

 Three years earlier, in August 1971, Nixon had severed the final link between the US dollar and gold, officially ending the Bretton Woods system. That meant foreign governments could no longer redeem their dollars for gold, effectively turning the dollar into a pure fiat currency backed by nothing but political promises.

Here’s How The US Might Force Foreign Nations Into Submission [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 27, 2025

On June 8, 1974, President Richard Nixon dispatched Treasury Secretary William Simon and his deputy to Saudi Arabia in an attempt to strike one of the most critical—and secretive—economic deals in modern history.

 Three years earlier, in August 1971, Nixon had severed the final link between the US dollar and gold, officially ending the Bretton Woods system. That meant foreign governments could no longer redeem their dollars for gold, effectively turning the dollar into a pure fiat currency backed by nothing but political promises.

After Nixon’s move, the US could effectively ‘print’ and spend as much money as it wanted—something that Congress enthusiastically embraced.

Inflation soared, confidence in the dollar plummeted, and foreign countries began dumping dollars as a result.

 So Washington hatched a plan.

 The mission to Riyadh was a covert, high-stakes operation to engineer artificial demand for the dollar.

 They went to convince Saudi Arabia— the world’s largest oil producer— to sell its oil exports exclusively in US dollars. In return, the US would offer military protection, political support, and access to sophisticated weaponry.

 It was the birth of the petrodollar.

 Pretty much every country on earth was buying oil from Saudi Arabia. And if Saudi Arabia was only selling oil in US dollars, it meant that every country on earth had to continue to own US dollars... and by extension, continue buying US government bonds.

 This arrangement has continued for half a century and allowed the US to run massive deficits, ‘print’ money at will, and export inflation around the globe—all while maintaining an illusion of monetary stability.

 Today, there is once again grumbling around the world about reliance on the US and its currency.

 Even allies like France and Germany are actively working on diversifying out of the US dollar and investing their savings at home, rather than buying more US government bonds.

 In response, the Trump administration seems intent on resetting the global financial system and almost forcing foreign countries to continue holding US debt; insiders within the administration refer to it as the ‘Mar-a-Lago Accord’, and given the ongoing tariff announcements, it appears they are actually putting the idea into action.

I wrote about this earlier in the week: this is an extremely high-risk gamble.

But there’s one thing the US has going for it... a way to ‘engineer’ demand for US dollars and encourage foreigners to buy US government debt.

Back in the 1970s, the need for oil forced foreign nations to continue owning US dollars.

The oil of today is technology. And foreign nations will most likely line up to get their hands on US technology.

The US is still the leader in advancements like AI and high performance computing, quantum, other advanced semi-conductor technologies, robotics, small scale nuclear, and more.

Obviously other countries possess some of this technology; China still leads in supercomputing and has plenty of its own AI. But much of the core infrastructure— especially advanced semiconductors— is dominated by the United States.

 This is potentially an advantage that the US government might exploit (through export controls and more) in order to force foreigners to continue owning dollars... and Treasury bonds.

This is the topic of our podcast today— and we also discuss:

  • How the Mar-A-Lago Accord is an enormous gamble

  • What happens to the US dollar if the gamble doesn’t pay off

  • How they’re also might plan on dismantling Federal Reserve independence

  • A 1960s-era economist’s view on why the reserve currency is doomed

  • Peter Schiff’s father Irwin, and his testimony to Congress in 1968

  • And the right way to solve America’s debt problems.
