Keith Weiner: 2025 is the Perfect Storm for Gold

Keith Weiner: 2025 is the Perfect Storm for Gold

Palisades Gold Radio:  4-2-2025

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Keith Weiner for a discussion on the growing interest in gold as a hedge against economic instability and the risks associated with fiat currencies.

Weiner highlighted that while some investors are drawn to gold due to its rising price momentum, others view it as a long-term insurance against the flaws inherent in government-backed money.

He explained that governments often borrow without a clear plan to repay, leading to an unsustainable debt situation. This has led individuals and countries to seek alternatives like gold, which is seen as a stable store of value unaffected by monetary policy or political whims.

 Weiner also touched on the concept of "zombie credit," where corporations struggle to service their debts, particularly in the face of rising interest rates. The conversation delved into the geopolitical implications of de-dollarization and how countries are increasingly recognizing the limitations of relying solely on the US dollar for trade and reserves.

Despite efforts by governments to create alternative currencies or payment systems, Weiner argued that these initiatives often fail due to a lack of trust and cohesion among nations.

Additionally, Weiner discussed the impact of tariffs on global trade and their effect on debt servicing, noting how such policies can exacerbate financial instability.

He also explored the differences between gold and silver markets, emphasizing that gold is more attractive to institutional investors as it offers a hedge against broader economic risks without the same level of volatility or storage challenges.

Throughout the interview, Weiner emphasized the fundamental drivers behind gold's rise, including the decline in confidence in fiat currencies, the increasing debt levels globally, and the search for safe-haven assets.

He concluded by noting that while gold faces short-term corrections, its long-term bullish trajectory remains intact due to ongoing structural economic issues and the relentless demand from both individual and institutional investors seeking stability amidst uncertainty.

In summary, the interview underscored the role of gold as a critical hedge against an increasingly unstable financial landscape, driven by flawed monetary policies, geopolitical tensions, and the search for safe-haven assets.

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Thursday Afternoon 4-3-25

 Al-Sudani's Advisor Clarifies: Are Iraqi Oil Exports Covered By Trump's Tariffs?

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad  The Prime Minister's advisor for foreign relations, Farhad Alaa Al-Din, confirmed on Thursday that Iraqi energy exports, including crude oil, are not covered by the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, while noting that the economic impact on Iraq is very limited.

Alaa El-Din said, "In light of the recent announcement by US President Donald Trump regarding the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on a number of countries around the world, we would like to clarify that Iraqi energy exports, including crude oil, are not subject to these tariffs."

He added, "Iraq currently exports between 7 and 8 million barrels of crude oil and its derivatives per month to the United States. These exports constitute the backbone of Iraqi exports and have not been affected by the recent customs measures."

He continued: "As for the rest of Iraqi exports, they are limited in size and scope, which means that the economic impact of these tariffs on Iraq will be extremely limited."

He stressed that "the strategic partnership between Iraq and the United States remains solid and strong, and that these measures will not affect the essence of the economic or diplomatic relationship between the two countries." He noted that "Iraq continues its commitment to deepening cooperation with the United States in various sectors, particularly in the areas of energy, investment, and enhancing regional stability."   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54050

Iraq Preempts OPEC By Reducing Its Oil Production

Time: 04/02/2025 Read: 2,205 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reduced its crude oil production last month, by reducing production from Iraq and Nigeria, just before the group began implementing long-delayed plans to restore previously suspended oil supplies.

Bloomberg reported that OPEC cut its production by 110,000 barrels per day, bringing it to 27.43 million barrels per day. OPEC leaders urged member states to adhere to the specified production quotas, a requirement some countries have not yet complied with.

Starting this month, the OPEC+ alliance, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, intends to begin gradually increasing production after a significant portion of it had been halted for several years, as part of the alliance's efforts to support oil prices.

The change came after US President Donald Trump called on OPEC to "bring down the price of oil," and some delegates said the group's leaders had lost patience with countries like Kazakhstan, which repeatedly exceed their production quotas.

A Bloomberg survey showed that Nigeria made the largest production cut among the coalition countries last month, cutting 50,000 barrels per day to an average of 1.5 million barrels per day, in line with its quota. Shipments of Nigerian Bonny Light crude are facing delays due to a fire on the Trans-Niger pipeline.

Iraq came in second place after reducing its production by 40,000 barrels per day to 4.15 million barrels per day, bringing it closer to the agreed-upon ceiling. However, Baghdad still exceeds the four million barrel limit and has made only limited progress on the additional cuts it pledged to compensate for previous overproduction.

The United Arab Emirates increased its production by 30,000 barrels per day, reaching 3.33 million barrels per day, exceeding its agreed-upon ceiling, according to the survey.

Data used by the OPEC Secretariat, compiled from a range of external sources, shows that both Iraq and the UAE are approaching their agreed production levels.

OPEC+ is scheduled to add about 138,000 barrels per day this month, the first in a series of gradual additions that will continue until late 2026. The alliance is expected to decide in the coming days on the next tranche, scheduled for May, and several delegates said they expect to proceed with it.

The Bloomberg survey is based on ship-tracking data, information from officials, and estimates from consulting firms Rapidan Energy Group, FGE, and Rystad Energy.  LINK

3 ‘Horrible’ Pieces of Tax Advice, According to The Money Guy Show

3 ‘Horrible’ Pieces of Tax Advice, According to The Money Guy Show

Catherine Collins  Tue, April 1, 2025  GOBankingRates

The financial advisors behind the podcast ‘The Money Guy Show‘ recently reviewed popular TikTok tax hacks that are actually terrible money advice. In addition to being financial advisors, hosts Brian Preston and Bo Hansen are also accountants, so listeners can benefit from hearing their advice about what is and isn’t allowed when you file your taxes.

While the hosts aren’t against tax planning, many of the TikTok tax strategies they reviewed are less about planning and more about being misleading or even committing fraud. Many people turn to ‘The Money Guy Show’ for financial lessons that aren’t boring. So, if someone is interested in lowering their tax bill, this is a show to follow.

What’s important to remember is that if people need to get tax advice, they should follow the advice of an accountant. Not everything you see on TikTok is true, but sometimes people get excited about ways they can save money. Unfortunately, not all ways are valid.

Here are a few examples of bad Tik Tok tax advice, according to the pros at ‘The Money Guy Show.’ Also, learn how to avoid bad financial advice on social media.

Lease a Range Rover and Write It Off

The Money Guys reviewed a video where Grant Cardone told viewers they could write off a $150,000 Range Rover “100%” so long as they use it for business.

The IRS does have rules about using a car for business purposes, but how you can only deduct the business portion of how you use it.

The Money Guys explained you have to carefully track your mileage to write off a car as a business expense — you can’t write off any driving for personal use. Preston also pointed out, “‘Deductible’ is not ‘free.’ … You’re still paying 60 cents on the dollar.”

Ariel : Liberation Day, Iraq Tariffs, Historic Milestone

Ariel : Liberation Day, Iraq Tariffs, Historic Milestone

4-3-2025

April 2nd

Today is the day ladies & Gentlemen.

Liberation Day!

What does this truly mean for humanity?

We are no longer being stripped dry of resources with no reciprocal equal return?

We are no longer paying foreign countries with aide that has no residual impact on our investments?

Today we get to stand firm on a future that is not yet here. A solid foundation that is a launch pad to an entire different way of living.

Does it mean that domestic energy and manufacturing surge as resource extraction prioritizes American soil, cutting reliance on foreign exploitation and ending the one-way drain of wealth?

Does it mean that billions once funneled to overseas regimes with no return $50 billion annually, per 2024 estimates redirect to infrastructure, slashing debt and boosting local economies?

Does it mean that tariffs and renegotiated deals force equal exchange exports like tech and agriculture ($300 billion in 2024) now matched by imports that don’t gut American jobs?

Does it mean that a shift from dollar hegemony begins, with gold-backed or blockchain alternatives curbing inflation consumer prices, up 20% since 2020, stabilize for the first time in decades?

We will not have long to find out.

Announcements?

Let’s see what happens.

Iraq will be getting hit with 39% Tariffs.

You know the saying…pressure bust pipes.

Its only a matter of time.

Gina H: Where did you see that? It’s not on the list he gave during the speech.

Suzie-Q: 

Did you know that Iraq’s Central Bank confirmed a historic milestone. It was reported that their foreign reserves now cover more than 100% of the dinar in circulation. Donald Trump put that fire under their a***s. Looks like they are ready to pull the trigger at any moment

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 04/03/2025

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….. Well, here we are……another Thursday

Member: I’m getting excited! World markets tumbled overnight and ours is down 1200 points already! Good morning everyone!

Member: Possible Market crash on the way……and new financial system???

Member: Dow down -1556

MZ: There is going to be a lot of adjustments going on…especially in global trade. The whole world is changing….just watch it.

Member: MZ, this could be the correction in the market we have been waiting on to RV?

MZ: We are seeing a correction…and not a crash.

Member: This should speed up going to an asset back currency??

MZ: IMO we are watching the reset happening right now- right in front of our eyes.

Member: So other countries have high tariffs on us and we now reciprocate which I see is fair. However, why don’t these other countries just lower the tariffs and USA do the same?

Member: That is the plan.

Member: Mark, big picture is Trump is forcing the world to move into GESARA. Equal playing field, parity on currencies and no backroom deals.

Member: Trump posted  this morning about the 'Operation' is over and the patient is going to heal!!!!!!!!!

MZ: Before they “reset” and get new dollars…you have to change/fix the economy otherwise you are just putting a bandaid on it. They are actually fixing the problem now.

Member: So many ppl don't get how the tariffs work and are upset about it. Most don't want you to "educate" them either, they would rather be upset

Member: Many economists and members of the Trump Administration started talking about currency manipulation and fair trade yesterday…..encouraging

Member: ​​yesterday Trump mentioned currency manipulation out of Vietnam?? And needing them to raise the rates of the VND.

Member: Do you think we will get to the end of this before Easter?

MZ: Based on everything I am seeing…banker movement, bond movement ect…I think bond folks really are in their big week right now. My gut feeling is April is our month.

MZ: last night I told you it appears that they are moving more and more bond transactions out of Reno to other locations……Many are going to Europe to exchange. I thought that was interesting. They appear to be getting all the exchanges out of Reno because of intel leaks.  Just my opinion.

MZ: “Sudanese advisor: Iraq’s oil export are not covered by US tariffs”  Tariffs really won’t affect Iraq negatively. Iraq has been charging the Us about 78% tariffs to bring US dollars in. the US is chaging Iraq half of what they are charging us….but oil is exempted.

Member: Was wondering if the tariff on Iraq would force them to revalue to pay the tariff. If I understand correctly you're saying no??

Member: Are Redemption Centers working today and this weekend??? Word was they were fully manned yesterday and awaiting 800 number release.

MZ: I do not have an update from them yet.

Member: is it still on the table, bonds exchange in fiat and currency gets commodity backed?

Member: I thought  bonds were to be paid in fiat and reset for currency into commodity backed currency

Member: What is a whale?

MZ:  There are currency whales and bond whales….they have spent $100,000 or more buying currency or bonds. These are at “Whale levels” I know people who have spent millions of dollars on this.

Meber: The live stream for Fort Knox could be the public day. I understand that if it's short or empty, that would collapse the economy.

Member: Anyone know what day the Fort Knox Audit is being done? Hope its soon.

Member: I think we see trump announce audit of fort knox in coming days

MZ: It will be all over the news when that happens. We won’t have to hunt for it.

​​Member: Trump has said several times, "Easter is our timeline."

MZ: The easiest time of year to open the St. Germaine trust is Easter and Christmas.

Member: Easter is April 20th….all we can do is hope.

Member: Easter to us Christians is known as Resurrection Day.

Member: Thank you to Mark and our Mods for this wonderful community.

World Gold Council: 29% Of Central Banks Plan To Purchase Gold By 2025
 
Economy     gold     buying     countries   2025-04-01 00:20  Shafaq News/ The World Gold Council confirmed on Tuesday that 29% of countries' central banks intend to purchase the precious metal in 2025. The council said in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that
 
"29% of countries' central banks intend to purchase gold during the current year," noting that  
"the purchases are due to the desire to restore balance to a more strategic level in these reserves, 
     financial market concerns, as well as the increased risks of crises and rising inflation."

He added that   
"gold continues to attract the attention of central banks as a reserve asset," noting that
 
"increasingly complex geopolitical and financial factors make managing gold reserves more important than ever." He pointed out that
 
"central banks added

     1,037 tons of gold in 2023, the second-highest annual purchases in history, after setting a record of

     1,082 tons in 2022."
 
Iraq has gold reserves of 162.7 tons,
 
ranking 28th among countries with the highest reserves of the precious metal.

Gold Prices Rise Ahead Of US-China Tariffs

Wednesday, April 2, 2025 | Economic Number of reads: 189  Baghdad / NINA / Gold prices extended their gains on Wednesday, after hitting a record high in the previous session, as investors sought a safe haven in the yellow metal in anticipation of the potential impact of mutual tariffs between the United States and China.

The price of spot gold rose 0.7% to $3,131.25 per ounce, as of 02:40 GMT.

The price of gold reached an all-time high of $3,148.88 on Tuesday.

US gold futures rose 0.4% to $3,159.90.

Philip Newman, managing director of Metals Focus, said: "The main reason behind these consecutive record highs is safe haven buying, and the geopolitical uncertainty that supports this shows no signs of abating."

Some of the uncertainty that has rocked markets this year is expected to dissipate after President Trump unveils his tariff plan on Wednesday.

Newman said that a slowing US economy, a potential rise in inflation, and lower interest rates could pave the way for gold to reach $3,300 in the coming months.

Markets are in suspense ahead of US tariffs scheduled to be imposed later today, which President Donald Trump has dubbed "Liberation Day."

Trump's tariff policies could exacerbate inflation, slow economic growth, and escalate trade disputes.

Gold is considered a hedge against global instability and inflation and thrives in a low interest rate environment.

Spot silver rose 0.2% to $33.82 an ounce, platinum gained 0.8% to $987.66, and palladium advanced 0.7% to $990.45. /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1195305

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 4-3-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CIRCLE FILES FOR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING, PLANS TO LIST ON NYSE UNDER TICKER SYMBOL “CRCL”

Circle files for an IPO to list on the NYSE under the ticker "CRCL" with a focus on growing stablecoin revenue and market presence.

▪️Circle files for an IPO aiming to list on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CRCL” with uncertain share pricing.

▪️Circle reports $1.68 billion in revenue for 2024 driven by interest from USDC reserve assets.

▪️Circle’s IPO marks its first attempt at a traditional public listing after a failed SPAC merger.

Circle, the issuer of the USD Coin (USDC), has officially filed an S-1 application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), signaling its intent to go public. The firm submitted its filing on April 1 which reveals its intention to trade Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the market identifier “CRCL.”

The filing did not reveal the number of shares Circle plans to offer or the anticipated pricing range. As a result, the company’s valuation remains uncertain. However, it was disclosed that the shares sold by Circle will contribute proceeds directly to the company, while those sold by existing shareholders will not.

Underwriting duties for the IPO are being led by JPMorgan and Citigroup. The firms hold a 30-day right to buy extra shares for any portion exceeding original subscription levels.

Financial Performance and Revenue Growth

Circle’s financial data for 2024 offers a closer look at its performance. The company reported total revenue and reserve income of $1.68 billion, an increase from $1.45 billion in 2023. The bulk of its revenue came from reserve income tied to interest on assets backing the USDC. Operating expenses for the year amounted to $491.7 million, with compensation costs making up the largest portion at $263.4 million.

The net income from continuing operations at Circle reached $156.9 million last year despite a decrease from $271.5 million the previous year. The financial results showed a notable improvement compared to the previous year when Circle recorded a loss of $761.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA financial results for Circle reached $284.9 million in 2024.

Share Structure and Corporate Governance

Circle intends to adopt a three-tier share structure once it goes public. Class A shares, offered in the IPO, will carry one vote per share. Class B shares, which are held by co-founders Jeremy Allaire and Patrick Sean Neville, carry five votes per share. However, these shares are capped at 30% of total voting power. Class C shares carry no voting rights but are convertible under certain conditions.

This structure ensures Circle does not qualify as a “controlled company” under NYSE governance rules following the IPO.

A New Attempt at Going Public

This filing marks Circle’s first attempt at a traditional IPO after its failed merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2021. The company’s shares have no prior public market. The timing of the IPO coincides with growing stablecoin adoption and increasing regulatory interest in digital dollar infrastructure.

Circle’s IPO remains subject to regulatory review and market conditions. More details on the pricing and share volume will be disclosed in an updated filing before the listing date.

STABLECOIN TRANSPARENCY BILL PASSES HOUSE COMMITTEE WITH OVERWHELMING VOTE

The STABLE Act has cleared the House Financial Services Committee, even as scrutiny of Trump-linked stablecoin ventures mounts.

The House Financial Services Committee voted to advance stablecoin legislation Wednesday, approving the STABLE Act with 32 members in favor and 17 opposed.

The bill, formally named the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy Act, would create a framework for dollar-denominated stablecoins, including reserve requirements and anti-money laundering standards.

During the markup session's opening remarks, House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill stressed how blockchain technology "continues to transform the way money moves."

Hill stated that the bill forms part of their "ongoing efforts" to promote "financial innovation through sound digital asset policy. "

The vote proceeded despite controversy over President Donald Trump's family's connections to crypto ventures, including their foray into stablecoins with USD1 through World Liberty Financial.

Early in the session, Democrats raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, suggesting amendments to prevent the president and cabinet members from offering stablecoin products while in office.

Those concerns connect with an earlier statement by Rep. French Hill from Monday that Trump's crypto dealings have made drafting stablecoin legislation "more complicated."

The legislation now faces two more hurdles before becoming law. After the markup, it will be reported out of committee and scheduled for consideration by the House of Representatives.

Both the House and Senate must align their approaches, with key differences in state versus federal regulation and the treatment of foreign issuers such as Tether.

The GENIUS Act, a separate version from the Senate, will be considered alongside it.

Once the STABLE bill passes the House, it will move to the Senate, where it will undergo a similar process of committee consideration before potentially reaching the Senate floor for a vote.

If both chambers approve the bill, any differences between the House and Senate versions would need to be reconciled before the final legislation could be sent to the President for signature or veto.

Wednesday's development marks the committee's second attempt to advance stablecoin legislation. A previous effort in 2023 stalled amid partisan disagreements under the Biden administration.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday Morning 4-3-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Iraq joins TIR transit system

The global TIR transit system became fully operational in Iraq on April 1, 2025.

The International Road Union (IRU) said that Iraq is poised to strengthen its position as a key trade hub in the Middle East, making goods transport more efficient and secure across the country’s borders and beyond. The initiative connects southern and northern Iraq, also providing an efficient trade corridor linking Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, Türkiye and Europe.

Iraq transport minister H.E. Razzaq Muhaibes Al-Saadawi said: “The operationalisation of the TIR system in the Republic of Iraq, in which IRU played a significant role, marks a significant milestone as it places the country on the brink of a new phase of potential investments and interregional trade with our neighbours and other countries in the region.”

The TIR system is expected to leverage Iraq’s strategic location and to increase the efficiency of cross-border trade, and it is forecast to reduce transport time by 80 percent and costs by 38 percent. “For the last two years, we have been working tirelessly on upgrading the road transport infrastructure in cooperation with all relevant parties. We are therefore committed to maximising the advantages of the TIR system in Iraq to boost the transport sector and the national economy,” said Al-Saadawi.

IRU secretary general Umberto de Pretto, commenting on the launch, said: “For almost eight decades, TIR has been driving secure trade. I look forward to seeing the first TIR truck crossing the territory of Iraq.

“Trucks will seamlessly transit the country and proceed along corridors offering a high level of security, opening a new chapter for the country and its role in international trade.”

The integration of TIR’s Electronic Pre-Declaration (TIR-EPD) system with Iraq’s national URUK platform allows the submission of advance cargo information. Throughout a journey, trucks can be closely monitored using GPS tracking, while regular checkpoints ensure cargo and transport security, before it ultimately reaches its final destination safely and on time.  link

 Tishwash:  ASYCUDA representative to Rudaw: Iraq has completed the automation of 18 border crossings. 

ASYCUDA's representative in Iraq, Nizar Al-Ammari, confirmed that the customs automation system is currently implemented at 18 of the 21 ports, with difficulties in implementing it on the Syrian border despite the port's readiness.

 He noted that two additional ports (one sea and one land) will be operational by the 15th of this month, thus completing the automation of all Iraqi ports.

Al-Amari told Rudaw Media Network on Wednesday (April 2, 2025) that the ASYCUDA system focuses on the three basic customs operations: import, export, and transit, and includes all customs procedures from the moment goods are registered until they leave the customs port. All of these operations have become fully electronic, including payment.

He added that the system has entered its second phase, which includes automating the remaining ports and adding new applications to improve monitoring and maximize trade revenues. The third phase will include the implementation of a single window for foreign trade, which will make all foreign trade operations in Iraq fully automated, eliminating any paper transactions or cash payments.

Al-Amari emphasized that the new system will improve the accuracy of trade statistics in Iraq, helping to develop clear economic and strategic plans, a matter of utmost importance to the international community. He explained that the automation of customs will enhance trade fairness for all traders, as customs laws will be applied uniformly to all.

He pointed out that the system automatically calculates customs duties and regulates import and export permits, reducing the possibility of tampering with customs data. He emphasized that work is also underway to link the Iraqi system with those of neighboring countries, which will enable the identification of incoming goods before they arrive in Iraq, thereby limiting any attempts at manipulation or smuggling.

He stressed that the United Nations respects the sovereignty of states and regions, and that its role in Iraq is limited to providing technical and economic advice without political interference. He noted that the ASYCUDA system was agreed upon between the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Regarding the implementation of ASYCUDA in Kurdistan, Al-Amari pointed to three options: first, the Kurdistan Region would continue to use its current system or a different system with the possibility of linking it to ASYCUDA, provided it complies with international standards. Second, the Kurdistan Region would adopt the ASYCUDA system in full in the region through the Iraqi government, but this would be a complex option due to the linguistic and technical differences between the two systems.

The third option is to develop the ASYCUDA system in Kurdistan independently, linking it to the Iraqi system, as is the case in many countries that adopt unified systems with integration between local and international systems, he said. link

Al-Sudani's advisor to Rudaw: US tariffs do not include oil and gas, and their impact will be zero.

Mazhar Mohammed Salih, financial and economic advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, downplayed the impact of the US decision to impose a 39% tariff on Iraqi products, noting that Iraq has no significant exports to the US market.

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh told Rudaw Media Network on Thursday (April 3, 2025): "The US customs tariffs do not include oil and gas, which means that the impact of this move on Iraq will be zero, because Iraq does not have any other noteworthy goods exported to America that could be subject to customs duties."

Saleh explained that "Iraqi crude oil exports to the United States do not exceed $5 billion annually, and the US market is considered a secondary market for Iraq compared to those of China and India, where approximately 70% of Iraqi oil is exported."

Regarding the import of American goods to Iraq, he noted that "Iraq imports 90% of its goods and civilian needs from Turkey, India, China, the UAE, and some European countries," describing the American market as a "secondary market" compared to Asian and European markets. 

Al-Sudani's advisor said, "The Strategic Framework Agreement signed between Iraq and the United States in 2008 has protected Iraq from shifts in the US's highly protectionist policy, particularly with regard to the imposition of customs duties."

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the imposition of 39% tariffs on imports from US trading partners, including Iraq. link

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-1-25

 Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-1-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, April 1st  no fooling, and we're happy that you're here. We're happy to welcome everybody back on to the big call tonight. Those of you who are out in the hinterlands Greenland, no, just kidding, new volcanos up in Iceland, I heard today so or explosions of them. Thank you for coming in, we're glad you're here. We're gonna have a nice call tonight,  I hope to bring some valuable information to you.

Let's delve into what has been happening. Man, there's been a lot going on, some of which I was privy to this past week, and some of it I was not, but generally speaking, I have a pretty good idea of where we are and where we're going.

Now, to correct something that I said on last Thursday's call, I believe it was my in my mind calendar was off, and now that we know today is Tuesday, the first of April, that means tomorrow, which is Liberation Day, is the second of April, and Liberation Day is going to mean a lot for us, I believe, and I'll talk about that in a minute, but tomorrow being Wednesday is also the first Wednesday of the month, and therefore it's a Social Security day for people with early birthdays in the month, because they set your Wednesday up based on what your birthday is throughout your birth month.

And so that means now, the second, which is tomorrow is Wednesday. And then second, the ninth 16th and the 23rd

Means now the 2nd  which is tomorrow, is Wednesday, and then 2nd  the 9th  the 16th  and the 23rd  your first four Wednesdays for Social Security. Now, what I'm hearing, and Jeannie  always reminds me about Social Security increases  are supposed to happen  this month

I’m the last Wednesday of the month, so I never find out until mine will be the 23rd of April, but we should be in pretty good shape before that occurs. But there's been discussion as to whether the DOGE payment for Social Security  recipients  would occur into their Social Security bank accounts I'm calling  them - and whether that would be an increased amount  which we expect it to be – quite substantial -  And it may be DOGE Payment  which is supposed to start in the next  two or three days.

You've got Liberation Day tomorrow, which is Wednesday. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, which is the, what the second - third and fourth of April is when we expect DOGE payments to come out -   now it could come as a separate  payment or as an additional amount  increasing your Social Security  - and everybody gets it by direct deposit

as far as -   I don't know, some people may get it my paper check, I don't know. I just know that everyone  I've talked to gets it by direct deposit so that could be increased as early as tomorrow for the early social security recipients.

We got DOGE kicking in. They're calling it, oh gosh, I don't know. They're calling it DOGE dividend or DOGE payment, something to that effect.

 I don't even know if the word DOGEwill be in there, but that's theory, is that the additional amount is coming from savings that Elon and his team have found by going through all the waste, fraud and abuse of all of our and they haven't done all of our programs yet and all of our parts of government, but what they've done so far, it looks like they're going to save quite a bit, allow the government to save quite a bit of money, spending foolishly and fraudulently, People that are over 113 or 14 years old, and all kinds of stuff you guys have seen, I'm sure some of the DOGE information, but we've got that starting.

And then we also have, what we're hearing about, the R, and R is if you have exchanges to do. And if you have zim to redeem at the redemption center, then you should have your R and R institution, reclination allowance, or, I've heard it said restitution reconciliation allowance, that maybe have that at the redemption center, either in your  quantum account that is ready to be set up and activated by you when you go in, it's either there or it will be there after you do your exchange and you go to check it out.

It's an amount that could be substantial. I mean, it could be very high for certain people older you are more likely that it's that it's it's a greater amount.

The more taxes you paid, the more interest you've paid on on mortgages and credit card debt and bank loans and car loans and all that stuff. All of that is going to be in that one time lump sum payment for R and R.

Now I've heard different things on the DOGE payments for how long it will go? How it's being combined with Social Security. Social Security could get “renamed” something else. I'm not sure. I can't really, to me, it's up in the air. It's just going to happen. It's going to happen this month.

Don't be shocked if you see an amount in your bank account that's a lot higher from a Doge payment in especially in conjunction with your social security. They are using the same algorithm that they pay Social Security with to the doge. How it actually comes down? I’ve heard it three or four different ways, so I'd rather not put it out –

Similarly, I have heard that when we move our fund, when we have our quantum account set up, which will do that as part of our redemption appointment and our currency exchange. When we do that, we'll move money for the first six months that we need.

We'll move that into our primary Wells Fargo account, and then it's up to you to estimate what you want, what you think you'll need to put in that account to last you for two months, 60 days, two months,

Then on the 63rd day, I don't know why, 63/63 day, you're supposed to have access to all of it so that you can move it, you know, without asking them to allow you to move your money into your account, I'll just say it that way.

So the one good thing about money being left in your quantum account is nobody can see it, but you, unless you let somebody else see the screen, nobody knows how much you have in there.

Now, in conjunction with that, banks, yesterday, yesterday, which was Monday, the 31st yesterday was the day of what they're saying is called “digitalization”  with the banks.

Digitalization is designed where the banks are no longer going to be able to see. This is the theory of it. I can't prove it yet, but this is what it's supposed to be.

Our banks will no longer to see your account balance in your bank accounts, they're your that's your money and your accounts, and they won't be able to see the amounts that you have, and that's really good in case that you move millions and billions of dollars into your bank account, like your Wells, primary or secondary accounts, or another bank you got tied in that Only you can see the balance that you have,

I think it's a little bit unusual, but that's what it is. That's what it is. And I said, Well, if the in the banks are not supposed to use our money to make money, they're not supposed to use our money.

I said, Well, how? How are we supposed to how are the banks supposed to make money if they can't use our money to do it? And the answer came back that they're going to offer financial services, which I'm sure they'll offer some specialty services for us that are considered using Premier banking with Wells, basically high net worth individuals.

 And that would include, I'm sure it would include setting up of trusts. There'll be a charge for that. I guess you see, they do a certain amount of those for free, but I think now they're going to be desperate to make money.

So the other thing, so that you don't feel too bad about the banks, the bank will pick up decimal point, oh, two, 5% that's 20 5000s of 1% point 02  5% on our transaction, and the person that helps us in the redemption center will pick up point 025% to work with us

At the time of the exchange that will it doesn't really come off our side of the equation, which is kind of weird. It doesn't supposedly to come off of our balance. So there'll be, they'll be making money from us that way on the exchange. There won't be a ton of money. You hardly recognize it, but after you do a whole group for a week or two of zim holders and high currency holders, it turns into real money fast.

You know, all you have to do is look at the value of the Zim when you see a 10 t or 50 T or 100 T node. And you know that if you even only, if you only had 100 T o's and you took point, oh, two 5% of that, well that turns into real money. It really does. So banks are going to do that. They'll make some money on financial services.

They are going to get into the real estate game. They're going to make money on real estate, they're going to make money on insurance, and they're also going to make money buying and selling crypto coins.

And remember, the five crypto currencies that are all gold back are going to be, if you have it and you want to sell it at the time of your exchange, they will be able to pay you for The Crypto coins. You know, XRP, Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, Solano and Cardano, those are the five coins.

And of course, Bitcoin, I believe, has by far away, the highest value per coin, if I remember right, they will be able to transact that at the redemption centers, but the redemption centers will then sell those coins to the bank, so the banks will have a way to transact and make some some money with crypto coins. That's just real recent, like the last day or so that has been decided upon.

So a lot of the banks that we have now already turned into high wealth management type branches, some have closed, some have been sold to other banks. You know, there's going to be a little shake up in the banking system as we transact and go into this new world, but we've got the QFsystem, we've got the StarLink satellite system, we have the blockchain technology, the FinTech system.

They're all these systems that are integrated now and give you an opportunity to transact using your almost you don't have it yet, but the Q phone, you're supposed to be able to transact using the Q phone, which will be really interesting to make that happen, you're supposed to get a Q phone if you are a zim holder.

Zim holders are given the cue phone, and I have no idea how, what carrier we're going to using, or what if there's a monthly charge for it, how it's going to run, but they are true. Satellite phones connected to the Starlink satellite system, and you guys might remember when Elon Musk was asked by President Trump to help out people that were stranded in North Carolina with satellite phones. Those were phones that had connected through T Mobile to the Starlink satellite system.

So I don't know if T Mobile is going to be the carrier for the Q phone or not, but in that particular case, Elon worked it out with with T Mobile to work those phones for the people that were have self service or didn't have hard lines in western North Carolina and maybe other areas, but I just know western North Carolinas was the one that was seemingly the worst that flooding and there been fire come in after the flood, which is the weirdest thing, we could imagine –

and it does not it appears these fires, for the most part, were not naturally occurring from lightning strikes, but rather deep state fires that were set in South Carolina, behind Myrtle Beach, all the way over in that area, that South Carolina kind of wooded And behind Myrtle Beach behind the golf courses.

And, you know some of course, I remember so many barefoot landing golf courses there, and some of those there. I played some of those courses. I haven't played all of them still in Myrtle Beach. Something put on the bucket list, I've got probably 15 of those courses I’ve plasyed  probably play another probably play another 30 or 40 of them ,

So that is sort of where we stand on the whole banking  perspective and  coins and so on- The  tomorrow US the Liberation Day, as President Trump has called it, what are we going to be liberated from or liberated to? So it seems as what I'm hearing is the DOGE payments would start Wednesday, which is the second Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.Those three days is when they're supposed to go out.

Some may go check paper check drawn on the US Treasury  shouldn't have any trouble negotiating it, even though decent size checks – but most will get it by direct deposit. My understanding is, even if you're not on Social Security, but you have a bank account, it will go by direct deposit to your bank account and say, Well, how do they know it? They KNOW IT by your security number, okay, so that's how that will will come.

What else is happening?  Could we get an announcement  about NESARA  and GESARA tomorrow, on Liberation Day. Could we? I think it's quite possible. That’s what I’m hearing -  Yes, we should

We know the USN is  part of NESARA -  We know that tax relief and I mean NO Federal income taxes, no state income tax is part of NESARA. I believe some aspects of NESARA will take a while to roll out. I don't out in one or two or three days. I think they have to let it.

Let us get used to one or two things before they bring everything else out, but our asset backed currency, the USN and the USTN, United States Treasury note, the actual physical paper money, our new money is out already, and redemptions have it, and our banks have it, the USTN in the drawers in the vault, ready to the drawers.

But we don’t know exactly when its going to happen  - when, that's when we go for our changes -we should be able to get the new USTN currency which it is asset backed primarily with gold, but other assets should be able to get some of that at the redemption center, and they changed the amount that they would like us to take, but they're trying to hit the redemption center with more to make sure that they have enough.

Okay, because people get the new life. It doesn't matter that we have a ton of it. Could get two or $3,000 of it without a problem. I think, I think that's kind of where they want us to be, somewhere around them, more than three grand. You don't want to become a target for robbery or anything like that, so to always get more later on,

Let's see. All right, let's talk about what else should I have to say? Should we have two separate sources, is, and these are pretty strong sources, is that we should get our notifications by  email from the Wells Fargo servers  tomorrow by or around noon tomorrow, by or around  noon tomorrow, and that would bring the tomorrow into a whole new light for us, because then we would set our appointments, and maybe we don't exchange starting tomorrow, but maybe we start exchanging on Charlie Ward’s Thursday, because that that looks like what it right now. I don't have absolute on that, but we know we've got at least two, maybe three, sources that are saying our numbers are supposed to come out tomorrow.

I'd hoped to have had them today on the call tonight, but that did not happen, so we may end up doing a celebration call on Thursday, and that would be celebrating the fact that we started and we have our numbers that we started exchanges. If it happens Wednesday, Thursday, then we would have a short celebration call on Thursday.

Beyond that, guys, I think what's happening behind the scenes, they're continuing Clean up on aisle seven, eight and nine. That continues. It's going very successfully. And the bond holders are moving forward to they should have, I believe they should have access to funds tomorrow, is what I'm hearing. So we'll see. You know that has changed.

They have been moved just as many times as we have. And I'm looking forward to this going and for us moving, we are going to post the 800 number on our website, on the landing page. When we get it, I am supposed to get it first. I will put that out through Bob and through Raleigh on our website.

All right, so let's go ahead and pray the call out,  So thank you, everybody, and continue to believe this and pray it in tonight. And let's see if that prayer is answered for us tomorrow.
