RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sun. 27 April 2025

Compiled Sun. 27 April 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

NESARA: THE RESET BEGINS: NESARA, the National Economic Security and Recovery Act, delivers what the world has demanded for decades—a reset for the people:

All personal debts—gone. Credit cards, mortgages, loans wiped clean.

The IRS abolished. Income tax erased. A new flat sales tax replaces the corrupt system.

Seniors’ benefits increase, offering dignity to those who built the nation.

Constitutional law returns to the courts, restoring justice. This is the foundation of a new America, unshackled from the banking elite.

~~~~~~~~~~

GESARA: THE GLOBAL VISION: GESARA takes NESARA worldwide, reshaping every corner of the Earth.

Citizenship revoked for globalist operatives—barred from reentry for life.

A new Rainbow Currency, backed by precious metals, ends the era of fiat manipulation.

This is not reform—it’s global liberation.

THE HIDDEN TRUTHS EXPOSED: NESARA/GESARA aren’t just economic shifts—they unlock the hidden history:

Birth certificates, once sold as collateral, returned to the people.

The Federal Reserve dismantled. The Treasury takes control of the nation’s money.

Over 6,000 suppressed technologies—free energy, antigravity, healing machines—released to the world.

~~~~~~~~~~

Possible Timing:

Constitutional Law and the Gold Standard was set to return to all citizens (allegedly) around the Globe by Sat. 26 April 2025. In this new World unshackled from the banking elite 207 nations would function under concepts of the original Constitution and a restored justice system under NESARA/GESARA Law. …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram

A new gold/asset-backed currency for 207 nations that traded at a 1:1 with each other would end the era of fiat US Dollar manipulation – liberating the World, along with release of over 6,000 suppressed technologies including free energy, antigravity and healing machines.

Militia Man  They [Iraq] are talking about buying gold.  Gold is a hedge for the central bank.  They're  advocating that gold, even at close to $3,500 in the last few days, is going to go higher.  They're suggesting it's going to go to  $4,000 this year.

An Economist Reveals Three Hidden Reasons Behind The Market Recession.

Time: 2025/04/26 16:57:17 Read: 2,040 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Salah Nouri revealed today, Saturday, three reasons behind the current stagnation in Iraqi markets.

Nouri told Al Furat News, "The first reason is the rise in the prices of basic imported goods globally, which has had a direct impact on their prices in local markets when calculated in Iraqi dinars, making them beyond the reach of a wide segment of citizens."

He added, "The second reason relates to the fluctuations in the local dollar exchange rate, which has weakened the dinar's purchasing power and made low-income earners among the most affected groups due to their inability to keep up with rising prices."

Nouri pointed out that "the third reason is the decline in demand for basic commodities due to the decline in citizens' purchasing power, which has led to a general state of stagnation in markets, especially in areas with low incomes."  LINK

Central Bank: Visa And Mastercard Card Issue Abroad To Be Resolved Next Month

Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq  Banks  Economy News – Baghdad  Central Bank Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq announced on Saturday that the issue of Visa and MasterCard cards abroad will be resolved within the next month.

Al-Alaq said in press statements, followed by "Al-Eqtisad News," that "the Central Bank has completed the two tasks related to cash sales and foreign transfers, but the card crisis witnessed a state of "misunderstanding."

He explained, "When we headed to organize this process, it required a set of procedures that must be worked on, so that we put it in its correct direction and according to acceptable standards, and therefore there were some stops and some changes in the paths."

Al-Alaq said, "An agreement was reached with all concerned parties - which include "Visa" and "MasterCard" in coordination with the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the auditing company - on "the formulas and paths for settling these cards," stressing that "the Central Bank has taken rapid steps in this regard, expecting to complete this task within the next month, i.e. before the scheduled date for this process, which is June 1."

Al-Alaq revealed that "work has begun on developing a plan to issue cards to small merchants, after completing consultations with companies," "to accommodate the requests of merchants—a large segment of Iraqis—to cover their foreign trade without passing through long routes, so that transfers can be made directly, which will create a major shift in accommodating merchants who do not use formal transfer methods."

Al-Alaq indicated that "the Central Bank, in agreement and consultation with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, has completed the organization of cash sales of dollars, and is now 'in an ideal position, by their own testimony.'" He described foreign commercial transfers as "progressing very smoothly, as we have expanded the network of correspondent banks abroad in the US and elsewhere.

An agreement has also been reached to open another bank in the US to establish relationships with Iraqi banks in transfer operations."  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54852

Prime Minister's Advisor: Government Bonds Are A Better Investment Option Than Gold

Buratha News Agency1862025-04-25    The Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Friday that sovereign government bonds are available for investment through banking institutions, calling for diversifying investment portfolios by investing in government bonds instead of gold, as "local gold is one of the wealth havens most affected by external or international factors and their shocks, as it is a commodity imported from gold vaults outside the country,

as the global price of gold exceeded the $3,200 per ounce barrier in April 2025, affected by geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China, or the so-called trade war issue represented by the escalation of the mutual tariff war between various countries of the world and its direct and indirect effects on inflation trends and expectations in the global economy."

He added, "This coincided with indicators of the oil asset cycle, the downward trend in global oil prices, and the increasing demand for the yellow metal by central banks and investors seeking a safe haven for wealth around the world, as gold is undoubtedly the best store of value."

 He noted that "the price of gold, which has witnessed a significant and continuous rise, despite its fluctuations towards the decline, has maintained its high price. For example, the price of one ounce on April 17, 2025, reached approximately $3,321.89, after previously reaching a new record high of $3,357.40 per ounce."

Saleh explained that "the opening of the local gold market to the global market and the impact of the global price of gold on our country's supply has become an immediate reflexive issue. Until the local gold market stabilizes again, it may take a real period of time to adapt again."

He pointed out that "the short-term jumps in gold prices cast a shadow over the tendencies of individuals in our country and the behavior of some to hedge by investing in the yellow metal."

He continued: "Demand for gold in Iraq is a traditional means of preserving value, which leads to its purchase as a normal hedge, especially for those with cash surpluses, with the aim of profiting from the external price factors affecting the fluctuations in the international economy, and the impact of this on the level of global prices, and the repercussions of this on thinking about re-diversifying the wealth portfolios of some of them, or according to their beliefs and traditions in investing, preserving the value of their personal financial wealth, or speculating."

Saleh pointed out that "if the goal of importing is a safe investment, it is preferable to monitor global and local markets to make informed decisions, and to proceed with the proper diversification of their investment portfolios and not rely entirely on a single investment vehicle to preserve value, since gold is also subject to decline.

It is also preferable to consider other national investment options to diversify their investment portfolios, especially investing in interest-bearing sovereign government bonds currently offered to investors through the Iraqi banking system."  https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/459247

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BREAKING NEWS: FIRST XRP ETF GOES LIVE IN BRAZIL, NOT U.S

▪️Brazil becomes the first country to launch an XRP ETF, beating the United States.

▪️The XRPH11 ETF will give investors safe, easy, and regulated access to XRP investments.

▪️Experts predict XRP-related products could attract up to $8 billion in future, with XRP price to hit $24 soon.

XRP has just reached a major milestone with the launch of its first-ever ETF in Brazil. This exciting move could bring more investors into XRP and open the door for bigger developments in the United States.

With experts predicting that billions of dollars could soon flow into XRP products. However, this could pump the XRP price by 1000%.

First XRP ETF Goes Live in Brazil

In a big win for the XRP community, Brazil’s B3 stock exchange has launched the world’s first XRP ETF. The fund, called XRPH11, is managed by Hashdex and Genial Investimentos.

It will track the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index, making it easier for investors to gain safe and regulated exposure to XRP.

According to Hashdex, the ETF will invest at least 95% of its assets directly in XRP or in other products like futures contracts that copy XRP’s price movements. This setup allows both regular and big investors to invest in XRP without needing to own or store the cryptocurrency themselves.

Brazil Moves Ahead, US Still Waiting

Interestingly, this major step happened in Brazil, not in the United States, where Ripple is based. In the US, companies like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton have already filed for XRP ETFs, but they are still waiting for approval from the SEC.

Meanwhile, the demand for XRP-related investment products is growing fast. As of April 18, XRP-focused ETPs had about $950 million in assets under management, according to CoinShares. Just last week, XRP funds saw $37.7 million in new money, leading all other crypto funds.

Even bigger things could be on the horizon. JPMorgan predicted earlier this year that XRP products could pull in up to $8 billion — almost eight times more than today.

XRP Price Outlook

Even after this big news, XRP’s price hasn’t moved much. It is still trading around $2.20, with only a small 0.8% rise in the last 24 hours. But many believe that if an XRP ETF gets approved in the US, the price could shoot up.

Although XRP has been moving slowly for some time, signs are starting to look more exciting. In the past, when gold slowed down after a strong rally, XRP went up by 1,000%.

Now, with gold pulling back again, some experts think XRP could rise sharply and even reach $24 this year.

US CRYPTO RULES LIKE 'FLOOR IS LAVA' GAME WITHOUT LIGHTS — HESTER PEIRCE

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said that to engage in crypto activities, “SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next.”

SEC Commissioner and head of the crypto task force, Hester Peirce, says US financial firms are navigating crypto in a way that’s similar to playing the children’s game “the floor is lava,” but in the dark.

“It is time that we find a way to end this game. We need to turn on the lights and build some walkways over the lava pit,” Peirce said at the SEC “Know Your Custodian” roundtable event on April 25.

The lava is crypto, says Peirce

Peirce explained that SEC registrants are forced to approach crypto-related activities like “the floor is lava,” where the aim is to jump from one piece of furniture to the next without touching the ground, except here, touching crypto directly is the lava.

“A D.C. version of this game is our regulatory approach to crypto assets, and crypto asset custody in particular,” she said.

Peirce said that, much like in the game, firms wanting to engage with crypto must avoid directly holding it due to unclear regulatory rules. “To engage in crypto-related activities, SEC-registrants have had to hop from one poorly illuminated regulatory space to the next, all while ensuring that they never touch any crypto asset,” Peirce said.

Peirce said that investment advisers are often unsure which crypto assets qualify as securities, what entities count as qualified custodians, and whether “exercising staking or voting rights” could trigger custody violations.

“The twist in the regulatory version is that it is largely played in the dark: burning legal lava and no lamps to illuminate the way.”

Peirce also said that a broker or ATS that cannot custody or manage crypto assets will struggle to facilitate trading, making it unlikely for a “robust market” to develop.

Echoing a similar sentiment, SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said at the event that as more SEC registrants work with crypto assets, it’s essential that they have access to custodial options that meet legal and regulatory requirements.

Uyeda said the agency should consider letting advisers use “state-chartered limited-purpose trust companies” with the authority to hold crypto assets as qualified custodians.

Meanwhile, the recently sworn-in chair of the SEC, Paul Atkins, said that he expected “huge benefits” from blockchain technology through efficiency, risk mitigation, transparency, and cutting costs.

He reiterated that among his goals at the SEC would be to facilitate “clear regulatory rules of the road” for digital assets, hinting that the agency under former chair Gary Gensler had contributed to market and regulatory uncertainty.

“I look forward to engaging with market participants and working with colleagues in President Trump’s administration and Congress to establish a rational fit-for-purpose framework for crypto assets,” said Atkins.

Tishwash:  Fitch Ratings: Iraqi banks will not be harmed by the decline in oil prices.

Fitch Ratings confirmed on Saturday that the Iraqi banking sector is not affected by the decline in oil prices due to its lower credit rating.

The agency said in a report seen by Shafaq News Agency that "the indirect effects resulting from the decline in oil prices and weak global growth may lead to a decline in government spending, severely impacting banking operating conditions in most Gulf and Middle Eastern countries."

She added, "The banking sector in Iraq has low credit ratings, with most banks classified as CCC. These ratings are unlikely to be affected by the negative impact of lower oil prices, especially given the central bank's strong ability to support government spending."

The agency noted that "credit conditions in Gulf banks could also deteriorate if profitability and cash flows decline for companies operating in affected sectors. However, they are well-positioned to absorb any deterioration in the operating environment, thanks to the strengthening of their financial reserves in recent years."

Fitch Ratings is one of the largest global rating agencies. Founded in 1914 and headquartered in New York and London, its mission is to assess the creditworthiness of countries and companies and provide reports that help investors determine the risks of loans and investments.

Fitch is one of the world's top three rating agencies, along with Standard & Poor's and Moody' link

"A transition that is happening for the first time"

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Investment Affairs, Mohammed al-Najjar, affirmed on Saturday that Iraq has become an attractive environment for Turkish investments, noting that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has succeeded in transforming trade relations with Türkiye into investment opportunities.

Iraq is the first country in which Turkey will invest,” Al-Najjar said in a statement to the official agency, followed by 964 Network. “It is well known that Turkey is the one looking for investment opportunities and requesting investments, but we have succeeded, through government measures, in attracting investment environments in Iraq.” He pointed out that “the opportunities created by the Prime Minister have made Iraq an attractive country for Turkish companies, which constitutes an important platform for a large number of countries to enter and invest in the opportunities available in Iraq.”

He added that "the entry of Turkish investments into Iraq represents a turning point in relations between the two countries. This is the first time that relations have shifted from a commercial aspect to an investment aspect." He pointed out that "there are multiple areas for Turkey to invest in Iraq, including infrastructure, roads, energy, and communications, all of which represent significant opportunities for Turkish companies that have begun to invest, not just in contracting or commercial operations."

Al-Najjar explained that "Iraq has worked to transform its relationship with Türkiye into an investment relationship, including a path to development, which will constitute a fundamental pillar for Turkey as a starting point for investment."  link

The Planned Economic Reset: Greg Mannario

The Planned Economic Reset

Liberty and Finance:  4-27-2025

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, renowned trading coach Gregory Mannarino delivered a stark and unsettling assessment of the current economic landscape, painting a picture of deliberate market manipulation, government incoherence, and the insidious control exerted by global elites.

Mannarino’s analysis, both alarming and galvanizing, serves as a stark warning about the future and a call to action for individuals seeking to reclaim their sovereignty.

Mannarino pulls no punches in his critique, suggesting that even seemingly populist leaders like President Trump are ultimately beholden to the whims of the stock market, a market itself heavily influenced by unseen powers.

He points to Trump’s often-conflicting economic messaging and policy reversals, particularly around tariffs and interest rates, as evidence of a system driven by stock market pressures and orchestrated by forces beyond the purview of everyday citizens.

The core of Mannarino’s argument rests on the conviction that the global financial system is teetering on the brink of collapse, fueled by an unsustainable mountain of debt, artificially suppressed interest rates, and a looming shift towards centralized digital control.

He describes the current system as a deliberate “wrecking machine,” intentionally designed to cripple the middle class and small businesses, paving the way for a new, more easily controlled global order.

He highlights the deceptive nature of “prosperity” metrics, arguing that the apparent economic gains are built on a foundation of sand, propped up by unsustainable debt and manipulated numbers.

He warns that the inherent fragility of this system makes it vulnerable to a sudden and catastrophic collapse, the consequences of which will be far-reaching and devastating for ordinary people.

In the face of this grim outlook, Mannarino advises viewers to take proactive steps to protect themselves. He strongly advocates for holding real assets, particularly gold and silver, as a hedge against the inevitable devaluation of fiat currencies. He emphasizes that tangible wealth, insulated from the digital machinations of the financial system, offers a vital pathway to security in times of crisis.

However, Mannarino’s message extends far beyond mere financial preparedness. He calls for a profound shift in consciousness and a concerted effort to reclaim individual sovereignty. He urges listeners to resist the narratives pushed by main stream media and to seek out independent sources of truth.

He believes that the key to dismantling the control of global elites lies in awakening to their agenda and refusing to participate in their system of manipulation.

Beyond resistance, Mannarino emphasizes the importance of unity, spiritual reconnection, and grassroots organizing. He believes that by coming together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other, individuals can build alternative systems and communities that are resilient to the coming changes. He sees a renewed connection to spirituality as a source of strength and guidance in navigating the complex and challenging times ahead.

Ultimately, Gregory Mannarino’s message is one of both warning and hope. While he paints a sobering picture of the forces arrayed against individual freedom and economic stability, he also offers a powerful call to action.

He believes that by awakening to the truth, reclaiming our sovereignty, and uniting in purpose, we can not only survive the coming storm but also build a more just and equitable future.

His call to arms is one of informed resistance, spiritual awakening, and collective action, a path towards reclaiming our lives and shaping our destiny.

Clare:  Baghdad calls on Washington to reconsider travel warnings, while the latter praises billion-dollar agreements.

4/26/2025

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein called on the United States on Friday to reconsider its security warnings regarding travel to Iraq.

This came during Hussein's meeting with his US counterpart, Marco Rubio, in Washington.

Hussein said, "The security situation in Iraq is good and represents an additional factor attracting foreign investment. Some European countries have reconsidered their security assessments in Iraq," according to a statement issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He stressed the importance of enhancing security cooperation and information exchange in the fight against terrorism, and praised Washington's role as the leader of the international coalition against ISIS.

Regarding developments in Syria, the Iraqi Foreign Minister called for the launch of a comprehensive political process that respects the rights of all Syrian components and contributes to strengthening regional stability. He noted that Syrian stability has a positive impact on Iraqi security, and that the underlying causes of concern in Syria must be addressed.

He also called for caution in dealing with prisons controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which hold approximately 10,000 of the most dangerous ISIS members.

On the economic front, the minister emphasized that Iraq has begun diversifying its energy sources and reducing its reliance on imported gas. He also called on American companies to increase their investments in the country.

The statement continued: "Both sides expressed optimism about the future of relations, and Fuad Hussein praised the role of the United States and its leadership of the international coalition to combat terrorism."

For his part, Secretary Rubio affirmed his country's commitment to supporting stability in Iraq and praised the joint efforts in the war against ISIS.

In a similar vein, according to the statement, the two sides discussed "opportunities to strengthen economic and trade partnerships. They commended the recent visit of a delegation of American businessmen and private sector leaders to Iraq, and the opportunity it provided to enhance economic cooperation between the two countries in the public and private sectors."

For his part, a US State Department statement stated that the two ministers discussed the importance of Iraqi sovereignty in achieving regional security and stability. The two ministers commended Iraq's efforts to promote regional calm and constructive dialogue.

Ministers Rubio and Hussein also discussed opportunities to expand economic cooperation and increase trade and investment between the United States and Iraq.

Rubio praised Iraq for hosting the first trade mission appointed by the U.S. Department of Commerce to Baghdad earlier this month, resulting in billions of dollars in agreements with American companies.LINK

Sandy Ingram  We are all waiting for a payday from our IQD investment regardless of how long it takes.  I personally have been so disappointed and upset over the time it is taking Iraq to revalue, float or whatever they are going to do with their currency...The more research I do the more I understand why it is taking so long...Hidden behind the curtains, the US is
embedded right in the middle of the delay.  Hopefully the rumors are true that the current administration is trying to help Iraq change things...

MarkZ   [via PDK]   Article:   “Iraqi delegations holds talks with the bank and the international Monetary Fund in Washington”  There is a high level delegation meeting with our Administration from Iraq right now in DC.  They are holding talks with the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the international Monetary Fund (IMF)...and they have cleared the last hurdle for ascension in the World Trade organization as a full blown member. Many have stated for years now that we should have a new rate on the dinar before they ascend. So all these talks are very encouraging to me.

However, we have succeeded, through government measures, in attracting investment environments in Iraq."

He added that "the entry of Turkish investments into Iraq represents a turning point in relations between the two countries. This is the first time that relations have shifted from the commercial aspect to the investment aspect."

Economic expert Ikram Abdel Aziz: The tourism sector is no less important than oil...and its resources are inexhaustible.
 
Friday, April 25, 2025 21:48 | Economic     Number of readings: 264  Baghdad/ NINA / Economic expert Ikram Abdel Aziz called for better investment in the tourism sector and benefiting from its large financial returns.
 
She told the Iraqi National News Agency ( NINA ):
 
"The tourism sector provides an
 
     inexhaustible income and is an
     important source no less important than oil, as
 
it adds quick revenues that are 
free from the risks of falling and rising prices. In addition,
 
it does not take a long time to bear fruit, 
as in the trend towards the industrial and agricultural sectors.
 
Its revenues come when the infrastructure is available for it, and the
 
factors supporting the visitors are available, as
 
it will achieve support for the national economy."  She explained:
 
"The public financial revenues of the tourism sector in Iraq constitute 3% of the gross domestic product, which is small and does not match the investment opportunities available for this vital and pioneering sector."  The economic expert added:
 
"The tourism sector previously wasn't at the level it had hoped for,
 
but it's now experiencing a major renaissance, particularly religious tourism, which could contribute to boosting federal budget funding with revenues beyond the unilateral developmental cycle of oil."  She pointed out that,
 
according to statistics, the most visited Iraqi governorates are Karbala and Najaf in first place, followed by Baghdad, Erbil, Basra and Dhi Qar, respectively, and the tourists who visited these cities came from about 80 countries during the past year,
 
calling for  attention to other types of tourism such as medical and cultural tourism, and the
     preparation of tourist guides with a high level of culture and knowledge. 

She continued:  "Among the things that support the development of the Iraqi tourism sector are
 
     providing safe means of transportation,
     providing electrical supplies to hotels and other places, and
     improving the quality of communications for visitors, as  these represent an effective element in attracting tourists."
 
Economic expert Dr. Ikram Abdel Aziz concluded her speech by saying:
 
“When we put in place the infrastructure to support the reception of large numbers of delegations, 
Iraq will have succeeded in attracting financial revenues by developing such an activity, 
which makes it occupy a distinguished position in terms of revenues, and this trend represents one of the goals of economic and social development.” / End T     https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1200130

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FEDERAL RESERVE RELAXES STANCE ON BANK CRYPTO ACTIVITIES

The Federal Reserve has withdrawn four crypto-asset related advisories, including ones that required banks to inform the Fed of planned activities in advance or receive a non objection letter. The two other main federal banking regulators, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) had already cancelled the requirements to get permission.

It follows a letter from Republican members of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee earlier this month requesting the withdrawal of the letters. They characterized the supervisory non objection process as a method to “stonewall financial institutions” and prevent them from engaging with distributed ledger technology (DLT).

The FDIC’s responses to freedom of information requests, combined with the lack of services launched by banks, largely support this assertion.

Oversight will now happen through the normal Fed supervisory process. The Federal Reserve statement says, “the Board will work with the agencies (FDIC, OCC) to consider whether additional guidance to support innovation, including crypto-asset activities, is appropriate.”

“Today’s announcement from the Fed and FDIC is a welcome and important step toward achieving that goal and ensuring consumers can access these products and services through their trusted bank relationships,” said American Bankers Association President and CEO Rob Nichols. “We look forward to working with the Fed and FDIC in this fast-evolving marketplace.”

The withdrawn letters

The first withdrawn letter was issued in 2022 and required Board supervised banking organizations to notify the Federal Reserve prior to engaging in digital asset activities. The 2023 letter, SR 23-8 established a supervisory non objection process for state member banks involved with tokens using distributed ledger technology.

The withdrawal also included two joint 2023 letters issued by the Fed, FDIC and OCC that were more cautionary in nature. In fairness, their timing made sense. The crypto crash that followed the 2022 collapse of the Terra algorithmic stablecoin, resulted in the mass withdrawal of funds at Silvergate Bank, which alarmed the regulators.

Shortly after these letters, Silicon Valley Bank collapsed, which was unrelated to crypto. However, there were assertions that the collapse of Signature Bank around the same time was partly related to crypto, an issue that bank executives disputed.

In addition to the banking regulators, the CFTC and SEC have also adopted different approaches to crypto under the new Trump administration. While the SEC took an extreme stance under the Biden administration, it remains to be seen whether the pendulum swings too far the other way.

For example, the SEC washed its hands of supervising most meme coins. But some critics, including popular podcaster Joe Rogan, have expressed shock that meme coin pump and dump scams remain largely unregulated

CARDANO FOUNDER CONFIRMS XRP INTEGRATION, FRUSTRATED BY CHAINLINK DELAYS

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson used the closing minutes of a wide-ranging “ask-me-anything” session on Wednesday to give the community a granular look at two long-running alliance talks that have often generated more speculation than substance:

▪️a multisided collaboration with Ripple’s XRP ecosystem
▪️an oracle integration with Chainlink.

Hoskinson, responding to a viewer who asked, “Charles, are partnerships of Ripple and Chainlink still being discussed?”, made it clear that progress has been uneven. “Ripple, yes. Chainlink we’re working hard on that,” he said.

XRP Integration Makes Progress

On Ripple, Hoskinson sounded decidedly upbeat, describing a concrete roadmap that reaches from native wallet support to token distribution and a new role for Ripple’s forthcoming RLUSD stablecoin. He confirmed that “we’re going to add XRP support for Lace, so if you’re an XRP user you can hold your XRP in the Lace wallet,” referring to IOG’s flagship light wallet launched last year.

He went further, noting that “XRP is going to be part of the Midnight airdrop,” the privacy-focused sidechain announced by Input Output Global. Even the stablecoin is on the table: “we’re in talks with RLUSD so I mean, uh, that’s as good as it gets,” he said, hinting that Cardano infrastructure might natively support Ripple’s fiat-pegged asset.

Hoskinson attributed the new momentum partly to personal rapport inside Ripple’s technical brain-trust. “David Schwarz just invited me to speak at one of their conferences and we’re on very good terms,” he disclosed.

The founder also revealed that “the Flare [Network] people want to come to Cardano and do oracles with us,” underscoring that the partnership has broadened beyond Ripple and broadens to the entire XRP Ledger ecosystem.

sed that relations remain cordial—“I have [Sergey] Nazarov’s private number… we meet and we’re like ‘Yeah, we need to work together’”—the substance of the collaboration still hangs in limbo.

Chainlink, he explained, “has us on the list for integration” and is migrating to “some new framework that’s kind of like Rosetta with Coinbase to do these integrations.” The result is a moving target: “for some reason it’s just always like three to six months off.”

Hoskinson dismissed any notion that the delay stems from politics or money. “There’s no component of it where there’s an interpersonal issue… there’s no component where there’s an economic issue,” he insisted. Instead, he pointed to Chainlink’s bifurcated codebase—“they have like a legacy way of doing it [and] they’re moving towards a new way”—which makes it “hard to predict… what the integration’s going to take.”

Even staffing up the effort has not forced the process across the finish line. “No matter how many people I throw at it… it just, for some reason, doesn’t get over the line,” he admitted, conceding that Cardano is “kind of in this no man’s land” while it waits for Chainlink’s next-generation tooling to stabilize.

Despite the frustration, Hoskinson reiterated his desire for Chainlink to become a premier oracle on Cardano, though he added that “there’s also Pyth [Network] and then there’s Flare and others” in play. He softened the critique with an anecdote about the two founders’ similarities, quipping that “Sergey and I… have the same fashion style, we have the same beard, we’re the same body mass… there’s no bad blood.”

Restored Republic:

Fri. 25 April 2025 The long-awaited announcement regarding the official launch of NESARA is on the horizon. … on Telegram

A Global Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) will (allegedly) soon activate, broadcasting a coordinated message worldwide. The transmission will initiate a 10–12 day global lockdown, during which all media outlets will air documentaries revealing the full truth behind the events of recent years—military operations, covert arrests, seized assets, and systemic corruption.

During this period, every citizen will be (allegedly) asked to stay indoors during a designated 5-hour window, as directed by the EBS. This isn’t fear—it’s clarity. The world is about to learn what really happened.

At the conclusion of this global disclosure phase, a secured 800-number will (allegedly)  be provided, allowing people to schedule appointments to set up their Quantum Financial Accounts (QFS). These accounts will (allegedly) receive direct deposits as part of global wealth redistribution—returning stolen funds to the people, including trust assets and savings long withheld by the Cabal.

In recent weeks, nearly 75 banks have been seized, and Cabal-owned accounts closed, with their assets moved to the QFS. These moves have been intentionally quiet—until now.

Every Central Bank has transitioned to ISO 20022, the QFS’s international standard, ensuring traceability and eliminating fraud. Traditional bank accounts are now backed by this new transparent system. Investments and stocks will soon migrate as well, once final approval is given.

Yes, the Stock Market crash is real—but it’s not your destruction. It’s the end of their system and the beginning of yours.

Your savings, pensions, and funds are safe and secured in the new system. The originally planned date of March 1st may shift slightly due to Julian calendar adjustments, but nothing can stop what’s coming.

The world is about to witness the greatest transfer of wealth and power in human history.

Be ready. The countdown is real.

Tishwash:  Automation, economic reforms, and waste management top the agenda at Iraq's meeting with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

A high-level Iraqi delegation held talks with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C.,  on automation, economic reforms, and waste management.

A statement from the Ministry of Finance received by ( IQ ) stated that "Minister of Finance Taif Sami Mohammed, Governor of the Central Bank Ali Al-Alaq, and the accompanying delegation participated in the annual spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund held in the US capital, Washington, to discuss global economic challenges, economic development, financial stability, and other related issues, in addition to plenary sessions, seminars, and side consultations ."

Tishwash:  The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor talks about gold demand and prices.

The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained the reasons for the increased demand for gold in Iraq, as well as its impact on global prices.

Saleh stated that "local gold is one of the wealth havens most affected by external or international factors and shocks, as it is a commodity imported from gold vaults abroad. The global price of gold exceeded the $3,200 per ounce barrier in April 2025, affected by geopolitical tensions, especially between the United States and China, or the so-called trade war issue represented by the escalation of the mutual tariff war between various countries of the world and its direct and indirect effects on inflation trends and expectations in the global economy."

 He pointed out that "this coincided with indicators of the oil asset cycle, the downward trend in global oil prices, as well as the increasing demand for the yellow metal by central banks and investors seeking a safe haven for wealth around the world, as gold is undoubtedly the best store of value." He explained that "the price of gold, which has witnessed a significant and continuous rise, despite its fluctuations towards the decline, has maintained its high price. For example, the price of one ounce on April 17, 2025, reached approximately $3,321.89, after previously reaching a new record high of $3,357.40 per ounce."

Saleh said, "The opening of the local gold market to the global market and the impact of global gold prices on our country's supply has become an immediate reflexive issue. Until the local gold market stabilizes again, it may take a long time to adapt again." He pointed out that "the short-term jumps in gold prices cast a shadow over the tendencies of individuals in our country and the behavior of some to hedge their investments in the yellow metal."

He pointed out that "the demand for gold in Iraq is a traditional means of preserving value, which leads to its purchase as a normal hedge, especially for those with cash surpluses, with the aim of profiting from the external price factors affecting the fluctuations in the international economy, and the impact of this on the level of global prices, and the repercussions of this on thinking about re-diversifying the wealth portfolios of some of them, or according to their beliefs and traditions in investing, preserving the value of their personal financial wealth, or speculating."

He explained that "if the goal of importing is a safe investment, it is preferable to monitor global and local markets to make informed decisions, and to properly diversify their investment portfolios and not rely entirely on a single investment vehicle to preserve value, as gold is also subject to decline.

 It is also preferable to consider other national investment options to diversify their investment portfolios, especially investing in interest-bearing sovereign government bonds currently offered to investors through the Iraqi banking system." link
