Mnt Goat What will the new rate of the dinar most likey be like when it does come out? To answer this question just listen to what the CBI has been telling us. They are trying to bring back the Iraqi dinar to a rate of something like in the 1980’s. So what was the rate back then? [In 1980 the dinar was $3.39]
Militia Man Iraq has said they're was going to be the launch of the digital dinar...Alaq has stated the deletion of the zeros project still exists. He's already stated they were ready to or going to launch a digital dinar, a CBDC. Iraq is not going to do that by themselves. I've been talking about inner-connectivity because I set the stage for everything to take place, approval from...all those stakeholders [The World Bank, US Treasury, IMF, US Federal Reserve, Regional central banks].
Gold Market Volatility Will Increase Into The Endgame | Rafi Farber
Liberty and Finance: 5-27-2025
Rafi Farber discusses the European Central Bank's concerns about leverage in the gold market, arguing that such focus reveals gold's continued systemic importance.
He explains that gold price suppression is not necessarily the result of conscious manipulation, but rather a natural byproduct of the fiat monetary system, which he believes inherently undervalues gold.
Farber warns that global debt markets, especially long-term bonds, are cracking under structural pressure, signaling the approach of a broader financial "end game."
Ultimately, Farber emphasizes the importance of preparing for systemic collapse through calm, informed stacking of precious metals and a clear understanding of economic history.

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 everyone, good morning mods, good morning Markz
Member: Any word from bond holders?
MZ: Its painful how quiet its gotten
Member: Mark, it’s been quiet with the bond holders before. Is this “quiet” different than before?
MZ: Well last week they told me they finished their final paperwork and were just waiting on funds….so that’s different
Member: Lets hope its strict NDA’s and we are very close.
Member: Mark. heard the rumor Bonds are waiting for their money. they are all done 4a is also done
Member: some people are saying the RV went through. I don’t believe it unless I see it with my own eyes. Could they be hidingit from the whole world?
MZ: yes keep waiting until you see it with your own eyes. No I don’t think they could hide it.
Member: Mark, I did catch a screenshot of my currency converter this AM with IQD at 1.19 USD before they changed it back.
MZ: What I learned over the “FX-VU Strategic Release memo- $4.8101 IQD Anchor and Post Forex Convergence” screenshot (shows a picture of the article) so far is it is not a government article. But it does represent a researchers tremendous amount of work
MZ: It has led to us tracking down other things that are pointing at it. There are many indicators towards this. My hat is off to whoever did this research. There is supporting evidence that they may be dead on concerning the rate projection…which has me very excited.
MZ: Somebody may have spent hundreds of hours putting this together. My researchers are still looking at it and it has opened up ways to go in different directions with this. .
Member: TNT mentioned the rate could be $4.81 a couple of weeks ago.
Member: Will gold and silver RV before the currencies?
Member: DeSantis signs Gold and silver as legal tender.
Member: Texas already has that as legal tender also
Member: There are quite a few states with Goldbacks now
Member: Funny how my bank now ask me if I still have my IQD, and what am I going to do with them when time comes.
Member: Maybe Iraq is doing a slow float with the parallel market
MZ: “Reasons for the continuous decline in dollar exchange rates in Iraq” CBI economists say its because they have made tremendous changes in Iraq to bring monetary stability. They expect it to continue to increase the dinar value. I think we are about to see the CBI to make a substantial change in the value of the dinar.
MZ: “Government advisor responds to Parliament: No financial crisis in Iraq” Saleh knows how to throw a cherry on top of a sundae. He breaks it down where the numbers are at with the fluctuations in the oil market and cycles since 2014.
MZ: “Al Atwani: Iraq’s involvement in the International Financial system is no longer an option, but a necessity to enhance confidence in the national economy” this is about them going fully international without any restrictions. Which means a fully international currency.
Member: Mark in you humble but "Expert" opinion- what do you think is the holdup to this thing?
Member: I think the Big Beautiful Bill is a switch in the big Reset of GCR GESARA and NESARA.
Member: Here we are again... last Wednesday of another month that's about to bite the dust....I keep my fingers crossed an RV will happen soon.
Member: Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and information. Have a great day today.

Ariel: Iraqi Dinar Update, Preload Rate of $4.81

Get The Gun Ships Going
Iraqi Dinar Update
Here is my opinion on it. Listen, it’s a lot.
This document is not meant to be the gospel. This was a very well done analysis. Nothing more. And I will tell you why I agree with it. Remember, the entire document was never posted. Many people are making final judgments on an excerpt.
Point 1
Specialized systems or telemetry layers within foreign exchange infrastructures often operate behind closed doors, especially for currencies like the IQD, which are heavily controlled by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI). FX-VU could be an internal designation for a rate management or suppression system used by CBI or its partners, not intended for public disclosure.
Another point overlooks historical context and economic potential. Before the 1991 Gulf War, the IQD was valued at $3.2169 per USD, a rate maintained until sanctions and war devalued it. A $4.8101 rate, while high, is not unprecedented for a resource-rich nation like Iraq, which holds the world’s fifth-largest proven oil reserves (145 billion barrels as of 2023).
The memo’s mention of “suppressed placeholder” rates ($1.310 IQD/USD) versus the “true preloaded value” ($4.8101) mirrors real-world practices where official rates differ from internal targets during revaluation planning. The CBI has a history of managing dual rates (official vs. black market), as seen in 2023 when the official rate was 1,300 IQD/USD, but the parallel market rate hit 1,570 IQD/USD. This discrepancy supports the memo’s claim of suppression layers.
Point 2
Lack of SWIFT, BIS, IMF, or ICE Integration Is Not a Dealbreaker:
If you are a skeptic and have an issue with the highlights the memo’s lack of integration with SWIFT, BIS, IMF, or ICE, suggesting this proves its illegitimacy. However, the IQD is not widely traded on global FOREX markets and is primarily managed by the CBI, which fixes its rate. Integration with these systems would be necessary for public trading, but the memo specifies the rate is in “backend indicators” and “not yet unmasked,” meaning it’s prepped internally, not rolled out globally.
Iraq’s financial system operates under strict controls, with dollars held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ($120B in reserves as of 2023). The CBI’s focus has been on de-dollarization and anti-money laundering measures, not global market integration. The memo’s lack of mention of SWIFT or IMF doesn’t negate its claims about an internal revaluation process.
Point 3
The Memo’s Rate Display Aligns with Insider Practices:
Some are mocking the memo for showing the current rate ($1.310 IQD/USD) as if it’s not hidden intel, since it’s visible on http://XE.com. However, the memo’s point is to contrast the public placeholder rate with the backend $4.8101 rate, which is not publicly visible. This dual-rate strategy is consistent with how central banks manage revaluations to prevent market panic, as seen in Iraq’s 2023 revaluation from 1,460 to 1,300 IQD/USD.
The memo’s screenshot of the ICE listing (bid/ask spread of $0.000759–$0.000767) serves to highlight the suppressed rate, not to leak “hidden intel.” It’s a technical confirmation of the current system state, which an insider would use to validate the revaluation process. Nothing to be tricky about. Again, it was just a point that needed to be made.
Mind you I am only giving you my opinion on the 1st page. So you can imagine how much you do not know about what is going on. I told you all before I would not upload something of this magnitude without having a good reason.
There’s about two more pages missing I believe. But here is more from the 1st image that went around. I will try to cover this as well.
Horton Forest: So here’s some images to help people going forward. I don’t wanna put up the PDF, but I am more than happy to place these images.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
De-dollarization: SCO Nations Shift 92% of Trade Away from U.S. Dollar
De-dollarization is accelerating dramatically right now as Shanghai Cooperation Organization members are reducing their United States dollar dependency in international trade. SCO nations have also successfully implemented currency substitution strategies, with Russia reporting that national currencies now account for over 92% of trade settlements with fellow member states, and this marks a historic shift away from dollar-dominated global commerce.
“Our countries are increasing the use of national currencies in mutual settlements. For example, their share in Russia’s commercial transactions with members of the organization has already exceeded 92% in the first four months of this year.”
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
De-dollarization: SCO Nations Shift 92% of Trade Away from U.S. Dollar
De-dollarization is accelerating dramatically right now as Shanghai Cooperation Organization members are reducing their United States dollar dependency in international trade. SCO nations have also successfully implemented currency substitution strategies, with Russia reporting that national currencies now account for over 92% of trade settlements with fellow member states, and this marks a historic shift away from dollar-dominated global commerce.
“Our countries are increasing the use of national currencies in mutual settlements. For example, their share in Russia’s commercial transactions with members of the organization has already exceeded 92% in the first four months of this year.”
How SCO Nations, BRICS, and Currency Substitution Are Driving De-dollarization Trends
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s coordinated approach to de-dollarization represents a fundamental shift in global financial architecture right now.
This massive economic bloc, which encompasses China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also Uzbekistan, controls approximately 42% of the world’s population and represents significant economic power that’s driving currency substitution initiatives across the region.
Putin also noted the broader economic success of SCO nations:
“The average GDP growth of the member countries of our organization last year amounted to more than 5%, industrial production to 4.5%, while the inflation rate is only 2.4%. At the same time, Russia’s trade with the SCO states has increased by a quarter.”
SCO’s Strategic De-dollarization Implementation
The de-dollarization movement within SCO represents more than just statistical changes—it also reflects systematic policy coordination among member nations at the time of writing. Putin emphasized Russia’s commitment to expanding non-dollar payment mechanisms, and he’s proposing an independent SCO settlement system that would further reduce United States dollar dependency.
BRICS nations are working closely with SCO countries to implement currency substitution across multiple economic sectors right now. China’s yuan has emerged as a primary alternative currency, while bilateral trade agreements are increasingly favoring national currencies over traditional dollar-denominated transactions, and this trend is gaining momentum.
The coordination between SCO nations and also BRICS members amplifies de-dollarization effects globally. These interconnected economic blocs represent countries that are seeking financial sovereignty through currency substitution, and they’re reducing exposure to United States dollar volatility and potential sanctions.
Putin highlighted the strategic importance of this transition:
“Regular meetings of economy and finance ministers and governors of central banks made a weighty contribution to the development of trade and investment in the SCO.”
Oil-producing nations that were traditionally tied to petrodollar systems are now exploring alternatives. Saudi Arabia’s openness to yuan-denominated oil transactions with China exemplifies how even traditional dollar allies are considering currency substitution options right now.
Since almost all of the trade settlements within the SCO avoid the dollar, this achievement shows that large-scale de-dollarization works well. This action by leading economies is now challenging the United States dollar’s long-standing place in global trade and it may play a major role in reshaping financial systems over the next few decades.

WisdomTree’s XRP ETF Approval Bid Gains Momentum with SEC Review
▪️SEC begins review of WisdomTree’s proposed spot XRP ETF, sparking optimism and driving XRP’s price to $2.30.
▪️Ripple pushes back on security claims as ETF approval could mark a turning point for XRP's regulatory and institutional future.
XRP is making noise in the market again, now trading around $2.30. Investors are getting bullish as excitement builds over a potential U.S. spot ETF approval. The market is responding with optimism, seeing the move as a major step toward broader institutional access and legitimacy for the token.
Though XRP cleared the securities tag partially, a final court judgement is awaited; however, the pace SEC is going with XRP ETFs, it seems all is under control and approval is on the way.
SEC Opens Door for XRP Spot ETF
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially started reviewing the WisdomTree XRP Trust, a proposed spot ETF that would allow investors to gain exposure to XRP without owning the token directly. This would be the first U.S.-based spot XRP ETF, potentially laying the groundwork for other crypto ETFs in the future.
Filed by Cboe BZX Exchange, the ETF aims to mirror the price of XRP via the CME CF Ripple-Dollar Reference Rate. If approved, it would enable XRP trading through traditional brokerage accounts, eliminating the need for crypto wallets or private keys.
Investor Protection at Play
As part of the process, the SEC has published a notice under Release No. 34-103124, calling for public feedback. The agency wants input on whether the product protects investors and how it plans to tackle market manipulation concerns. The Commission has 240 days to decide whether to approve or reject the application.
At the same time, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, fired back at the SEC’s broader crypto stance. In a recent letter to the agency’s crypto taskforce, he urged clearer rules, stating that XRP is not a security. He warned that vague regulatory terms like “decentralized” or “fully functional” only add confusion for both issuers and market participants.
With the SEC’s clock ticking and public comment now open, all eyes are on how the Commission handles this groundbreaking application. For now, bullish sentiment is picking up, and XRP’s rally suggests that traders are betting big on a regulatory breakthrough.

5 Suze Orman Money Tips For a Financial Fresh Start
Nicole Spector Tue, May 27, 2025 GOBankingRates
Financial guru Suze Orman has long been dedicated to helping the average American reach financial freedom. In an article posted on Oprah.com, Orman delved into 10 of her top tips on how to get a fresh financial start, which can help you get your finances on track.
GOBankingRates highlighted five of Orman’s standout, practical and realistic tips.
Break the Cycle of Self-Blame So You Can Move Forward
When we’re struggling to stay above financial waters, it’s all too easy to get sucked into a spiral of self blame. And look, you may be partly to blame for being in a bad place with your finances.
Maybe you went a little too wild with spending on the holidays and took on credit card debt. Maybe you took on a mortgage you can’t afford. Maybe you retired without having saved enough money to do so comfortably.
But you’ve got to stop beating yourself up about it. All of it. You simply can’t move forward while gripping the past.
“We are free to move forward only when we remove the emotional shackles of regret,” Orman wrote. “Deep breath, everyone. Exhale. Now you are ready to put your financial house in order.”
Get a Crystal-Clear Picture of Your Financial Situation
So, you may know the broad situation of your finances. For example you know you have debt, or you know you don’t have enough to retire early if things stay the way they’re going. But you need a finely-honed, crystal-clear picture of absolutely everything pertaining to your finances.
“I want you to open every single financial statement — bank, credit card, mortgage, 401(k), brokerage account — and take a look,” Orman said.
When doing this, look for opportunities to make things easier. For example, automate your recurring bills, as well as a savings portion from each paycheck.
Challenge Yourself To Save, Even Just a Little Bit More Money
Naturally, the best way to deal with a lack of savings is to save more. But “saving more” is such a vague sentiment. And it can also feel condescending.
How can we save more when we’re already spread so thin and barely getting by? Orman suggested the answer to this is to look at saving more as a challenge and to focus on key areas where trimming down costs won’t feel like much of a sacrifice.
This can be really simple and even satisfying. Start with your utility bills.
“I challenge you to reduce every one of your monthly utility bills by 10 percent,” Orman said. “I bet you can seriously trim your utilities by spending one afternoon increasing your home’s energy efficiency.”

Tishwash: Kurdistan Showcases Investment Opportunities at Paris Forum
The Kurdistan Region is showcasing its investment potential at the French-Iraqi Economic Business Forum currently underway in Paris, with top officials encouraging French investors to explore opportunities in key sectors.
Mohammed Shukri, Head of the Kurdistan Region’s Investment Board, addressed a panel during the event, highlighting the Region’s supportive investment environment.
He emphasized the availability of promising opportunities in the industrial, agricultural, tourism, and energy sectors.
“Now is the time for foreign investors, particularly our French partners, to engage with the Kurdistan Region’s growing economy,” Shukri said, according to a statement released by the Investment Board.
The statement noted that several foreign investors, particularly French businesspeople, expressed readiness to visit the Kurdistan Region to explore investment opportunities firsthand and potentially boost France’s economic footprint in the area.
More than 300 foreign investors and businesspeople—mostly French—are attending the forum, underscoring France’s continued interest in Iraq’s and the Kurdistan Region’s economic landscape.
This event builds on momentum from last year’s first French-Kurdistan Economic Forum, also held in Paris.
The gathering was organized in coordination with the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Investment Board and MEDEF, France’s largest business federation, to strengthen bilateral economic ties and attract more French investment to the Region. link
Tishwash: from Iran's news
Baghdad or Erbil? Who controls Iraq's wealth?
The Iraqi Ministry of Oil declared two agreements between two American energy companies and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq "null and void" due to their failure to obtain federal approval.
The World - Correspondents
The tense relationship between Baghdad and Erbil has once again come to the fore after the Kurdistan Region of Iraq signed two massive gas field development agreements with two American companies worth more than $110 billion. This move sparked widespread political and legal controversy and brought to the fore an old question: Who owns the decision-making power over Iraq's resources?
Political analyst Naseem Abdullah told Al-Alam TV: "The Iraqi constitution states in Articles 110, 112, and 121 that the management of oil resources is a joint management between the region and the federal government. This provision is explicit, as the 2005 constitution stated that these resources are managed jointly by the region and the federal government. Currently, the region has violated the constitution through its unilateral management, which constitutes a breach of it."
The agreement, announced by the Prime Minister of the Kurdish region, Masrour Barzani , includes the development of massive oil and gas reserves in the Mizan, Topkhana, and Kordemir fields, potentially transforming Kurdistan into a regional energy hub. However, Baghdad, through the Ministry of Oil, quickly declared the agreement invalid, asserting that it violates the constitution and a ruling by the Federal Supreme Court.
Law professor Mohammed Adiq told Al-Alam TV: "Regarding the relationship between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the federal authorities, it is governed by Articles 110, 114, and 112. Therefore, the expired Kurdistan Regional Government must partner with the federal government in managing oil and gas and concluding oil contracts."
On the other hand, Erbil believes its actions are legal and within its jurisdiction, citing the absence of a federal law regulating the oil and gas sector. It asserts that the revenues will benefit both Kurdistan and Iraq.
Kurdish political analyst Hussein Al-Jaf said, "What happened is not a new contract, but rather the transfer of ownership of the project, which was operating in oil, from Kurdistan to another company. Therefore, there is no such thing as a renewed contract."
This sharp contrast raises a highly complex legal and political issue. While Baghdad champions sovereignty over resources, Erbil asserts that it is exercising a constitutional right that is absent from the national agreement.
The relationship between Baghdad and Erbil remains hostage to intense disagreements over resource management, with Baghdad insisting on centralized decision-making and Erbil insisting on its constitutional rights. The absence of a national agreement is evident, making every crisis a renewed conflict between Baghdad and Erbil. link

Tishwash: Speaking to CNN Arabic
President of the Republic: There are no Iranian forces in Iraq, nor any Iraqi forces in Iran.
Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid denied on Wednesday the presence of Iranian forces inside Iraq or vice versa, noting that the matter is limited to a regular exchange of delegations to discuss common issues. He also reiterated that the absence of an oil and gas law is behind the outstanding issues between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region, during a television interview with CNN Arabic.
The Arab Summit is essential in the current circumstances. The Middle East and Arab countries are suffering from several problems, most notably the aggression against the Palestinian people and the internal situations in Sudan, Syria, and Lebanon.
There is a genuine intention on the part of the Arab countries and the countries of the region to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
We must work to stop the fighting in Palestine, deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, and then develop a political roadmap for Palestinians to achieve their legitimate rights in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
Syria is an important country for Iraq in all social, religious, and cultural aspects. We are connected to each other, and we want good and strong relations with Syria. We want the Syrian government to take into consideration the Syrian people in all their diversity and ensure their representation.
We have a long border with Syria, and there are terrorists on the border, either alone or with their families of various nationalities. This security issue must be resolved amicably with the Syrian side.
We are working to resolve the border security crisis with Türkiye and the presence of its forces inside Iraq, especially given the Kurdistan Workers' Party's decision to pursue peaceful means to resolve the issue.
Our relations with Türkiye are good in terms of trade and diplomacy, and our trade is strong, amounting to tens of billions annually. We hope to resolve the security issue.
Our relations with Iran are long-standing, normal, and strong. There are no Iranian forces inside Iraq or vice versa. There is a constant exchange of delegations to discuss all existing issues.
Most of Iraq's water resources come from Türkiye and Iran, and most of it comes from Türkiye. We need a fair share to meet the needs of the population and agricultural requirements.
Our relations with neighboring countries and the region, including Egypt and Jordan, are strong and solid, and there is an exchange of expertise and business to improve infrastructure.
Our relations with the United States are normal and good, and agreements exist between the two parties and are being studied jointly. The decision on whether or not to keep forces is left to the ongoing negotiations between the two parties.
We welcome the visit of President Trump and European delegations to the region to hear directly from the region's leaders about existing problems and work to resolve them.
We hope that the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran will be successful and will benefit everyone.
Iraq is ready to serve as a mediator between Iran and the United States to ensure the success of negotiations, if requested.
The absence of an oil and gas law is behind the outstanding issues between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region. Negotiations are ongoing between the two sides to resolve issues such as salaries, oil, and other matters.
The elections will be held on schedule, and we are working to ensure that they are safe, stable, and fair, ensuring broad participation by the Iraqi people.

According to a report, Iraq's exports reached 3.35 million barrels per day, placing it second after Saudi Arabia, which topped the list with exports reaching 5.89 million barrels per day. The UAE came in third place with a total of 2.86 million barrels per day, followed by Kuwait with exports of 1.32 million barrels per day.
He added that "Libya ranked fifth with average exports of 1.18 million barrels per day, while Qatar came in sixth with 605,000 barrels per day, and Algeria ranked last with exports of 378,000 barrels per day."
Regarding global oil trade, the report indicated that the United States maintained its position as a net importer of crude oil, but continued to be a net exporter of petroleum products, with its net exports of crude oil and its derivatives reaching approximately 2.7 million barrels per day during the first quarter of the year.
In contrast, China's net oil imports fell by approximately 385,000 barrels per day, settling at 10.7 million barrels per day, while India's imports rose by 3.3% quarter-on-quarter, reaching 4.6 million barrels per day.
It is worth noting that OAPEC was established on January 9, 1968, by agreement between Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Libya. Its headquarters are in Kuwait, and its founding members include Algeria, Iraq, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Syria, and Egypt. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=55897
Iraq's Oil Exports To The US Reached 5 Million Barrels In A Month.
Energy Economy News – Baghdad The U.S. Energy Information Administration announced on Tuesday that Iraq exported more than 5 million barrels of crude oil and its derivatives to the United States during February 2025.
A table from the administration showed that "Iraq exported 5,427,000 barrels of oil and its products during February, down from 7,136,000 barrels in January."
The US Energy Information Administration reported that "the total crude oil exported from Iraq to the US in the same month amounted to 4,446,000 barrels, while the remaining 981,000 barrels were petroleum derivatives, which are non-condensate oils."
Iraqi oil exports to the United States have increased significantly in recent years, with export figures reaching record levels in some months, partly due to Iraq's ability to increase its oil production. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=55899

Five Years Later, “Mostly Peaceful” Is Back
Five Years Later, “Mostly Peaceful” Is Back
Notes From The Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) May 27, 2025
On August 24 in the year 410 AD, a large army of Visigoths entered the city of Rome and rampaged through the streets for three full days.
They ransacked public buildings. They destroyed monuments. They looted wealthy homes. And they stole just about anything and everything that wasn’t nailed down. Only some churches were spared, given that their king was a Christian.
Five Years Later, “Mostly Peaceful” Is Back
Notes From The Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) May 27, 2025
On August 24 in the year 410 AD, a large army of Visigoths entered the city of Rome and rampaged through the streets for three full days.
They ransacked public buildings. They destroyed monuments. They looted wealthy homes. And they stole just about anything and everything that wasn’t nailed down. Only some churches were spared, given that their king was a Christian.
The Visigoths even desecrated Roman shrines-- like the tomb of Augustus, where they dumped the former emperor’s ashes (which had been preserved for centuries).
News spread like a shockwave throughout the Mediterranean.
Within a few days, refugees and eyewitnesses had already brought the news across the imperial road network to Milan in the north and Ravenna in the east. Within a week, ships bearing the news arrived at major cities in North Africa like Carthage and Alexandria.
The famed theologian Saint Augustine was in modern day Algeria and received the news in early September. His contemporary Saint Jerome was all the way in Bethlehem, more than 1,500 miles from Rome, when he heard the news shortly after.
No one had any illusions about the state of the western Roman Empire at that point; it was so weak and feeble that Rome wasn’t even the capital city anymore; it had been moved to Ravenna nearly a decade prior.
But the city was still a legendary and powerful symbol of the Empire’s former strength. So news of it being sacked and pillaged traveled very quickly and was met with sadness and disbelief. People were stunned.
The sack of Rome was the ancient equivalent of the 9/11 attacks in 2001… one of those events that goes on to shape culture and history; where everyone knew that life would never be quite the same again; and where people ‘remember where they were’ when they heard the news.
My dad used to talk about the JFK assassination that way. I personally remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. Many of us probably have a similarly emblazoned memory about Covid, i.e. the day we knew something really bad was about to happen.
Then there was the death of George Floyd-- also in 2020, exactly five years ago this past Saturday.
That infamous video came out of a man suffocating to death while multiple police officers looked on and did nothing. And it too became one of those history-defining, culture-shifting, seismic events.
Some of that change was positive and necessary, and helped to propel civilization forward.
Other change was completely ludicrous, including the media coverage.
The legacy media was already on thin ice at that point for their heavily tainted and histrionic COVID fear porn.
You probably remember how CNN and MSNBC used to have the real time body counts of how many people were supposedly dying of Covid; only later did we find out how inflated those numbers really were.
They preached constantly about how everyone must stay at home, wear masks, social distance, etc. And then the George Floyd protests started. Thousands of people were out in the streets packed together like sardines. No social distancing. No staying at home.
After months of being told we had to ‘shelter in place’, suddenly the media decided it was OK to be out in public… but only if you were protesting in the name of George Floyd.
It was as if everything they had been saying over and over again for the past few months was just thrown out the window and replaced with a new social justice theme. And, just like their coverage of Covid, the facts didn’t matter.
The public demonstrations quickly turned violent. Looters rampaged through the streets and plundered stores, stealing big-screen televisions and video game consoles-- all in the name of Social Justice, of course.
And then the media tried to tell us that the protests were “mostly peaceful”. In other words, don’t trust your lying eyes. We’ll tell you what to believe.
That was probably the moment they lost any shred of their remaining credibility and viewers recognized them for the deceitful propaganda machine that they are.
Naturally, they never learned. And the propaganda didn’t stop. They later used this same approach to insist that Joe Biden was healthy, mentally vibrant, and vigorous. And they’re doing the same thing now with respect to attacks on white farmers in South Africa.
Donald Trump met with South Africa’s President (Cyril Ramaphosa) at the White House last week, and the media is in agony over the fact that Trump brought up the killings and said a “genocide” was taking place.
The media is now whining that Trump’s claims are false and part of a far-right conspiracy theory.
Reuters went out of its way to fact check the President, reporting that the total number of white farmers murdered in South Africa amounts to just 1,363… which is too small a number to be considered genocide or ethnic cleansing.
Wow. Hard to argue with that logic. Only 1,363 “mostly peaceful” murders.
Bear in mind that South Africa only has 32,000 commercial farmers. Even if we assume 100% of them are white, this would mean that 1 out of every 23 white farmers has been murdered. Not exactly great odds.
Reuters also, bizarrely, disputes President Trump’s claim that white farmers are having their land expropriated by the South African government.
Instead, Reuters states that white farmers have been “encouraged” to “sell their land willingly”.
Unfortunately, says Reuters, “that hasn’t worked”, so President Ramaphosa “signed a law in January allowing the state to expropriate land.”
So, just to be clear, Donald Trump said that white farmers in South Africa are having their farms expropriated. Reuters complains that this isn’t true. Yet three paragraphs later they said that Ramaphosa signed a law to expropriate land from white farmers.
This is championship level Orwellian doublespeak. You couldn’t make it up if you tried.

Member: Mark are you saying that iqd is at 4.81?
Member: $4.81 would be a very sweet rate, imo...and would be a reason for some excitement.
Member: everyone on another channel thinks Mark just announced the RV with his thumbnail!!!!
Member: Saw this earlier today. Hoping it’s good news
Member: I hope and pray the 800# is right behind this
Member: This memo states that the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) is ready for public rate visibility at $4.8101, with infrastructure integration & confirmation from Al-Bayan Center's RATE is currently supr'd but loaded.
Member: Rate is pre-loaded meaning it is not active
MZ: “Article FX-VU Strategic release memo-$4.8101 IQD Anchor and Post-forex Convergence” 5-27-2025
MZ: I got about 200-300 emails with this screenshot in them. (shows the screenshot) We are still vetting them. Several white hat hackers are trying to find out about this. It may take a little time to be solid
MZ: What they are telling me is they are finding more supporting pieces. I have asked for those so I could share them. Whether this is fake or dead solid….I cannot answer that right now. But, What I can say is much of what this discusses is supported by other documentation. This does not give us any timing…but does show the preparation.
MZ: If it is accurate we are looking at a very solid rate. I do not know if this was a leak. This is getting fun and interesting.
MZ: I do not know who found it but they could be onto something. Some of the best folks on the planet are searching to find out if its true.
MZ: I think this has legs and we are doing our best to chase it down.
Member: What does the article say?
MZ: It says the IQD is fully armed for public rate visability at $4.81. It basically is talking about the rate they have ready to go. Just no idea on timing. Stay calm.
Member: IMO- The document is not from the internet.. its from forex and an analysis created based on the information available from inside sources.
Member: SG Anon posted on Truth Social: “…photo re: IQD/USD revaluation was doctored and not authentic”.
MZ: Guaranteed many are trying to find out if this is true or not. MilitiaMan and many others. Probably Frank, TNT and others……We just don’t do not know if its true or not….yet..
MZ: No bond news at all.
Member: Mark: Re Bond News, No News Is Good News?
MZ: “PM Mosrour Barzani to present results of US trip at Wed. cabinet meeting” He has been spending a lot of time with Rubio and the state Dept crew along with the UST. It makes me wonder if the US is working both sides of the political aisle. The US needs Iraq to be ready and reset their value….finally.
Member: Thank you Mark! Thank you Mods! Have a nice evening Everyone!
Member: Praying that article is real and true……What a blessing that would be.
