Clare:  Iraq discusses with an American company the establishment of a floating gas storage unit

6/26/2025   - Baghdad

The American Oil Price website revealed on Thursday that Iraq is in talks with Texas-based Excelerate Energy to establish a floating gas storage unit (FSU) to assist in the gas import process. The FSU will be located at the Khor al-Zubair port in Basra. 

The website reported that Texas-based Excelerate Energy is one of the bidders in a tender to provide a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) that would welcome Iraq's first imports of liquefied natural gas.

The report added that "Baghdad, which is seeking to wean itself off Iranian gas supplies for power generation, is in advanced talks with Excelerate Energy regarding liquefied natural gas (LNG) import infrastructure at the Khor al-Zubair port in Basra."

The report quoted Ali Salman, acting general manager of the South Gas Company, as saying to Bloomberg, "Excelerate Energy, an American company that provides floating LNG import terminals, develops LNG import infrastructure, and supplies LNG and natural gas, is one of the applicants for Iraq's plan to begin importing LNG. South Gas Company is overseeing the development of the gas import project."

He explained that "Iraq has long relied on Iran for imports of natural gas and electricity, and despite being a major oil producer, Iraq has historically experienced high levels of associated gas flaring rather than collecting it in the gas supply chain." He explained that "during the summer months, during peak electricity demand, Iraq often suffers from severe power outages and frequent blackouts due to unstable and insufficient gas and energy supplies from Iran."

Earlier this year, Iraq's electricity supply problems worsened after the Trump administration ended the waiver granted to Iraq to import electricity from Iran. Under pressure to reduce its reliance on Iranian energy for years, Iraq began exploring alternative gas sources, including the option of importing liquefied natural gas (LNG).

At the end of last year, Iraq signed a gas supply agreement with Turkmenistan, guaranteeing it 20 million cubic meters of gas per day.  LINK

Clare:  APIKUR ready to resume Kurdistan oil exports pending payment guarantees

 6/26/2025

SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region — The Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (APIKUR) announced early Thursday that its member companies are ready to immediately resume oil exports from Kurdistan through the Iraq-Turkey Pipeline (ITP) once payment guarantees for past and future shipments are secured. APIKUR emphasized that reopening the ITP would add over 300,000 barrels per day to the international market.

In a statement consistent with its previous position on resuming oil exports, APIKUR reiterated that restarting oil exports from the Kurdistan Region remains contingent on guarantees for outstanding and future payments. The organization underscored the geostrategic urgency of reopening the Iraq-Türkiye Pipeline, highlighting that it provides Iraq with a secure and reliable export route to global oil markets through the port of Ceyhan.

“Resuming exports through the ITP adds more than 300,000 barrels per day to the international market,” the statement read.

Addressing the readiness to end the stalemate over oil exports, APIKUR stressed that member companies are prepared to immediately resume exports once payment guarantees are in place.

Meanwhile, Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said on Wednesday that the suspension of oil exports — halted since March 2023 — has cost the Region $25 billion in losses. He added that international oil companies are willing to resume production if their basic costs are recognized but require guarantees from Baghdad.

Barzani also revealed significant progress in resolving outstanding issues, with only a few points remaining—mainly related to the ‘scope of work,’ including assigning a third party to review costs. He called for a resolution of the dispute between the federal government and oil companies to protect company rights and ensure the Kurdistan Region’s compliance with contracts.

With a high-level Iraqi delegation, including representatives from the Federal Oil Ministry, set to visit Erbil next week to address outstanding issues between Baghdad and the KRG, oil export resumption is expected to top the agenda, with Prime Minister Barzani expressing optimism about a positive outcome.

Despite several rounds of tripartite negotiations between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the KRG’s Ministry of Natural Resources, and international oil companies — following the amendment of the federal budget law in February, which was seen as a step to break the stalemate — no agreement has been reached to resume oil exports, with each side trading accusations over the delay.

Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region via Turkey’s Ceyhan port remain halted following a ruling from the Paris-based International Court of Arbitration, which determined that Turkey violated a 1973 treaty by permitting these exports without Baghdad’s approval.  LINK

Militia Man  Iraq has low inflation and is in a very good position to defend its exchange rate in a time when you think the place is going crazy in a hand basket but they press on and they keep doing it.  They're meeting the requirements necessary.  They've made stockholders (IMF, World Bank, US Treasury, Federal Reserve) happy.  They are the largest stakeholders in Iraq...

Bruce   [via WiserNow] ...we heard from a redemption center leader that said that they had of the 24 different currencies - that we expect to be in the first and only offering – only nine had come up on the redemption center screens  - and they were solid -  they weren't blinking, flashing or whatever, they had solid rates... they have more that need to populate – more that need to come up...And we have heard from about four different sources that are saying almost the same thing...Another source said...Just wait a couple more days and we would be getting notified...

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 6-26-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody, and the big call tonight is Thursday, June 26th and you're listening to the big call. thanks everybody for tuning in tonight. think we have an important call to put out tonight, a lot of good information. And I'm looking forward to it. But before we get to the teaching that Sue has found for us tonight. Let's pray the call in .

 Let's get into some intel. Let's see where we stand today because, like I said, Tuesday night, even after the big call  I get more stuff --- I get more information.

And then there's Wednesday -  then  and we get a couple of things today. So it's just kind of working its way through, all right? Let's get into, let's get into what we heard, as far as bond holders are to be getting notified by their emails either today or tomorrow, which is Thursday or Friday, and tell them in those emails when they have access to their funds.

Now look  Bondholders have been pushed just like we have  - tier 3 bondholders and we're in tier 4B is what I call it, the Internet Group, the largest group of real players in this league. They've been pushed – we’ve been pushed – there’s supposedly a shotgun start, which means we would theoretically get notified at the same time.

It's only a theory, because if those guys get notified, let's say today or tonight and tomorrow, and we should get notified similarly, but I have a timeline for that, so we know that bond holders have been flying in to Reno and they have been handling the last of the vetting process of these people, if you know what I mean, sort through. And some people are walking out happy, and some people are walking out not very happy because they're not genuine, they're not authentic, they're not who they said they were

Okay, I won't go into any more depth on that, but it is very good to know that they're there for the vetting process, and that's good, and they're being handled, and that's an ongoing basis, probably through the weekend – it  started a couple days ago- Wednesday / Thursday. It should be continuing until they're done with everybody they need to see --  one moment, please – long pause ..

So, all right, this is the next thing  this is what we have, is bond holders, and then we go next.

Now, what we heard even yesterday, and it was echoed again today from a different source, what we're getting from the direct from redemption center leaders that are over, in this case, eight redemption centers. He said that we could be notified for tier 4b anytime between today -- Well, I'm going to say NOT TODAY. It's too late -- Tomorrow, which is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and he included Monday, all the way up through the end of this month, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Now, of course, you guys know I even mentioned this on the last call. I said, you know, I get a little antsy when we get near the last day of the month, because I'm always curious as to whether we would start at the very end of the month, or possibly start on the first of July, which would be Tuesday. So it's I'm unsure about it right now.  Because - I've also been told today that we could get notified over the weekend, which we'll throw Friday in, just for a good measure, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and maybe start Monday or Tuesday with exchanges. I'm referring to,

I told you guys, Thursday, Tuesday. Rather, when we get the numbers, we're over 50% there. As we call, we set our appointments, we're locked.

We're locked and loaded for exchange. All we've got to do is not forget our currency, but get there. Take a few other items with us. We told out like your ID, picture ID, like your you may or may not need this good idea to take if you have a power bill or a cell phone bill, gas bill, something like that, electric bill, take a proof that shows your physical address, that is a part of the  “know your customer”.

Take that with and that way you'll have some proof. You know they they know who all of us are, by the emails, by who we are when we bought currency, bona fide dealer, okay, even eBay and that type of thing.

However, they may not have everybody's email, they may not have all of it, but they want to know who the Zim holders are, because it is the most valuable of the currencies, which is also a bond, a bearer bond, and it's going to be treated very, very special.

All right, so let's this. So what else is going on? I've given you the rough idea of the timing - we could get something. No, I've been told they might surprise us. We could get something early. I don't know about that. I'm going to say if so – great!!

But probably more likely -this is probably getting notified on the last day of the month, which is June 30, Monday, and then setting appointments for Tuesday the first of July -  

Now here's the other thing about it. What about I said to Jeannie tonight, Social Security increase. We had been told that it would be in June. It ain't going to be in June. It's not going to be in June.

So we have to defer an increase in Social Security on it to start in July, hopefully in the first week of July. What about RNR, restitution  and reconciliation allowance?

R & R  is going to be there for us that currency at the redemption centers. Notice I didn't say at the banks, at the redemption centers, we should have that – it should be in our quantum account. And they'll tell us that it's in there. It should be there already. So that's what we've been told. If, for some reason, something isn't mentioned, you mention it. You say, hey, what about reconciliation  and restitution allowance, whatever R & R, our whatever it stands for. Oh, okay, yeah,  it’s this much – a lump sum – and it’s this much

Now, if you are not in the currencies, you would get it as a direct deposit into your bank account. If they don't have anything on a bank, see, they know our bank fire social security numbers. But if they don't, if you don't have a bank account, then theoretically you get a check in the mail.

But it'd be a pretty big check for a lot of people. The older you are, the higher it's going to be. The younger you are, the less. All right, that's R & R and Social Security.

Now, what about DOGE? I don't know. Guys,  we thought DOGE would be here in June. It's not so it's deferred also to July - Our Doge payments, whatever they're going to be, and some are supposed to be pretty large, really large. And then the RV itself, the actual exchanges and the redemption of zim at redemption centers, that's the mother load that's based on what you have that's going to be your biggest, your biggest hit of all.

So that's where we stand on those four different income streams, if you will, for us, the biggest – the RV  if you are a zim holder by far – the way biggest - And then the other currencies fall into place.

Now  as I mentioned on Tuesdays call there were only nine currencies on the redemption center screens on Tuesday. I don't have an update to know how many more could have been on screens today. I'm sure they're going to populate and adding now those last nine Tuesdays were solid rates, solid on screen.

Okay, now we'll see what else happens. What else is going on that I wanted to bring to you  tonight?

The main thing that we have now is to see whether the notifications that we get come out over the weekend, whether they defer it until Monday anyway, whether it's Fri - Sat or Sun or Monday, it's all good, and we're there, really where we need to Be.

And yes, been a long ride. It's not been an easy ride, and yet, in some ways it should have been easier, but what I've tried to do is tell you what I'm hearing from very good sources. But guess what? Sources have not been correct, or they've been correct for a period of time, and then it changed. And I was told a long time ago, Bruce, this is a military operation, things can change at any moment.

 And I think that's true. I do believe that true, and certainly I've seen changes happen, but we know that this is going on. This is happening. It is ready to start. I don't think we're going to see NESARA  or GESARA brought out until July, and it might be July 4. It could be sooner.

 But here's another thing we got as of 7:30pm tonight. All countries are on asset backed currencies as of tonight. Well, 730 passed a long time ago on the big call, didn't it? Unless you're out west on the Pacific Coast or in Hawaii, that was 730 Eastern and the big call starts, as you guys know, at nine o'clock Eastern so an hour tonight, all countries were on their new asset backed currencies.

For us, it's the USN - And here's another thing, the USTN, which is the United States Treasury notes, is the physical money, the folding money, our new printed currency that they delivered today, again, this is the third major delivery they've made To the banks and to redemption centers in $500 packets that are paper, just like in the old days, paper bands around them 500 bucks.

Don't know which denominations that includes, but it could include several denominations  money and they delivered give 150,000  to each bank and redemption center today. So banks have it – redemption centers have it -  again waiting for us to go in. They've kind of requested that we take no more than maybe three to $5,000 in cash. They just don't want us to have a problem having too much cash pocket or in our briefcase or whatever you taking in to the redemption center. They don’t want us to get mugged going out –

So don't take too much. You can always get more currency later. But if you want to take some $500 packets. Okay, so that's what I wanted to bring, terms of that Intel. So they brought it up today because we're close. They brought it in because we're right there. And I do not know, and I don't believe there's a connection to what I call the big, bad, beautiful bill.

This new bill that made its way through the Senate or made through the house, rather, needs to get finalized, and President Trump has told the senators. Nobody goes home until this bill is complete and passed, because he wants it on his desk by or before the Fourth of July. 4 of July this year should be big for us.

 It should contain some sort of type announcements, you know, we’ve got  the USN, and they're going to it tonight, officially, all over the globe. And there was one other piece too that I wanted to bring out about the Starlink and the QFS -

It’sort of evading me right now, I'm thinking about topokito water, I guess, but it's, it's basically, and if I think for the end of the call, I'll let you guys know. But it's a good thing. It's one other connection was finalizing now between us and QFS the Starlink satellite System . So if I think of it  I'll tell you -

 Well, that is everything I wanted to say tonight except that one little piece of what that was referring to as the QFS and the Starlink system interconnecting – but I will tell you this much – it’s doing it – it is done, and I think what is really cool is that all the asset backed currencies around the globe initiated using those tonight at 7:30pm Eastern Daylight Time tonight.

So that's what I wanted to bring you guys. We will do one of two things – have a call on Tuesday, which hopefully  will be a celebration call, or we'll do a pre recorded celebration call and have it out for you after this goes. When I say after this goes, I mean after we get the toll free numbers and we're able to have them to set our appointments. Alright?

I want us all to have  a great weekend and I want us all to believe so we're going to have this coming in  and we look forward to it – So let’s pray out the call ,

 So let's go ahead and end the recording And we'll talk to you Tuesday, or before if we do it, pre recorded.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

US Judge Denies Ripple–SEC Joint Bid to Slash $125M Penalty
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

A U.S. federal judge has rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reduce a $125 million penalty and vacate prior rulings that classified Ripple’s institutional XRP sales as unregistered securities.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

US Judge Denies Ripple–SEC Joint Bid to Slash $125M Penalty
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

A U.S. federal judge has rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reduce a $125 million penalty and vacate prior rulings that classified Ripple’s institutional XRP sales as unregistered securities.

The decision was handed down by Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, who reaffirmed that Ripple must adhere to federal securities laws, regardless of evolving SEC policy.

Key Developments:

▪️ Judge Torres denied the request to reduce the $125M civil penalty or reverse the ruling that Ripple’s XRP sales to institutions violated Section 5 of the Securities Act.
▪️ The court emphasized that the appropriate venue for altering a final order is through appeal—not by informal agreement between parties.
▪️ Judge Torres wrote:

“Ripple’s willingness to push the boundaries of the Order evinces a likelihood that it will eventually, if it has not already, cross the line.”

Background:

Ripple and the SEC jointly filed a motion seeking an indicative ruling, asking the lower court to reconsider its final order in light of the SEC’s softened stance on crypto enforcement.

However, Judge Torres rejected this procedural move, stating that nothing has materially changed since her earlier ruling to justify a reduced penalty or reversed injunction.

“They now claim it is in the public interest to cut the Civil Penalty by sixty percent… The Court disagrees,” she added.

Ripple’s Response and the SEC’s Retreat:

While Ripple did not immediately comment, the ruling comes after Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse previously declared the SEC’s dropped appeal as a “resounding victory” for the company and the broader crypto industry.

In March, the parties agreed to settle the monetary aspect of the case, proposing a 60% reduction in penalties:
▪️ $50 million to the SEC
▪️ $75 million to be returned to Ripple
▪️ Funds currently held in escrow pending court approval

Why It Matters:

This case has become a cornerstone legal battle for the crypto industry, with Ripple’s partial victories hailed as precedent-setting. Yet, Judge Torres’ refusal to revise the penalty underscores that regulatory enforcement remains grounded in statutory law—not political shifts or private settlements.

Ripple’s legal journey may be winding down, but the court has made it clear: accountability under federal securities laws stands firm.

Confirmed: ISO® 20022 Message Format Goes Live for Fedwire® on July 14, 2025
By FRB Services | June 2025

After years of preparation in collaboration with the financial industry, the Federal Reserve Financial Services (FRFS) has officially confirmed the implementation of the ISO® 20022 message format for the Fedwire® Funds Service on July 14, 2025.

Fedwire Funds Service Moves Forward With ISO 20022

FRFS has announced that the long-planned migration to ISO 20022 will proceed on schedule. The Fedwire Funds Service software and production infrastructure will remain unchanged, ensuring a seamless transition for institutions already onboarded for compliance.

The message format shift marks a major step toward modernizing U.S. payment systems and aligning with global standards in high-value funds transfer.

“We are confirming that FRFS will move forward with implementing the new ISO 20022 message format on July 14 as planned.”

Testing Continues Through July 11

FRFS urges all participating institutions and service vendors to continue internal testing and validation efforts through July 11, just prior to go-live.

Questions or concerns should be directed to:

  • 📧 Fedwire.Funds.Format@ny.frb.org

  • 📞 Your FRFS relationship manager or the Support Center

“We appreciate the work, time, and resources you have put into preparing for the new ISO 20022 standard.”

A Key Milestone in U.S. Payment Infrastructure Modernization

The ISO 20022 rollout for Fedwire Funds is part of a broader global migration to richer, structured, and standardized messaging formats, enabling enhanced data handling, interoperability, and automation across banking systems.

This move places the U.S. in line with international payment modernization efforts, joining regions such as Europe and Asia that have already embraced ISO 20022 in real-time gross settlement systems.

Senate Banking Chair Targets September Deadline for Crypto Market Structure Bill
By Cointelegraph | June 2025

Following the successful Senate passage of the GENIUS stablecoin bill, U.S. lawmakers are setting their sights on broader digital asset market structure legislation—with a new timeline in view.

Sen. Tim Scott Aims for Sept. 30 Deadline

U.S. Senator Tim Scott, Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, announced Thursday that the chamber is working toward passing a digital asset market structure bill by September 30.

“For the market to function completely,” said Scott, “Congress needs to move forward with legislation for both market structure and stablecoins.”

The remarks came during a fireside chat with Senator Cynthia Lummis and White House crypto adviser Bo Hines, as part of a broader effort to advance regulatory clarity in the rapidly evolving digital asset sector.

Lummis offered strong support for Scott’s timeline, stating:

“You’re the chairman, and we will do as you wish. We will make sure that we’re ready to do that.”

GENIUS Act and Market Structure Bills on Parallel Tracks

The push for market structure legislation follows momentum from the GENIUS Act—the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act—which recently passed the Senate and awaits consideration in the House of Representatives.

▪️ Sen. Lummis warned she would be “extremely disappointed” if both bills aren’t passed before 2026.
▪️ No floor votes have been scheduled yet in either chamber for market structure legislation.

At the Bitcoin Policy Summit earlier this week, Lummis reiterated the importance of getting both pieces of legislation passed to maintain the U.S.'s competitive edge in digital finance.

White House May Push for Accelerated Timelines

Former President Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election, weighed in on the GENIUS Act on June 18, urging the House to “get it to [his] desk, ASAP.”

However, his August target for crypto legislation may conflict with the Senate’s September goal for market structure—raising questions about how the timeline may shift in coming weeks.

Senate Eyes CLARITY Act as a Framework

Lummis added that the Senate may model its legislation on the House’s proposed bill, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act), which passed out of committee in June.

▪️ The Senate version is expected to be drafted before the August recess, with markup scheduled for September.
▪️ The goal: to define which digital assets fall under SEC or CFTC oversight, and to establish regulatory clarity for crypto companies operating in the U.S.

“We’re not just talking about modernization,” one staffer familiar with the bill remarked. “We’re talking about creating a framework that gives innovators, regulators, and investors clear rules of the road.”

Why It Matters:

As regulatory conversations escalate in Washington, a bipartisan, bicameral push toward crypto market structure reform could reshape the digital asset landscape. With the GENIUS Act already gaining traction, attention is now fixed on how soon—and how clearly—Congress can define the future of U.S. crypto regulation.

We're Smoked If US Doesn't Have It's Gold | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance:  6-26-2025

Bill Holter warns that if the truth emerges that the U.S. has no gold, the entire global financial system could collapse, as it's built on the perceived security of U.S. Treasuries—once backed by gold.

 He argues that U.S. Mint lineage coinage, like Gold and Silver Eagles, may offer legal protection from future government confiscation, unlike bars or foreign coins.

Bill Holter warns that if the truth emerges that the U.S. has no gold, the entire global financial system could collapse, as it's built on the perceived security of U.S. Treasuries—once backed by gold.

 He argues that U.S. Mint lineage coinage, like Gold and Silver Eagles, may offer legal protection from future government confiscation, unlike bars or foreign coins.

Holter also highlights a rapid global shift away from the U.S. dollar and Treasuries, with BRICS+ nations accelerating moves toward gold-backed trade settlement.

 He stresses that owning physical gold and silver, especially junk silver for bartering, is crucial for preserving wealth during systemic breakdowns.

Finally, he urges newcomers to prepare for "The Great Taking," a potential legal seizure of assets, by understanding true ownership and holding wealth outside the traditional financial system

Member: TGIF and Good Morning to everyone

Member: Hopefully Mark and Mr. C will have some very encouraging words for us today.

MZ: I am hearing multiple rumors of payments in groups and expected release of group payments. If this is accurate- we can throw a party. Trying to vet it right now…along with other rumors.

MZ: There are other rumors – a flurry of them overnight that the Iranian regime has changed. And the Iranian military is now working directly with the US. For now treat it as a rumor until confirmed.

 MZ: “Al- Aidani oversees the final stages of Iraq’s largest infrastructure project” they are building a new capital city for a region. Including all the infrastructure….this is a huge project.

MZ: “New Iraqi TIR route : a game changer for Europe-GCC logistics”  they are talking about the billion dollars Iraq was given by the World bank to expand its rail service which will take some of the traffic off the road system. They now have open routes overland through Iraq from Iraqi ports through Turkey and moving goods directly to Europe.

MZ: This is part of the development road project and its finished ahead of time.

MZ: “New agreement between Baghdad and Erbil to unify customs and tariffs at border crossings” This is one of the biggest sticking points for the HCL and Gas and Oil laws…..We are now seeing it completed….so they can lift the value of their purchasing power.

MZ: This speaks to me of Nesara/Gesara: “ The last of which is 160 million dollars Disclosure of a movement to recover Iraqi funds and real estate” …This could be part of the settlements like Historic bonds….to clean the slate.

Member: any news on the Zim or the bolivar?

MZ: No recent news on either.

Member: July 1st is the start of the US third quarter and when Basel 3 banking laws are supposed to start worldwide…... July 4th is rumored to be a big day…and every Saturday banks close worldwide overnight…..a good time to change rates. Fingers crossed one of those is what we are waiting for.

Member: Thanks Mark and Mods and Mr. C.  Everyone enjoy your Friday. God Bless

Thurs. 26 June 2025: TRUMP ORDERS: NO VACATION FOR CONGRESS — PASS THE ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ OR STAY LOCKED IN [VIDEO] – amg-news.com – American Media Group

Wed. 25 June 2025 Breaking: Trump directs Congress to approve the final bill before July 4. …Mr. Pool on Telegram

Trump isn’t inquiring. He has authority. President Donald J. Trump publicly ordered Congress to deliver “The Great, Big, Beautiful Bill” before Independence Day.

The bill(allegedly)  completes the Federal Reserve’s demise, which was already ruined by military gold reclamation in Asia and Europe. QFS has seized and returned more than $17 trillion worth of stolen gold to safe U.S. depositories. America’s new financial system, which will (allegedly) eliminate fiat money, erase illegitimate debt, and shut down the IRS, will be supported by this gold.

The bill’s reported contents include:

Interest on credit debt linked to fiat currency being erased, income tax elimination and a switch back to tariff-based income.

The Quantum Access Card is legally recognized for citizen access to QFS.

The last phase is active. The infrastructure is constructed. The gold is safe. The public is aware. The military is on the same page. Congress must now decide whether to approve the bill or face national scrutiny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thurs. 26 June 2025: THE FINAL BILL ACTIVATES QFS …QFS on Telegram

The gold has already been secured. Over $17 trillion in stolen reserves have been (allegedly) seized from offshore central banks and transported via encrypted military corridors to underground vaults on U.S. soil. All of it is now (allegedly) under QFS jurisdiction. This bill will embed that gold into the heart of a new sovereign economy—ending fiat, erasing unlawful debt, and terminating the Federal Reserve’s grip forever.

The bill includes:
Termination of interest on all fiat-linked credit debt.
Abolition of income tax, replaced with Constitutional trade tariffs.
Legal recognition of QFS as the monetary backbone of the Restored Republic.

By July 4, the QFS must be activated in law.

This is no longer governance. This is the final sweep.

The infrastructure is ready. The gold is allocated. The quantum network is live. The people are awake. And Trump holds the command key.

This is your future: Sovereignty. Gold-backed assets. No IRS. Full control of your funds through QFS. And it all depends on one thing: The Bill Must Pass.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Summit Shaken as Xi Jinping and Putin Skip Key Brazil Meeting
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

The upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro has plunged into uncertainty after it was confirmed that both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend. Their absence—unprecedented in the bloc’s history—raises serious concerns about the leadership cohesion and future direction of the expanded alliance.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Summit Shaken as Xi Jinping and Putin Skip Key Brazil Meeting
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

The upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro has plunged into uncertainty after it was confirmed that both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend. Their absence—unprecedented in the bloc’s history—raises serious concerns about the leadership cohesion and future direction of the expanded alliance.

No-Show: ICC Warrant Disrupts Attendance

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the July 6–7 summit due to the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant issued against him in March 2023. The warrant, tied to allegations of war crimes involving the deportation of Ukrainian children, legally obliges Brazil, an ICC member, to detain him if he enters the country.

“This is related to certain difficulties in the context of the ICC’s demands,” said Russian foreign policy aide Yuriy Ushakov“The Brazilian government was unable to take a clear position that would allow our president to participate.”

Putin will instead join virtually, while Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov leads Russia’s in-person delegation. This continues Putin’s avoidance of ICC member states—he also skipped the G20 in Brazil last year.

Xi Jinping Breaks Decade-Long Attendance Streak

In a historic firstXi Jinping will not attend the BRICS summit—a major shift for the Chinese leader who has been present at every summit since assuming power. Instead, Premier Li Qiang will represent China, as he did during the 2023 G20 summit in India.

Officially, Beijing cites a scheduling conflict, but reports suggest deeper reasons:

▪️ Diplomatic sources hint at displeasure over Brazil’s warm reception of Indian PM Narendra Modi, potentially seen as undermining Xi’s role.
▪️ Xi previously met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva twice in 2024, raising expectations of a reciprocal visit.

Brazil Left Scrambling Amid Leadership Crisis

Brazilian officials have expressed clear disappointment as the summit host country, calling this a “BRICS leadership crisis.” President Lula’s May trip to Beijing was intended as a goodwill gesture to strengthen ties.

Despite Xi’s absence, China’s Foreign Ministry voiced support for the summit:

“In a volatile and turbulent world, BRICS nations maintain their strategic resolve and work together for global peace, stability, and development,” said ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun.

Yet behind the diplomacy, the absence of both Putin and Xi has created an unmistakable vacuum at the top of the BRICS bloc.

Unity in Question as BRICS Expands

With the recent expansion of BRICS to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE, the bloc faces new complexity in aligning its geopolitical interests. But the absence of its two most prominent leaders—one for legal reasons, the other for diplomatic concerns—underscores the fragility of BRICS’ unity.

The dual absence “exposes the limits of international cooperation under pressure from legal and geopolitical constraints,” said one analyst.
“It weakens the bloc’s ability to present a united front in contrast to Western institutions.”

What Lies Ahead?

Though the summit will proceed, led by Li Qiang and Sergey Lavrov, the leadership void casts a long shadow. The BRICS initiative—long positioned as an alternative to U.S.-dominated global systems—now faces deeper questions:

▪️ Can the bloc maintain coherence with rising internal tensions?
▪️ Will future summits restore full leadership participation?
▪️ And how will these developments impact BRICS’ long-term role in shaping a multipolar global order?

For now, the Rio summit may proceed, but the tone is cautious, not triumphant.

How Much Should You Share With Your Kids About Your Finances?

How Much Should You Share With Your Kids About Your Finances? Experts Weigh In

Nicole Spector   Wed, June 25, 2025   GOBankingRates

Most of us were raised without any formal education in personal finance. This alone can hold us back. But for many of us, it’s worse than that — we didn’t have much of an understanding of what was going on with money in our own homes while we were growing up. Maybe we sensed, or were told, that the money situation at home was “bad” or “good” or “stressful.” But that’s not education — that’s emotion.

Now, as parents, we want our children to have it better than we did. That means equipping them with the right tools to navigate the world of personal finance when they’re older. So what, exactly, should we share with our kids about our finances?

How Much Should You Share With Your Kids About Your Finances? Experts Weigh In

Nicole Spector   Wed, June 25, 2025   GOBankingRates

Most of us were raised without any formal education in personal finance. This alone can hold us back. But for many of us, it’s worse than that — we didn’t have much of an understanding of what was going on with money in our own homes while we were growing up. Maybe we sensed, or were told, that the money situation at home was “bad” or “good” or “stressful.” But that’s not education — that’s emotion.

Now, as parents, we want our children to have it better than we did. That means equipping them with the right tools to navigate the world of personal finance when they’re older. So what, exactly, should we share with our kids about our finances?

Your Money Values

“The first place my mind goes when thinking about your question is, share your money values,” said Brian Lawrence, partner and financial advisor at North Ridge Wealth Advisors. “Teaching values can start at a young age and last until they leave for college, or whatever the next step might be after high school.”

Consider the everyday — or even once-a-year — things you do with money that reflect your financial values. “The conversations can be as simple as saying, ‘We are a family that pays our bills on time’; ‘Our family doesn’t buy unnecessary things’; or ‘This family saves money so we can buy things that really matter, or go on special trips,'” Lawrence said. “The list is endless. And discussion should be welcome to help children understand ‘Why.'”

How Money Grows

Victor Wang, CEO at Stockpile, pointed out that many of us tell our kids, “Money doesn’t grow on trees,” but stop there. We should go further and show them where and how money does grow.

“Introducing concepts like compound interest and investing can help them understand the value of patience and long-term thinking,” Wang said. “You can start by explaining that when you invest money, it doesn’t just sit there. It can grow over time because the money you earn, through returns or dividends, can help you earn even more. Using simple examples or visual aids, like a chart or an online calculator, can make this concept clear and engaging for kids.”

Wang encouraged taking it a step further by showing your kids how you invest — whether through a retirement account or investing app.

“When kids see that investing is something you do little by little over time — not a one-off thing or some big gamble — they start to see that growing money is about patience and sticking with it,” he said. “Encouraging them to start small, maybe by saving part of their allowance or birthday money, and watching it grow bit by bit can help them feel excited and confident about handling their own money down the road.”

Your Relationship Between Work and Earnings

Kids, especially those too young to get summer jobs, may not clearly connect the dots about how their needs or wants are fulfilled by your income. You shouldn’t hold your hard work over their heads, but you should open a conversation about the concept of earning money by working.

Tishwash:  Iraq chairs the Asia-Pacific group and receives international endorsement

Iraq assumed the presidency of the Asia-Pacific Group for the month of July, and received the group's support for its candidacy for membership in the Human Rights Council (2026–2028). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that “the monthly meeting of the Asia-Pacific Group was held for the month of June at the United Nations headquarters in New York, during which the group’s countries announced their support and endorsement of the Republic of Iraq’s candidacy for membership in the Human Rights Council for the period 2026–2028.”

 He added that “this endorsement is the result of the intensive diplomatic efforts made by the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its permanent missions and embassies around the world, as part of the nomination campaign that reflects Iraq’s firm commitment to the values ​​and principles of human rights.”

 The Permanent Representative of the Republic of Iraq to the United Nations, Abbas Kazim Obaid, expressed his “deep thanks and gratitude to the member states of the regional group for their support,” noting that “this endorsement represents an important milestone in the nomination process and adds a double responsibility to the Iraqi delegation ahead of the elections scheduled for the United Nations General Assembly in October 2025.”

In his address to the group, Obaid stressed that “Iraq’s candidacy for membership in the Human Rights Council is based on the national achievements and measures taken by the Iraqi government in the field of promoting human rights, as well as Iraq's constructive cooperation with relevant UN mechanisms." During the meeting, the Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in his capacity as Chair of the Group for the month of June, announced that "Iraq will assume the chairmanship of the Asia-Pacific Group for July 2025, a step that reflects the growing confidence in Iraq's active role within the UN system.

The handover ceremony took place, and all missions of Member States and regional groups were officially informed." At the conclusion of the meeting, the Member States of the Group expressed their congratulations to Iraq on assuming the chairmanship of the Group, expressing their confidence in its ability to effectively represent the Group's interests and priorities.  linl

Tishwash:  Government advisor: The ceasefire agreement provided temporary relief to oil markets

 The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Thursday that the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the Zionist entity has returned oil markets to a downward trend.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Following the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the Zionist entity, which halted threats to close the vital Strait of Hormuz - threats issued within the context of escalation with the Zionist entity - oil markets returned to a downward path and headed towards peace indicators, after a sudden hedging wave that they witnessed at the height of tension."

He added, "The Strait of Hormuz is strategic, through which approximately 20% of the world's crude oil passes, in addition to a third of liquefied natural gas supplies destined for international markets under ongoing, long-term contracts." He noted that "the decision to cease the war has given energy markets a strong positive signal indicating the stability of supply routes, especially in the world's most important energy corridor."

“This was directly reflected in Brent crude prices, which are considered a benchmark for oil pricing, as they recorded an immediate drop of more than 5%, equivalent to $3 to $4 per barrel in a single session. This is considered one of the largest daily declines in recent times, which means the end of the threat and the return of balance to the market,” he continued, stressing that “the end of the threats that were threatening the Strait of Hormuz and the return to the language of calm represented a temporary moment of relief for the markets. However, in reality, this relief does not necessarily mean long-term stability, as the fragility of the truce and the possibility of renewed clashes if diplomatic efforts fail, maintain a high level of caution in future forecasts.”

He explained that "the market is now pricing oil and is once again being affected by traditional economic factors: from weak demand, to OPEC+ production policies, to competition between exporting countries from within and outside the organization."

He pointed out that "public finances in Iraq must adhere to the constants of hedging and financial discipline included in Law No. 13 of 2023 (the three-year budget), which is spending according to the optimal minimum requirements and resorting to domestic borrowing when needed, as permitted by the law and in a way that does not disrupt basic operational and investment expenditures, even with the disappearance of the (strategic oil premium) generated by threats to the Strait of Hormuz." link

I’m Far More Concerned About The Deficit Than World War 3

I’m Far More Concerned About The Deficit Than World War 3

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  June 24, 2025

I can understand why so many people are worried about World War 3 breaking out. It’s a completely rational concern. I just don’t happen to share it.

Why? Because regardless of the debate over whether the US strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities were a good idea, or a reckless risk of another expensive foreign entanglement, one thing is indisputable: America reminded the world of its immense military capabilities.

I’m Far More Concerned About The Deficit Than World War 3

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  June 24, 2025

I can understand why so many people are worried about World War 3 breaking out. It’s a completely rational concern. I just don’t happen to share it.

Why? Because regardless of the debate over whether the US strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities were a good idea, or a reckless risk of another expensive foreign entanglement, one thing is indisputable: America reminded the world of its immense military capabilities.

There’s not a single adversary nation that wants to risk armed conflict with the US after watching those stealth bombers obliterate their targets.

And the proof is already here: Iran’s foreign minister flew to Moscow seeking military support from Russia... and Putin offered absolutely nothing except for strong words.

This is why I’m more convinced than ever that World War 3 is NOT going to break out over this conflict: no other country wants F-35s or B-2 stealth bombers in their airspace, let alone the 75th Ranger Regiment and ‘Delta Force’ special operators.

There’s now a great deal of debate over the wisdom of the air strikes, including within the President’s own party.

I’m extremely sympathetic to the view that America cannot afford yet another foreign occupation brought on by regime change in the Middle East; it should hardly be controversial to say that a country should avoid pointless and unwinnable conflicts.

At the same time, it should also be uncontroversial to see obvious benefit in ensuring that your sworn enemy does not have nuclear bombs.

As I wrote yesterday, a fairly conservative cost estimate of the air strikes, naval deployment, and assistance to Israeli air defense is around $1 billion. That’s not nothing.

But it’s also clear that the government spends a lot more than that on completely idiotic and pointless programs.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics spends more than $1 billion each year just to publish dubious economic reports that private companies (like ADP) already produce for free... and with greater accuracy. Would anyone rationally argue that the Bureau’s reports are more important than neutralizing a nuclear threat?

 

Unfortunately I’m not sure anyone in Washington is engaging in this kind of rational cost/benefit analysis... which is why the US has a $36 trillion national debt.

Private businesses and individuals have to make these rational decisions every day about how to allocate scarce resources— primarily time, money, and energy. The government, on the other hand, pretends that it has unlimited, infinite resources.

And this ‘unlimited resource’ mentality is FAR more concerning to me than the prospect of World War 3.

Without a change, the US could easily find itself in an existential financial crisis within the next eight years. I’m not being dramatic.

And in today’s podcast, we explain why and how that’s likely; we discuss:

Why the Social Security cliff is coming faster than expected—and how even its predicted 2033 insolvency is optimistic.

How this problem—and America’s debt addiction— could be solved, if any politician were willing to even address it.

How the US missed a golden opportunity to refinance its debts at much lower interest rates just four years ago.

How the US used to be capable of making wise investments— like the Louisiana Purchase or buying Alaska.

What the looming fiscal crisis means in practical terms for Americans (Spoiler: inflation).

Why foreign governments and central banks are shifting their reserves away from US dollars and towards strategic assets— not just gold, but platinum, industrial metals and even uranium.

And why the companies that produce these real assets are remarkably cheap.

To your freedom,   James Hickman   Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC

P.S. The clock is ticking—America likely has eight years at most before a financial crisis unleashes runaway inflation.

Foreign central banks know it. They’re dumping dollars and buying gold.

But they’re not buying small, overlooked gold companies—some producing for $1,000/oz and trading below their cash on hand.

That’s where the real opportunity lies: low downside, massive upside.

Our 4th Pillar research has already uncovered multiple winners—up 2–3x—and others could take off any day.
