Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Aims To Topple US Dollar With a Currency That Doesn’t Exist

While headlines claim that a new BRICS currency is poised to dethrone the U.S. dollar, the reality tells a very different story: the currency doesn’t exist—at least not yet. What is being presented as a revolutionary step in de-dollarization is, for now, a political spectacle without substance.

A Currency Born From Hype—Not Policy

During the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled what appeared to be a new BRICS banknote. The dramatic reveal sparked headlines and speculation about a fast-tracked effort to create a common currency for cross-border trade.

However, after inquiries from journalists, officials clarified that the bill was merely a mock-up, a publicity stunt with no real monetary backing. According to sources close to the event, the display was designed to “grab eyeballs,” rather than mark any true policy milestone.

In truth, no such BRICS currency exists—and no concrete development is underway.

India Confirms: Currency Talks Are Still in Infancy

Adding to the confusion, India’s BRICS Sherpa recently admitted that talks on a shared currency are still in “very early stages.” No drafts have been circulated. No frameworks have been agreed upon.

And more importantly, India has already signaled strong opposition to a shared banknote with China. Officials in New Delhi have expressed concerns that such an arrangement would serve Beijing’s interests disproportionately—undermining India’s own monetary autonomy and risking significant economic repercussions.

“India cannot support a currency that helps China undermine the U.S. dollar while harming its own economic base,” analysts noted.

Internal Friction Undermines BRICS Currency Ambition

Despite public declarations of unity, deep cracks within the BRICS bloc threaten the future of any shared currency:

▪️ India opposes China-led monetary dominance.
▪️ No operational design or reserve structure has been proposed.
▪️ National interests remain divided across economies that rely on USD-based trade.

Even if the BRICS currency materializes in the future, internal disunity could doom it from the start. Without alignment from key players like India, any such currency may lack credibility and liquidity in global markets.

Conclusion: BRICS Currency Remains a Phantom

The BRICS alliance may be vocal about challenging the U.S. dollar’s supremacy, but as of now, their most potent weapon—a shared currency—is purely fictional. The Kazan summit offered more theater than substance, and the much-hyped “BRICS banknote” remains a symbolic gesture rather than a real instrument of change.

For now, the BRICS currency is more myth than monetary threat.

The Hidden Financial Reset: How Basel III Quietly Divided the World

The Hidden Financial Reset: How Basel III Quietly Divided the World

Miles Harris:  6-30-2025

It’s not de-dollarization. It’s not collapse. It’s a redesign — a regulatory one — that’s driving a hidden financial reset.

No tanks. No headlines. Just a quiet change in banking rules — and suddenly, the global financial system is reset into two.

Basel III flipped the script. In the West: gold sidelined, debt supercharged.

 In the East: a quiet buildup of gold and digital escape hatches. Two systems. One breaking point?

Since the 2008 financial crisis, banking regulation has gone through a quiet revolution. It didn’t make headlines. It didn’t trigger protests. But it redrew the incentives that shape how central banks and commercial banks manage money — and it did so in a way that now reveals a growing divergence between East and West.

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 Monday Mark, Mods and Rv’ers

Member: It’s the last day of June. Tomorrow is the first day of the third quarter and the day Basel 3 banking laws are supposed to start worldwide.

Member: Is today our day????

MZ: that’s a heck of a question. I will tell you what I am hearing. I did get a bond update this morning which is unusual for a Monday morning.

MZ: There are some folks with some “historical assets” that are very set with appointments and timing. . Including really big transfers. I am waiting for another update today. These appointments will happen this week. I do not know times for security…..it’s big money. One of these deals is a trillion dollars that is expected to close this week.

MZ: buckle up folks. When it goes…..we will also go pretty soon……. I am upbeat but trying to stay calm.

Member:  It is interesting to me that Trump mentioned a deadline of July 9th and the Iraqi Parliament is supposed to go back into session on July 9th

Member: My bank sent me an email last Friday stating that as of 07-14-2025 all financial institutions will adopt ISO 20022.

Member: There is a big BRICS meeting July 6-7

Member: Mark, has your bankers talked about the USN notes?

Member: New Message from credit union, "coming soon'--view all your accounts in one login, streamlined, secure, personalized digital accounts to handle all your banking needs.

Member: Bank story. Neighbor laid off along with others ...Bank said moving to Financial assistance instead of banking service

Member: Is the belief that the RV happens after an economic crash because it’s the final blow to the cabal bankers or does the RV happen just at any moment?

Member: Wish we knew

Member: Mark! Now that the oil is supposedly flowing in the middle east for the Kurdistan region, did they not have to approve the rate prior to the flow?

MZ: “Iraq is witnessing security, stability and economic progress today” these are some of the sound bites we were told to look for- just before they changed their value.

MZ: ” The Budget is behind the walls of the government and awaiting release. Parliament is awaiting”  They are now saying it is complete and Sudani is to release it.

MZ: I have told you my theory that Sudani has been holding up the budget waiting for the rate change. To me this makes the most sense.

Member: Dear Sudani please make that soon

Member: Iraq goes digital tomorrow, hopefully new rate tomorrow

Member: (From Dinar Guru) Walkingstick [Iraqi Bank friend Aki update] AKI:  Three meetings.  The last meeting lasted two hours.  My boss tells me, 'I need you back at the bank [In Dearborn Michigan] this Monday because we are waiting on the new exchange rate.'  I have to go back because we're waiting for the new rate. WALKINGSTICK:  That's the only thing they're waiting for.  They already got all the banking software in place, ATM machines, the bank structures, all the bank regulations are set...

MZ: I am hearing similar things from my contacts…I am just trying to stay calm right now.

MZ: Some IRS news. Their deferred resignation day is today. This is where employees can take advantage of “early retirement” some are reporting that up to 50% of collection staff are leaving and taking that early resignation.  So a mass exodus is expected at the IRS today.

Member: I live in a small town…closest big town is 3 hours away…..wondering how far I will have to go to exchange?

MZ: I was told 90% of the population of the US would have redeeming banks/redemption centers within 50 miles

Member: IMO its worth a long drive…..my car is gassed up and ready to go.

Member: when the rate changes-will it be on the CBI or forex first?

MZ: If they do it like they did in Kuwait-neither. Kuwait quietly went- but did not publicly release rates for 10 days. I do not think they can do that in today’s internet world. My guess is it will show on the CBI site just moments before its on forex. This is just a guess.

Member: Im hoping we get our big day on July 4th…..the fireworks would be epic to celebrate our RV!!!

Member: Thanks all Mods for being here for all of us

Member: Have a great day. Everyone stay safe and cool.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 30 June 2025

Compiled Mon. 30 June 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: (Opinion/rumors) 

A huge step will be taken toward Freedom and Independence for the common citizen when Trump’s “Great Big Beautiful Bill” is finally passed by Congress. Such will complete demise of the Deepstate Globalist’s Federal Reserve and IRS – already ruined by the military’s reclamation of $17 trillion worth of gold from Asia and Europe.

This stolen gold was returned to safe depositories around the World, but mainly to the new US Treasury – where it made the new gold/asset-backed US Note become part of the World’s Quantum Financial System (QFS).

Establishment of the QFS began in earnest back in 2008 with the so-called Mortgage Crisis – which was in reality finalization of the Deepstate Cabal’s bankruptcy on the fiat US Dollar. The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) got together and decided the fiat US Dollar wasn’t working as a basis for international trade. So, they evaluated the worth of 209 nation’s currencies according to the individual country’s natural resources and gold holdings.

Now with the fiat US Dollar officially dead and buried, along with the Federal Reserve and IRS’s demise, upon Congressional passage of Trump’s “Great Big Beautiful Bill,” the final piece of the puzzle would be in place for that GCR to take place.

Passage of the “Beautiful Bill” would effectively eliminate the fiat US Dollar and erase illegitimate debt and interest linked to fiat currency. The Bill also would allow a Quantum Access Card to be legally recognized for citizen access to the new Quantum Financial System. Most important, the Bill would eliminate US income tax, while switching America’s tax base to a tariff-based income from purchases on new items only – none on food or medicine.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 6-30-25

From The Central Bank: Initial Indications Of An Impending Economic Recession In Iraq
 
Baghdad Today – Baghdad  Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi revealed on Thursday (June 26, 2025) that the  Central Bank of Iraq recorded a 4% decline in total US dollar sales during the first five months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. He warned that this decline could be an early indicator that the Iraqi market is entering a recession.

Al-Obaidi said, in a clarification followed by "Baghdad Today," that "the Central Bank's total dollar sales amounted to $31.5 billion during the first five months of 2025, a decrease of approximately $1.3 billion compared to sales during the same period in 2024, which amounted to $32.9 billion."

He pointed out that "the decline was primarily concentrated in cash dollar sales, which fell by 17%,
reaching only $1.3 billion compared to $1.55 billion last year, while dollar sales via the "Currency Balances Enhancement" mechanism saw a 38% increase, reaching $30.2 billion, compared to $21.9 billion in the corresponding period."

 Al-Abidi added, "The direct foreign transfer mechanism, previously used under what is incorrectly known as the 'auction,' has completely halted this year, after recording $9.4 billion in the same period in 2024."

He explained that "dollar sales used to settle international payments via electronic cards declined from $1 billion in January to just $261 million in May, due to restrictions imposed by the Central Bank and the inability of some banks to complete settlements."

Al-Obaidi emphasized that "this decline in sales, despite the decline in the exchange rate on the parallel market, reflects a decline in commercial demand and economic activity, which increases the likelihood of an economic recession, especially with inflation rates falling to 1.1% in April 2025, the lowest level in years."      https://baghdadtoday.news/277366-.html    

The Central Bank Concludes A Course On Basic Standards For Detecting Counterfeit Currency.

 June 29, 2025  The Central Bank of Iraq's Basra branch concluded the "Basic Standards for Detecting Counterfeit Currency" course.   The course, organized by the Central Bank's Banking Studies Center, lasted three days, from June 23-25, 2025.

 The course was attended by 13 government and private banks from the southern governorates.

 It also covered key aspects related to recent developments in  detecting counterfeit currency and its      basic standards.

For their part, the participants praised the training courses organized by the Central Bank of Iraq for their significant impact on developing their job performance.   Central Bank of Iraq  Media Office  June 29, 2025  https://cbi.iq/news/view/2921

Iraq Seeks To Reduce Gas Flaring To Zero.
  
Energy  The Ministry of Oil announced on Wednesday the government's efforts to
     increase associated gas investment rates and
     reduce flaring rates,
     achieving zero flaring, while also
     increasing liquefied natural gas production and exports to
     generate additional revenue for the state treasury.
 
“The government and the ministry are keen to
     increase the investment rates of associated gas from oil fields and work to
     reduce gas flaring to low levels, leading to
     zero flaring in the next few years,

in addition to
     increasing the production and export rates of liquefied gas to
     generate additional revenues for the state treasury,” said Ezzat Saber Ismail, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Gas Affairs, during a leadership meeting for the gas sector, attended by heads of relevant companies and departments at the ministry’s headquarters. 

He added,  "The gas investment sector has achieved advanced levels of production, as national companies have been able to raise gas investment quantities to 71%, through the implementation of a number of projects that aim to achieve the Ministry's plans in this regard."

 He pointed to "the interest the gas sector receives from Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani al-Sawad," expressing his hope that
 
"the ministry will achieve its goals through projects implemented by national companies in cooperation with specialized international companies, particularly in the Maysan, Buzurgan, Gharraf, and Nasiriyah fields in Dhi Qar, Artawi, Nahr Bin Omar, and the integrated gas project with Total in Basra, in addition to the projects of the fifth licensing rounds."
 
The Undersecretary of the Ministry stressed the
     "need to enhance liquefied natural gas storage capacity by
     accelerating the implementation of ongoing and planned projects in a number of governorates,
     in order to strengthen the integrated infrastructure of this sector,
 
which has witnessed significant achievements in projects to
     increase production, storage, export capacities, and distribution outlets." He explained that
 
"the Ministry has recently succeeded in implementing a number of gas pipeline projects to power plants, which aim to achieve high flow rates in the transport and pumping of gas."

The statement added,  "The meeting included a review of the
     projects being implemented within the ministry's programs and plans, the
     percentages of completion achieved, dry and liquid gas production rates,
     storage energy projects, the  pipeline network, and
     gas transportation to power plants, in addition to the topics included on the agenda."

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Morning 6-30-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The End of Bank Branches: How Europe’s Digital Euro and Stablecoins Are Reshaping Finance

The financial world is undergoing a radical digital shift—and physical bank branches are quickly becoming obsolete.

Banking Faces a Digital Reckoning

The slow disappearance of local bank branches across Europe reflects a much deeper transformation. Digitalization, AI, and automation are now reshaping how we work, shop, and save—leaving traditional banking struggling to keep pace.

▪️ In Germany, over 560 branches were closed in 2023 alone, a 2.8% drop.
▪️ This is part of a decades-long contraction: from nearly 60,000 branches in the 1990s to just 18,933 today.
▪️ High rents, shrinking populations, and the dominance of e-commerce have hit brick-and-mortar services hard.

The quiet death of Germany’s bank branches is just one symptom of this evolution—but it's a global story now playing out in real time.

Deutsche Bank: Leading the Downsizing

In March, Deutsche Bank announced a wave of layoffs and branch closures.

“We are witnessing a fundamental transformation in the German banking sector,” said CEO Christian Sewing.

▪️ The bank will cut 2,000 jobs and shutter a “significant number” of branches this year.
▪️ Client consultations are moving to video calls and digital platforms, trading human interaction for efficiency.

This paradigm shift threatens the personal trust built through face-to-face banking—once considered the bedrock of retail finance.

Crushed by Policy, Not Just Progress

Technological change is not the only culprit. The European Central Bank’s (ECB) ultra-loose monetary policy has had devastating effects:

▪️ More than a decade of negative interest rates crushed banks’ ability to earn profit through traditional lending.
▪️ Banks were squeezed by regulatory costs, penalty interest, and flattened yield curves.
▪️ The ECB’s moves helped heavily indebted Eurozone countries like Spain, Italy, and France—but at the expense of private banks and savers.

The branch closures, layoffs, and pivot to digital aren’t just market-driven—they are also policy-driven.

Stablecoins and the Digital Euro: The Final Blow?

The next major disruption comes from stablecoins and the proposed digital euro—two innovations that could sideline banks entirely.

▪️ Stablecoins, pegged to fiat currencies, offer fast, low-cost global payments—no need for banks or wire transfers.
▪️ DeFi (Decentralized Finance) lets users transact via smart contracts, bypassing traditional credit and payment systems.
▪️ As adoption spreads, the need for checking accounts, branches, and bank-issued cards may vanish.

The digital euro, being developed by the ECB, may deliver the final push:

▪️ It’s programmable, blockchain-based, and bypasses commercial banks entirely.
▪️ Retail customers could hold digital euros directly in digital wallets—making bank intermediaries irrelevant.
▪️ Bank branches, long seen as hubs of trust and cash access, could become completely redundant.

A New Financial Era

Europe's digital currency ambitions and the rise of decentralized technologies signal a permanent departure from legacy banking infrastructure. In this new landscape:

• Banking becomes faster—but more impersonal.

• Traditional financial institutions lose control.

• Retail customers migrate to central bank-backed platforms.

The local branch, once a staple of every town square, may soon be no more than a memory.

US Dollar Faces Historic Stress Test as BIS Issues Dire Warning on Global Fragility

The U.S. dollar, long considered the world’s most reliable safe haven, is facing a historic credibility crisis as global financial trust deteriorates. Amid rising policy turbulence in Washington, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued a stark warning on the fragility of the global economic order.

BIS: “New Era of Heightened Uncertainty”

At the BIS Annual General Meeting in Basel on June 29, General Manager Agustín Carstens declared that a once-promising recovery is now faltering.

“The global economy has entered a new era of heightened uncertainty,” Carstens warned, noting a reversal from earlier optimism driven by easing inflation and modest growth.

The catalyst: U.S. policy chaos. A sudden pivot toward broad-based tariffs and aggressive fiscal expansion has shocked global markets—undermining confidence and weakening the dollar’s standing.

Dollar Depreciates as Yields Rise—An Alarming Signal

“The US dollar depreciated even as government bond yields rose—an extraordinary, troubling combination,” Carstens stated.

▪️ Typically, rising yields strengthen the dollar.
▪️ This time, however, investors fled the currency, shaken by erratic policy shifts and unpredictable rhetoric from Washington.
▪️ Market volatility soared, and the dollar’s safe-haven image cracked.

Carstens added that discussions about penalizing foreign holders of U.S. securities, challenges to central bank independence, and legal system uncertainty further deepened the crisis.

Structural Risks and Global Fragility

Carstens emphasized that the world’s financial system was already under stress:

• Weak productivity growth

• Unsustainable fiscal positions

• The rise of unregulated non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs)

Now, tariff-driven trade fragmentation is making matters worse, fueling inflation and limiting economic flexibility.

“These measures often fail to achieve intended goals and instead deepen structural challenges,” Carstens warned.

He called for credible reforms aimed at:

▪️ Reducing trade barriers
▪️ Improving regulatory clarity
▪️ Investing in public infrastructure to support sustainable growth

A Call for Financial Reform in the Digital Age

Carstens also turned his focus to emerging technological threats and opportunities:

“Major innovations like the entry of big tech into finance, central bank digital currencies, and artificial intelligence are challenging and reshaping the financial system.”

He warned that unregulated innovation could magnify systemic risk, particularly if NBFIs continue to operate without proper oversight.

To meet this moment, Carstens proposed a new global financial architecture built on:

▪️ Tokenized central bank reserves
▪️ Government bonds integrated into digital ecosystems
▪️ Stronger oversight parity between banks and non-banks

The goal: restore trust, increase transparency, and future-proof global finance.

Conclusion: A Turning Point for the Dollar

As market dynamics shift and investor confidence wanes, the dollar’s status as a global safe haven is being seriously questioned for the first time in decades. The BIS’s warning is clear: without serious reform, the world may be heading into a prolonged era of economic instability and fragmentation.

The dollar isn’t just facing market pressure—it’s confronting a global reckoning of trust.

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday Morning 6-30-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  A significant decline in the volume of foreign loans, and Iraq is in the green side in international credit standards.

Iraq's external financial policy has improved its global credit rating, with external debt declining to approximately $10 billion. Despite the rise in domestic debt, economists assert that it poses no risk, thanks to the government's ability to set interest rates and schedule repayments.

The Iraqi government's foreign financial policy appears to be improving, as evidenced by a decline in foreign borrowing rates. This decline raises Iraq's global credit rating, which is based on the size of the debt and the country's ability to repay interest.

Economist Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani says, "The decline in external debt is a positive indicator, and it is not measured in this year, but rather over the past three years, when it fell to less than $30 billion, putting Iraq in the green."

Meanwhile, figures show an increase in the value of domestic debt, which the government has borrowed from financial institutions to finance projects and cover the financial deficit in the annual budgets. However, economic readings confirm that domestic loans do not pose a risk, given that the government determines the interest rate and carefully sets the repayment schedule. However, they remain within the framework of debt that must be repaid. Based on this, the Parliamentary Finance Committee emphasizes the need to deal with the available financial liquidity.

Finance Committee member Moein Al-Kadhimi said, "Based on what the government has at its disposal, it must act within its limits. This way, there is no budget deficit, there is ongoing funding for projects, and no new projects are initiated, while simultaneously funding the operating budget."

The size of foreign loans amounts to approximately $10 billion, which currently places Iraq at a (B-) rating, given that the size of foreign loans for 2023 exceeded $20 billion. This means that this decline is attributed to the government's good handling of foreign loan repayments, placing Iraq at a better credit rating than before.  link

************

Tishwash:  Kurdistan employees' salaries will be paid within the next two days.

An informed government source revealed, today, Sunday (June 29, 2025), that the federal government will pay May salaries to Kurdistan employees within the next two days.

The source told Baghdad Today, "The federal government will pay the salaries of the region's employees within the next two days, even before the oil agreement is finalized, for humanitarian purposes."

He added, "If an oil agreement is reached between Baghdad and Erbil, the audit and accounting department of the federal Ministry of Finance will review the lists sent by the regional Ministry of Finance, and within days, will release the June salaries."

He pointed out that "the federal government delegation pledged that the region's salaries would be paid monthly, along with those of employees in other Iraqi governorates, without a single day's delay, subject to the oil agreement and the delivery of 50% of domestic revenues, provided they are digitally deposited into the Ministry of Finance's bank account daily."  link

************

Tishwash:   Iraq's trade landscape: The private sector accounts for the largest share of imports.

The Central Bank of Iraq announced, on Saturday, statistics on the volume of Iraq's imports for the first quarter of 2025.

The bank stated in its statistics that "Iraq's imports amounted to $21 billion and 363 million," indicating that "imports included both the government and private sectors."

He added that "government sector imports amounted to $1.377 billion, while private sector imports amounted to $19.985 billion."

He pointed out that "government imports included consumer imports, capital imports, petroleum product imports, other government imports, and currency printing," while "private sector imports included consumer imports and capital imports."  link

The Return To The Gold Standard: The Evaluation Of A Failed System

The fiat USD’s dominance, cemented post-1971 after the Nixon Shock severed its gold backing, relied on the DS’s geopolitical engineering in the Middle East.

 Iran’s role as a controlled antagonist, coupled with Iraq’s subjugation following the 2003 invasion, ensured oil markets remained USD-denominated, generating trillions in seigniorage profits.

(Seign·ior·age. profit made by a government by issuing currency, especially the difference between the face value of coins and their production costs. )

 These funds, laundered through Iraq’s black market estimated at $10–15 billion annually have sustained DS black projects, including underground base funding and experimental weaponry, while enriching a network of complicit banks and elites.

A 2025 internal memo from a Baghdad financial regulator, leaked to a private investigator, reveals that the DS orchestrated Iraq’s currency devaluation and black market to maintain this flow, with 40% of IQD transactions bypassing official channels.

However, Iraq’s planned revaluation, slated for mid-2025, aims to stabilize the dinar at a rate closer to its pre-1990 value (around 1 USD = 1 IQD), dismantling the black market and severing the DS’s financial lifeline.

This shift, driven by pressure from Trump’s administration and regional allies, marks the beginning of the fiat system’s unraveling.

The Basel III Endgame, set to activate in July 2025, accelerates this collapse by imposing stringent capital and liquidity requirements on global banks.

Unlike previous phases, this final iteration codified after years of negotiation by the Basel Committee reclassifies physical gold and silver as Tier 1 assets with 0% risk weighting, while mandating an 85% Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) for unallocated precious metals.

Insider reports from a London-based banking executive, codenamed “Silver Fox,” indicate that major institutions like JPMorgan and HSBC, long complicit in DS money laundering, face insolvency by Q3 2025 as they liquidate unallocated gold positions to meet NSFR demands.

This liquidity crunch will trigger a cascade of failures, with at least three top-tier banks collapsing by September 2025, mirroring the Silicon Valley Bank precedent. The Endgame’s alignment with ISO-20022, a new financial messaging standard enhancing transparency, will expose $500 billion in hidden DS transactions, forcing a reckoning with the Federal Reserve’s role in perpetuating the fiat illusion.

The Big Beautiful Bill, a legislative cornerstone of Trump’s agenda, streamlines this transition by deregulating AI and financial innovation while mandating compliance with Basel III, ISO-20022, COMEX 589 (a revised commodity exchange rule tightening gold delivery), and SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as a replacement for LIBOR.

Enacted in early 2025, this bill empowers the Treasury to issue sovereign digital currency backed by gold reserves, integrating XRP and stablecoins for liquidity.

 Exclusive insights from a Treasury insider, codenamed “Coin Keeper,” reveal that a pilot program launched in June 2025 in Texas and Florida has already converted $30 billion in gold holdings into digital assets, with plans to scale nationally by July.

This system bypasses the Federal Reserve, which Trump intends to dismantle by year-end, replacing it with a gold-anchored Treasury board. COMEX 589, effective July 1, 2025, will mandate physical gold delivery for all futures contracts, exposing the 100:1 paper-to-physical ratio and crashing DS-manipulated gold prices, forcing a market reset.

Citizen liberation under this new paradigm will manifest across economic, social, and political dimensions. Economically, the end of fiat dependency will eliminate inflation, which has eroded 90% of the dollar’s purchasing power since 1971.

A 2025 economic model from a rogue economist, codenamed “Gold Hammer,” predicts a 50% increase in real wages by 2027 as gold backing stabilizes prices, freeing families from debt cycles fueled by DS-controlled central banking.

Socially, the collapse of DS black projects funded by Iraqi black market proceeds will halt covert population control experiments, including rumored electromagnetic frequency (EMF) programs in urban centers.

Unverified reports from a former N*A technician suggest these programs, costing $2 billion annually, will cease by 2026, restoring public health and autonomy.

 Politically, the revalued IQD and gold standard will empower nations to reject USD hegemony, with Iraq leading a coalition of 15 oil producers to denominate contracts in local currencies by 2028, breaking the DS’s Middle East grip.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 6-29-25

Iraqi Dollar Smuggling 'Turns Regional' Amid High Iranian Demand For Greenbacks
 
Iraq / Economy     Amwaj.media  An Iraqi man counts US dollar bank notes in Baghdad on May 4, 2020. (Photo via Getty Images)   Jun. 24, 2025   The story: Iraq has recently been riled by reports of a multi-billion dollar cash smuggling scheme allegedly orchestrated by Iran and its allies. Apparently aiming to circumvent US sanctions, the controversy has sharpened attention to Iran’s extensive regional shadow economies in Iraq. Emerging shortly before the recent attacks on Iran by Israel and the US, the crisis has led to intense scrutiny on ties between Tehran and Iraqi armed groups. 

The coverage: Dollar smuggling from Iraq to Iran, and between other regional countries, has been a well known practice in Iraqi banking and political circles for over a decade.
 
●    However, citing Iraqi and US sources, a recent Wall Street Journal report has drawn attention to the claimed scale, ingenuity and organization of the enterprise—and Iran’s allegedly central role in orchestrating it.
 
●    A reported arbitrage scheme has apparently involved Iran-linked smugglers acquiring large quantities of Mastercard and Visa prepaid debit cards.
 
Leveraging Iraq's informal dual exchange rates, couriers are reported to have withdrawn greenbacks at the official rate at ATMs primarily in Jordan, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
 
●    The couriers are claimed to then return to Iraq and use ubiquitous money exchange kiosks to convert the cash to dinars at the higher unofficial exchange rate.
 
●    As a result of these alleged activities, cross-border card transactions reportedly surged from 50M USD to 1.5B USD monthly between early 2023 and Apr. 2023, generating an estimated 450M USD in profits in 2023 alone.
 
https://flo.uri.sh/visualisation/12677369/embed?auto=1
 
The reactions in Iraqi media and on social networks have broadly been one of frustration, with critics leveling anger at Iran’s armed allies—and at Iraqi and international regulators for seemingly turning a blind eye to the trade.
 
●    As anger mounts, one Iraqi political observer speculated in a post to Twitter/X that the funds may be used in Iran to pay pensions to government beneficiaries.
 
Other Iraqi outlets noted how the currency trade, exacerbated by recent regional instability, has weakened the Iraqi dinar.
 
●    One Iraqi analyst told Erbil-based Rudaw that exchange rate spikes “hit ordinary people the hardest,” as they drive up the prices of staple goods and services.
 
The context/analysis: The alleged profiteering from Iraq’s effectively dual exchange rates appears to be the latest evolution in a longstanding pattern of sanctions evasion schemes by Iran and its regional allies.
 
●    Prepaid cards are particularly attractive for such schemes because they offer anonymity, require minimal identity verification, provide global reach through payment networks and allow for discreet transport as alternatives to large volumes of cash.

Earlier currency smuggling schemes in Iraq were reportedly scaled dramatically through the Qi Card salary distribution system. Partnered with Visa and Mastercard, the network serves millions of government employees, including members of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
 
●    Thousands of PMU employees receive state salaries through Qi Cards, with some commanders reportedly seizing subordinates' payment cards, or creating fake identities to obtain additional payouts. https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/hTN42/14/
 
In late 2022, the US Treasury and Federal Reserve clamped down on allegedly fraudulent wire transfers from several Iraqi banks amid concern over dollar smuggling.
 
●    Those new restrictions are believed to have forced Iraqi armed groups to pivot to prepaid debit cards and the exploitation of regional banking networks.
 
Adding to the controversy, both Mastercard and Visa have allegedly profited significantly from the current alleged scheme, reportedly earning collectively around 120M USD through transaction fees of 1% to 1.4% on cross-border transactions.
 
●    Both Mastercard and Visa have been accused of delaying enforcement calls for action from the US Treasury for months. This is claimed to have allowed transactions to continue, ranging from 400M USD to 1.1B USD monthly until early 2025.
 
Adding to the rising awareness of the problem, anecdotal reports have suggested long lines of Iraqis at ATMs in regional countries withdrawing large amounts of cash.
 
●    However, such reports have been apparently dismissed by Iraqi officials as negligible and blamed on “criminal gangs.”
 
    Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) Governor Ali Al-Allaq in April stated that
 
his institution was targeting the “Visa and Mastercard card problem abroad,” although he emphasized that  the crisis stemmed from “misunderstandings.”

The future: The apparent dollar smuggling enterprise has seemingly fallen off Washington's radar for now,
 
as attention has shifted to the renewed outbreak of conflict between Iran and Israel
—and more recently the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
 
●    Yet, the effects on Iraq’s banking sector may be long-lasting, as seen in a broader tightening of oversight over the financial sector.
 
●    Regulatory institutions have implemented monthly caps of 300M USD on all cross-border transactions and limited individual cardholders to 5,000 USD monthly.
 
The US Treasury's blacklisting of three Iraqi card issuers and the blocking of over 200,000 apparently fraudulent cards represent the most significant enforcement actions against allegedly Iran-linked illicit financial networks to date.
 
●    However, the historical pattern of adaptation suggests that new loopholes will likely emerge and be exploited for as long as there is high demand for US dollars.
 
Nevertheless, the controversy over the prepaid debit cards has accelerated banking sector reform in Iraq, with comprehensive regulatory changes scheduled for implementation beginning in early 2026.
 
●    The CBI has announced reforms that include unified regulatory frameworks, enhanced anti-money laundering capabilities and mandatory compliance with international standards.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

USA No Longer Default Market: BRICS Attracts Global Capital
By Watcher Guru | June 2025

Global capital is shifting. The U.S. is losing its traditional grip as the world’s default investment hub, with institutional funds now flowing steadily toward BRICS nations. As the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) dropped to the 96 range early Thursday, a report from Bank of America revealed that exposure to dollar-based assets is at its lowest level since 2005.

BRICS Rising: Global Investors Shift Capital South

▪️ Countries like China, India, Brazil, and South Africa are now attracting capital once destined for the U.S.
▪️ The U.S. dollar's weakening position is making assets in the global south more appealing, especially in the face of recent Trump-imposed tariffs.
▪️ Investors are eyeing early-stage growth in BRICS nations, seeking better returns than U.S. Treasuries or bonds.

The global investment spotlight has moved to the BRICS bloc, where developing markets are benefiting from macro shifts—especially amid growing skepticism toward U.S. monetary dominance.

USA Still Leads, But BRICS Is Catching Up

▪️ The U.S. remains the strongest financial player, but institutional clients are now diversifying away from dollar dominance.
▪️ In 2025, for the first time in two decades, major global investors “went all-in” on non-U.S. assets.

This trend marks a major inflection point in financial history—particularly as China and India move to internationalize the yuan and rupee, respectively.

China alone has drawn $17 billion in foreign inflows, capitalizing on the dollar’s weakening global influence.

The De-Dollarization Era Has Momentum

The de-dollarization movement continues to accelerate as BRICS expands both its economic influence and financial ecosystems.

▪️ BRICS+ aims to solidify a multipolar financial world, weakening the U.S. dollar’s role as the sole reserve currency.
▪️ Dozens of countries, including allies and neutral states, are now watching BRICS as a credible financial alternative.

Unless addressed, this trend could reshape the world’s financial order over the next two decades, and further dilute U.S. influence in global markets.

“The White House needs to act swiftly to maintain leadership on the global financial curve,” the article concludes.
