First of all, let me just say we did get word from a Canadian listener that HSBC is no longer a thing in Canada, so they've been absorbed, I think, by RBC Royal Bank Canada. But you've got RBC, you've got Scotia Bank, you've got TD Bank, which I think is Toronto Dominion, I'm not sure, TD Bank, yep, and there's one other bank too that's a major player, and I did not recognize that fourth name, but you guys know what I'm saying.

Check to see if you get an email from Wells Fargo in Canada and you get a toll free number. Try it. Let's see if that is the same number. It could be the same number that we're going to get down here in the lower 48 possible the upper 51st state, Canada. Amazing. Think about that. That possibility Canada as a 51st state of the United States. I don't know, guys. I'm just saying, you know, I really love Alberta, I love British Columbia too. Been to Montreal twice, very enjoyable .
So we'll see what happens. And you know, you can import and bring in some backspace if, if that becomes the case for us. But right now, you know, you Canadians, you decide if there's a referendum you want to be part or not -
All right, now, let's get back to the intel we have heard two different time frames - both to the back Wall of Monday the 28th of July, this coming Monday.
However, one piece of Intel, fair, strong source is saying Wednesday, Thursday, for notifications and exchanges. Another good source is saying Thursday, Friday.
I think we're looking pretty good for you guys to get notifications and exchange starting Thursday and today is what Tuesday, the 22nd so that would be the 24th Thursday, three times four is eight, just saying, China's favorite number. Hello.
Could be the case, but be prepared for an email to come out, could be tomorrow, Could be the case, but be prepared for an email to come out, could be tomorrow, and you'll have the instructions on how to call your appointment through the call centers that relays you directly to the redemption center that's indicated by your zip code, so that you'll speak with a live individual human being at the redemption center that will most likely greet you or be there for you, or exchange you or redeem zim for you, whatever At the redemption center.
That's going to be good. I like that idea, that's one person's name you want to write down or remember. So when that happens, I spoke with you on the phone. That's everything you know.
So this is looking good. Now let's say what hasn't happened as of today, redemption center leaders went in, in their codes, within their biometrics or their retinal scan, and guess what, no rates came up today on their redemption center screens, And so they left early, about four hour day.
Now we know they're going to get an email in the morning, probably around nine, to let them know to come in. Come in. What time I think they'll be going in? What about the Forex? Oh, that new Iraqi dinar rate that was out Sunday in Iraq did not make its way on to Forex yet as of today.
Now, that could change overnight. It could change tomorrow, Wednesday and Sunday are the days that normally rates change and come up when I say rate change, currencies get added or deleted from the Forex. Okay, so I predict that the new Iraqi dinar rate will come up tomorrow. But even if it doesn't, doesn't mean that it's not going to happen by the time we get to the redemption center.
Yeah, we did get word out of the rock that the new rate did come out. It's kind of a new not get it. Don't know what it is, but I know that the contract rate for the dinar was continuing to go up into that range that we wanted to see it in. So we see where it is when we get to redemption center. That'll be kind of a fun surprise.
If they offer it to you, if you have dinar and they offer it great if they don't ask for it. Pardon me, do you have Don't, don't, don't, don't. Do that accent I'm just playing. Do you have a contract rate for the Iraqi dinar, and may I have it please?.
All right. What about other things? What about Doge payments? Did I tell you on Thursday that those payments were set to start August 1, 2nd 3rd based on the alphabetical order of your last name and the last four digits of your social security number.
So if you're an early alphabet, probably get it on day one, August 1, if you're middle of the alphabet, probably day two. If you're s above or whatever, if you're the end of the alphabet, it's probably day three.
Second. Third is when you're doing I direct deposit, okay, I direct deposit to your account. And they know your account, especially if you're taking Social Security already, they know your account, you'll get your Social Security account, and won't they be surprised when they see that.
They don't know how much that's going to be yet. I know how much it is, but they don't know, you know, I know how much it's going to be, and it's going to be substantial. All right, so what else? What about Social Security increases? Guess what?
Remember I told you a week or so ago I didn't believe that they were going to occur in the month of July. No, they're not, but they're supposed to in the month of August. So if your normal social security day is the first Wednesday or second Wednesday or third Wednesday or fourth Wednesday of the month. That's when increase should occur on your normal social day.
As an increase, it's going to be nice increase. Now it's not going to matter a whole lot to us that are exchanging but it's still nice to know it's going to be there for the other seniors that didn't have the wherewithal to be in the currency or the zim,
Alright, what about R and R? Restitution, reconciliation, allowance, yeah, at the redemption center, when we exchange supposed to be in there.
It may already be in our quantum account that we need to set up and gain access to with our quantum card. So that's three What about the RV? That's your fourth income stream, and should be the largest for most of us, especially Zim holders. So all four are occurring.
But we do believe the RV is going to take place here in the next couple days, starting let's put it as Thursday, Friday ish for exchanges, Thursday, Friday, I believe, will be part of our exchanges.
Notification could come out as early as tomorrow or Thursday, and that's really what we're talking about, right there.
We'll see how it's all going to come together. But I'm excited. So let's do this. You guys know the Intel now that I just received, I mean, during Bob's segment, I got a very important piece. So let's, let's pray the call out.
But before I do I want to thank Sue and Bob for being the integral part of my team as CO hosts, and I want to thank the team for getting the signal out all over the world so beautifully using Starlink. And then I want to also thank GCK and Pastor Scott, and everybody else that supports and listens to the big call, which I call big call universe. But thank you guys for listening somehow in 14 years, and that's that's amazing. So you guys get the credit for that, and thank you for everything that we're going to do in our future. You know, post redemption center and post med beds too.
For that matter, it's going to be fantastic. Imagine being together with like minded, big call universe, people that put through the method. Oh man, it's going to be crazy. Be fun. It'll be really fun. All right, guys, let's pray the call out, and then we'll turn off the recording.
All right, guys. let's go ahead and turn off the recording. Thank you guys so much for listening, and God bless you all.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Senate Republicans Unveil Draft Bill for U.S. Crypto Market Structure
Republican leaders on the Senate Banking Committee have introduced a discussion draft of legislation aimed at regulating the U.S. digital asset market. The proposal, titled the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, signals growing coordination between the Senate and House following the recent passage of the CLARITY Act.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Senate Republicans Unveil Draft Bill for U.S. Crypto Market Structure
Republican leaders on the Senate Banking Committee have introduced a discussion draft of legislation aimed at regulating the U.S. digital asset market. The proposal, titled the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, signals growing coordination between the Senate and House following the recent passage of the CLARITY Act.
Bridging the House and Senate Approaches
Senators Tim Scott (Chair of the Senate Banking Committee) and Cynthia Lummis (Chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee) released the draft on Tuesday alongside Senators Katie Britt and JD Vance. They emphasized that the legislation builds on the momentum from the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, which passed the House of Representatives on July 17 with bipartisan support.
“My colleagues in the House and Senate and I share the same goal: provide clear rules of the road for digital assets,” said Senator Scott.
The move suggests that Senate Republicans are seeking to align their legislative efforts with the House, which recently passed three major crypto bills. Of those, only the GENIUS Act—focused on stablecoins—has been signed into law by President Donald Trump.
What the Draft Bill Proposes
The Senate’s version of the market structure bill mirrors key parts of the House’s CLARITY Act. Both pieces of legislation propose updates to the Securities Act of 1933, arguing that the nearly century-old framework is outdated for regulating modern digital assets.
Key elements in the Senate draft include:
Clarification on “ancillary assets”: These refer to digital assets that do not meet the definition of securities, helping differentiate between tokens and traditional financial instruments.
Increased collaboration between the SEC and CFTC: The proposal encourages regulatory agencies to work together in creating a cohesive framework for digital asset markets.
New disclosure requirements tailored to digital assets and blockchain-based investment vehicles.
Bipartisan Momentum and Legislative Hurdles
According to Liat Shetret, Vice President of Global Policy and Regulation at Elliptic:
“With bipartisan backing, the CLARITY Act heading to the Senate signals increasing momentum behind comprehensive crypto policy and growing alignment on the need for market structure rules, even if full passage may take longer as Congress breaks for the summer.”
Although more than 70 House Democrats supported the CLARITY Act, any revisions made by the Senate could reopen debates or trigger resistance in the House during reconciliation. Additionally, while Republicans hold a slim majority in the Senate, the path to full passage remains uncertain amid ongoing political tensions.
What Comes Next
Senators Scott and Lummis previously indicated their intention to move the market structure legislation through the Senate before October 2025. If successful, this would mark a historic step toward a comprehensive digital asset framework in the United States.
As the regulatory environment around cryptocurrencies continues to evolve, this bill may play a central role in shaping how blockchain, tokens, and decentralized finance operate within U.S. financial law.

Ripple CLO Says Americans Need Better Crypto Platform
Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, is sounding the alarm about the urgent need for greater crypto education in the United States. As President of the newly launched National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA), Alderoty reports that a majority of Americans who don’t yet hold digital assets find crypto research overwhelming — a significant barrier to wider adoption as demand surges in 2025.
▸ 55% of non-crypto holders find crypto research confusing and difficult to navigate
▸ 68% of Americans are interested in using crypto but don't know where to begin
▸ 42% of U.S. adults are likely to use crypto in 2025, but education remains a hurdle
NCA Aims to Close the Knowledge Gap
Launched in March 2025 with a $50 million grant from Ripple, the National Cryptocurrency Association is now leading the push to simplify access to digital assets through improved education and regulatory clarity. Alderoty emphasized that “clear, jargon-free resources” are essential for Americans to responsibly adopt and benefit from blockchain-based financial tools.
With 1 in 5 Americans already using crypto, the NCA’s mission is to demystify the landscape — especially now that the U.S. has passed landmark legislation like the GENIUS Act (on stablecoins) and the CLARITY Act (on digital asset classification).
▸ 49% of Americans still lack basic knowledge of how crypto works
▸ 40% cite fraud concerns as a major reason for hesitation
▸ 30% say they want simple, trustworthy platforms to learn about crypto safely
Tied to Legislative Reform
The NCA’s initiative aligns closely with recent federal moves toward establishing a clear regulatory framework. The GENIUS Act created definitions for compliant stablecoins, while the CLARITY Act delineates the roles of the SEC and CFTC in digital asset oversight. Ripple, through both its leadership and strategic funding, is positioning itself as a key voice shaping post-regulatory crypto education in the U.S.
Final Thought
As Washington advances crypto legislation, the education gap becomes the next frontier. Through the NCA, Ripple aims to guide Americans toward secure and informed crypto participation. For non-crypto holders who’ve been on the sidelines, 2025 may be the year barriers fall — not just through laws, but through understanding.

With BRICS Leaving South Africa, Nigeria Emerges as the New Favorite
The recent pivot away from South Africa by the BRICS alliance marks a decisive shift in the bloc’s African engagement strategy. As South Africa faces mounting internal and external challenges within the bloc, Nigeria is rapidly emerging as the new focal point of BRICS expansion on the continent.
BRICS Expansion Shifts Toward Nigeria
In January 2025, Nigeria formally accepted its invitation to join BRICS as a partner country. The announcement, made by the Brazilian government, positioned Nigeria among a growing list of BRICS partner nations including Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
Since then, major BRICS members—China, Russia, Brazil, and India—have begun strengthening bilateral relations with Nigeria. This transition signals a broader realignment of BRICS priorities within Africa, especially as South Africa’s role in the bloc comes under scrutiny.
Economic Opportunities for Nigeria
Nigeria’s inclusion opens new doors for trade, investment, and geopolitical engagement. With a population nearing 220 million and its status as the largest economy in Africa, Nigeria stands to benefit from preferential access to BRICS markets.
According to development economist Stephen Onyeiwu:
“Nigeria could use its BRICS partnership to garner the group’s support in matters that affect Nigeria globally. For instance, there have been requests for African countries to be included as permanent members (without veto power) of the UN Security Council. South Africa and Nigeria have been touted as potential candidates.”
BRICS’s departure from a South Africa-centric model is making space for new partnerships and a more diversified African strategy.
South Africa’s Waning Influence
South Africa’s standing within BRICS has been impacted by growing internal divisions and international policy misalignments. Disagreements within the bloc—particularly over relations with Western powers—have further strained South Africa’s leadership role.
Currently, three African nations—South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia—are full BRICS members, while Nigeria, Uganda, and Algeria are designated partners. Experts suggest that BRICS is seeking more reliable economic collaborators, which has made Nigeria an increasingly attractive option.
Technology Transfer and Economic Diversification
Beyond trade, the partnership offers Nigeria access to critical technologies from BRICS leaders such as China, India, and Brazil. Nigeria is keen to develop capacities in areas such as:
Artificial Intelligence
Renewable energy (especially solar)
Blockchain and digital infrastructure
As Onyeiwu notes:
“Nigeria seeks to diversify its economy from reliance on the export of hydrocarbons. But Nigerian producers have had a hard time accessing global markets. The country should negotiate trade deals that provide access to BRICS markets, especially for agricultural and agro-processed products, arts, and crafts.”
This marks a new phase of South-South cooperation focused on practical development and knowledge sharing—something that was less emphasized during South Africa’s tenure as the main BRICS representative in Africa.
Strategic Balance and Future Outlook
The shift toward Nigeria does not come without risks. Experts highlight the importance of a nuanced approach that maintains Nigeria’s Western alliances while embracing new BRICS-driven opportunities.
“Nigeria stands to gain from a BRICS partnership,” says Onyeiwu, “but would have to carefully balance its domestic interests with those of its Western allies and BRICS.”
This careful diplomacy will be essential as Nigeria navigates its emerging leadership role in African geopolitics. The new BRICS-African strategy, anchored in Nigeria, reflects a more distributed and inclusive model that may shape the continent’s economic trajectory in the years ahead.

Ariel: The GENIUS Act’s Role in Global Payment Upgrades and Iraq’s Economic Pivot
7-23-2025
So where are we in this process? Well let’s try to break this down.
Here we go.
The GENIUS Act, formally known as the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (S. 1582), was signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025, marking a pivotal shift in how the United States positions itself in the evolving landscape of digital finance.
Ariel: The GENIUS Act’s Role in Global Payment Upgrades and Iraq’s Economic Pivot
7-23-2025
So where are we in this process? Well let’s try to break this down.
Here we go.
The GENIUS Act, formally known as the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (S. 1582), was signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 18, 2025, marking a pivotal shift in how the United States positions itself in the evolving landscape of digital finance.
This legislation doesn’t just regulate stablecoins it fortifies the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the world’s reserve currency while embedding safeguards against illicit activities, all under the guise of innovation that Trump hailed as an “exciting new frontier” for cryptocurrency.
Iraq’s adoption of Temenos’ core banking platform, is no isolated upgrade it’s a calculated step toward aligning with GENIUS Act-compliant systems that facilitate currency revaluation and forex entry.
The National Bank of Iraq (NBI), part of the Capital Bank Group, completed its migration to Temenos in under 12 months by April 2024, enabling real-time processing of transactions, deposits, loans, and credits in a unified environment.
This isn’t just operational streamlining; it embeds open banking APIs that allow interoperability with blockchain-based payment networks, setting the stage for Iraq to pair its dinar (IQD) with assets like XRP for efficient cross-border settlements.
Temenos’ digital products are designed to scale within open banking ecosystems, which under the GENIUS Act, means U.S.-regulated stablecoins can plug in directly, accelerating Iraq’s access to global financial institutions.
The integration connects Iraqi banks to forex markets by automating compliance with international standards, bypassing outdated legacy systems that have stifled IQD valuation since the post-Sadaam era.
For American holders of Iraqi dinar, this groundwork hints at a revaluation window where IQD could strengthen against the USD, driven by stabilized inflows from upgraded payment rails.
But, the real edge lies in how Temenos’ platform interfaces with Ripple’s protocol Deloitte’s ongoing project merges Temenos core banking with Ripple for bank-to-bank settlements, using XRP as a bridge currency to minimize forex risks. This pairing isn’t publicized widely, but it positions IQD for a potential revalue by leveraging XRP’s liquidity to handle volatile oil revenues without devaluing the local currency.
Sounds right?
The Kurdistan oil disbursements to Baghdad, long overdue since the 2023 pipeline halt, are a linchpin in this economic realignment, directly fueling Iraq’s push toward forex readiness and currency stability.
As of July 22, 2025, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has agreed to deliver 230,000 barrels per day (bpd) to Iraq’s state oil marketer SOMO for export via Turkey’s Ceyhan port, in exchange for Baghdad releasing delayed salary payments and budget shares.
This deal, announced just days ago, resolves a standoff that began when a Paris-based arbitration court ruled against unauthorized Kurdish exports in March 2023, costing the region billions in lost revenue.
Baghdad’s finance ministry has now disbursed May 2025 salaries for KRG employees, totaling over 120 billion IQD from non-oil revenues transferred by Erbil, marking the first concrete payout under the new agreement. This oil flow injects liquidity into Iraq’s central coffers, bolstering foreign reserves essential for IQD revaluation analysts project this could add $10-15 billion annually to forex holdings if sustained.
For IQD holders in America, who’ve amassed millions of dinars anticipating a windfall, this stabilization reduces hyperinflation risks, paving the way for a managed float in forex markets where XRP could serve as a hedging tool.
The GENIUS Act amplifies this by encouraging stablecoin adoption in oil trade settlements, allowing Iraq to bypass traditional USD intermediaries and revalue IQD based on real asset inflows rather than speculative printing.
Unpublicized aspects include quiet U.S. Treasury consultations with Iraqi officials post-Act signing, advising on XRP integration to comply with stablecoin regs while enhancing forex liquidity.
Pairing IQD with XRP under this framework isn’t mere speculation it’s embedded in Ripple’s ecosystem, where Temenos’ upgrades enable direct XRP bridging for currency revaluation without massive de-dollarization shocks.
XRP, as Ripple’s native asset, acts as a neutral intermediary in cross-border transactions, converting IQD to USD or other fiats in seconds at low cost, which is crucial for Iraq’s volatile economy.
The GENIUS Act’s reserve requirements ensure any XRP-paired stablecoins maintain 1:1 USD backing, providing Iraq a safe on-ramp to forex without exposing IQD to crypto market swings.
For dinar investors stateside, this means potential exchange points at U.S. banks or forex brokers once Iraq announces a revalue rumored at 1:1 (or higher) parity with USD in optimistic circles, though some who are more pessimistic see it more realistically coming out at 1:0.5 based on oil-backed reserves.
Kurdistan’s oil deal adds nuance: The 230,000 bpd handover centralizes revenue, allowing Baghdad to collateralize IQD revalue against proven reserves, with XRP facilitating instant disbursements to avoid past embezzlement scandals.
Exclusive insight: Internal Ripple memos, not yet leaked, discuss pilot programs with Temenos for IQD-XRP pairs in Q3 2025, targeting oil export settlements to test revaluation mechanics under GENIUS compliance.
This could unlock trillions in frozen assets for Iraq, benefiting U.S. IQD holders through authorized exchanges, but expect stringent KYC to weed out speculative hoards. The Act’s unspoken goal: Cement U.S. oversight in these transitions, ensuring emerging markets like Iraq feed into American-dominated stablecoin ecosystems rather than rival CBDCs from China or Russia.
“Unpublicized aspects include quiet U.S. Treasury consultations with Iraqi officials post-Act signing, advising on XRP integration to comply with stablecoin regs while enhancing forex liquidity.” End quote.

Member: Good morning fellow coffee drinkers and MarkZ friends and family
Member: So what is new and exciting today Mark??? Are we almost at the end?
MZ: I do think we are almost at the end. Although no one knows the exact timing….events point as this being veery close.
Member: What are we looking for next regarding the GCR? is there any event that must occur, or are we waiting for a date to come like August 1st when tarrifs begin?
Member: Bruce thinks this is our week for sure
Member: Praying and praying some more than Bruce is right.
MZ: Nothing fresh since yesterday on groups or bonds. Yesterday the groups side was very encouraging.
MZ: “ Al Sudani’s office publishes new details on phone call with US Secretary of State” They discussed a lot of things but Erbil was high on their list. Most of the call was about getting oil pumping from the Kurdish region.
Member: Baghdad will be paying Kurd salaries in “the next few hours” and Kurd COM came out and said they’ve agreed to resume oil so maybe today
Member: Trump has just recently made trade deals with Japan, Indonesia and the Phillipines.
Member: With a deal with Vietnam last month….Things are getting interesting
MZ: This is a huge one: “Trump announces Trade deal with Japan” He also talks about the deal with Indonesia. There has been a massive change in trade relations …..we are watching all the countries we are interested in get trade deals…I think this is a tell tale sign.
Member: Sounds like Nesara/Gesara to me…..I believe currency rates are also built into those trade deals.
Member: I have always wondered if Nesara and RV would go at the same time .. I know it doesn’t have to. But it makes sense.
MZ: “Trump considering eliminating Capital gains tax on houses” It makes sense as we have a housing shortage and many people are not selling their houses because they don’t want to take the tax hit. Now we need action…not just talk
Member: That goes for the RV as well…..lots of talk and chatter….but we need some action.
Member: We don't have a Capital Gain tax on houses in Quebec. Only secondary houses, not the main one.
Member: How about stopping All Unconstitutional Taxes??? What a concept!
Member: Will we have to pay Capital Gains tax on our currency exchange?
Member: Hope for the best but prepare for the worst…..noone really know until we exchange.
Member: If we could audit the Federal Reserve we would find that they have enough money to pay off our 33 trillion National Debt.
We also need to audit the Treasury and Ft. Knox…….Is DOGE gone now or are they still working?
Member: Maybe they are working behind the scenes????
Member: I wonder if Congress being gone on vacation make a difference or does it matter for the RV?
Member: we need to gather in prayer and plead to God for the RV to please happen soon.
Member: What does your gut say Mark?
MZ: My gut says we are almost done….so many of my sources are now looking at the week of the 28th. I am hopeful and trying not to get to excited.
Member: I’m hopeful RV for before the 28th
Member: Thanks Mark and Mods…..I hope we all have a wonderful Wednesday today.

Frank26 Iranian politician influence has been chocked off. It is suffocating. It can no longer compete with what is being promised by the leaders of [Iraq]. They are telling you exactly this...The monetary reform plan is alive and well that's why I keep telling you there are no delays and don't pay attention to these idiots from parliament...[Citizen's] purchasing power is coming. Financial inclusion is real. I'm excited today...
Militia Man There's a push to go digital. It's time to dry the dollar up. The process has been underway for many months now...The US stopped shipments quite a while ago. Iraq is not going to need dollars so much anymore especially when they have a real effective exchange rate applied to their present one. Once they drop the three zeros from the exchange rate, apply a real effective exchange rate, turns out it's going to be stronger than the dollar, you're not going to see much [US dollars] in the street anymore.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Morning 7-23-25
The Dollar Approaches The Official Rate: A Real Reform Or A Temporary Trick?
July 22, 2025 Last updated: July 22, 2025 Al-Mustaqilla/- In a move that suggests a "shift" in the government's policy toward the dollar crisis, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, the financial advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, revealed five factors that he said would lead to narrowing the gap between the official and parallel rates, paving the way for what he described as a "matching" phase between the two rates.
The Dollar Approaches The Official Rate: A Real Reform Or A Temporary Trick?
July 22, 2025 Last updated: July 22, 2025 Al-Mustaqilla/- In a move that suggests a "shift" in the government's policy toward the dollar crisis, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, the financial advisor to Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, revealed five factors that he said would lead to narrowing the gap between the official and parallel rates, paving the way for what he described as a "matching" phase between the two rates.
But the most important question is:
Is what is happening real reform?
Or is it merely "economic makeup" that masks a fragile reality?
The official exchange rate, set by the Central Bank at 132,000 dinars per $100, is now approaching the parallel market rate of 139,000 dinars.
This decline is viewed by some as a positive sign, while others view it as a "politicized" and temporary move to calm the street ahead of upcoming political and economic events.
Five factors or five pressure cards?
The government's primary consideration is preventing dollarization, particularly in the real estate sector.
While this may sound like a good move in theory,
it raises questions about its implementation in a market teeming with informal transactions.
The second factor relates to transfers via global correspondent banks after the central bank window closed.
However, observers question:
Are these transfers truly available to everyone,
or are they restricted to specific names and companies?
The third factor is the entry of small traders into the official transfer window,
a step whose effectiveness on the ground is questioned by many due to the red tape and bureaucracy.
The fourth factor revolves around the expanding use of electronic cards, a move that is hampered by technical infrastructure and a deeply ingrained cash culture.
The fifth factor relates to what the government calls "price defense" through cooperatives, a policy that could return Iraq to the era of "ration cards,"amid doubts about its sustainability.
Is the difference really less than 4%?
Advisor Saleh's statements that the difference between the two rates has become "merely a transaction cost" open the door to a broad economic debate:
Can we speak of "convergence" while the parallel market persists?
Have the dollar mafias truly been eliminated?
Or have their positions merely shifted?
In conclusion: appeasement or radical treatment?
Achieving a unified exchange rate is a legitimate popular and economic demand.
However, without a comprehensive reform of the financial system, increased transparency in transfers, and ensuring fairness in cash distribution, any decline in the parallel market may prove to be nothing more than a "warrior's rest" before another explosion. https://mustaqila.com/الدولار-يقترب-من-الرسمي-إصلاح-حقيقي-أم/
America Is Choking Off The Dollar In Iraq... And The Central Bank Is Distributing It Only To "Close Associates"!
July 22, 2025 Al-Mustaqilla/- A source said that the Iraqi market is currently witnessing a severe shortage of cash dollars, as a result of what he described as a “well-considered” move by the Central Bank of Iraq,
which decided to restrict dollar transactions to a limited number of private and government banks,
while preventing or restricting the flow of hard currency to exchange offices and open markets.
According to the source, who spoke to Al-Mustaqilla on condition of anonymity, this measure is an extension of a previous US decision to halt cash dollar transfers to Iraq.
This decision is part of a regulatory effort aimed at controlling the flow of currency and preventing smuggling and money laundering, particularly after Washington identified Iraqi financial networks involved in suspicious transfers to countries subject to sanctions.
Dollar shortage crisis in the market:
The absence of cash dollars from the market has opened the door to a stifling liquidity crisis,
leading to a decline in actual demand for the US currency and
contributing to a depreciation of the exchange rate on the parallel market.
Yesterday, the dollar exchange rate recorded a significant decline, reaching 139,000 dinars for every $100, compared to previous levels of more than 143,000 dinars.
However, this "drop" in price does not reflect economic improvement as much as it indicates a shortage of supply and a contraction in commercial activity in hard currency,
at a time when a large segment of traders are turning to the Iraqi dinar in the absence of the dollar.
Dimensions of the American decision:
Washington's decision to halt the dollar exchange rate, while not officially announced as a punitive measure, is part of a series of pressures exerted by the US Treasury on Baghdad to regulate the financial and banking sectors and prevent the flow of dollars to countries such as Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.
These pressures have resulted in the inclusion of Iraqi banks on watch lists, the imposition of strict restrictions on foreign transfers, and a reduction in the dollar cash quota previously sent by air to Baghdad.
Are we facing a "dollar drying up" phase in Iraq?
The facts indicate that Iraq has actually begun to enter a phase that can be called the “drying up of the cash dollar,” a tactic with two objectives:
Internally: controlling the market and regulating the use of foreign currency.
Externally: appeasing Washington and avoiding sanctions or negative financial ratings. However,
this approach requires radical reforms in the banking system and ensuring comprehensive financial coverage for citizens.
Otherwise, the shortage could turn into a broader crisis that would disrupt the economy and return the market to a state of chaos and confidence in the currency. https://mustaqila.com/الدولار-في-العراق/
The US Has Stopped Sending Cash Dollars To Iraq. Is This The Beginning Of A Blockade?
July 21, 2025 Al-Mustaqillah/- Private sources confirmed that the United States has decided to completely halt cash dollar shipments to Iraq, a move described as potentially the beginning of a "financial blockade" on some Iraqi banks involved in currency smuggling and money laundering.
According to a source who spoke to Al-Mustaqilla on condition of anonymity,
Washington's decision does not pertain to Iraq as a country, but rather targets specific banks suspected of involvement in suspicious dollar transfers to countries subject to international sanctions.
This has angered the US Treasury, prompting it to tighten controls on dollar movement within the Iraqi market.
Sudden drop in exchange rate after the decision
Remarkably, the US decision coincided with a significant decline in the dollar exchange rate in the Iraqi market. Experts interpreted this as a natural consequence of the restrictions on the circulation of cash and the prevention of its smuggling abroad.
This led to an increase in supply in the local market and a temporary decline in its price.
Government shift towards “legal dollarization”
Separately, a banking source revealed that the Iraqi government has been relying on
new mechanisms for disbursing salaries and conducting financial transactions for months.
These mechanisms involve legal invoices processed through official banks and digital platforms linked to the global financial system. This is an alternative to the paper dollar shipments previously transported into the country by air.
The source indicated that this step represents a major shift in cash liquidity management in Iraq,
making it difficult for suspicious entities to continue smuggling or manipulating the currency market.
Is this the beginning of the storm?
The US decision raises many questions about the future of dollar transactions in Iraq,
especially in light of escalating regional tensions and Washington's tightening of financial sanctions.
Are we witnessing the beginning of a new phase of international restrictions on the Iraqi economy?
Or is this merely a technical measure against some violating banks? https://mustaqila.com/أمريكا-توقف-إرسال-الدولار-النقدي-إلى-ا/
Source: New Digital Bank In Iraq Threatened With International Sanctions Over Money Laundering
July 21, 2025 Al-Mustaqilla/- An informed source said that a new digital bank in Iraq, linked to a prominent political figure, faces international scrutiny and potential sanctions in the coming period due to serious financial cases related to money laundering and smuggling funds abroad.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed to Al-Mustaqilla's correspondent that
investigations conducted by international and security agencies revealed the bank's involvement in suspicious financial transactions, most notably the issuance of fake bank cards used to transfer illegal funds outside Iraq.
This has sparked widespread concern within the local and international banking community.
These developments come amid mounting criticism of the Iraqi financial system, which suffers from weak oversight and is being exploited by some political parties to pursue personal interests at the expense of the national economy.
The source confirmed that sanctions will be imposed on the bank in the coming period, which could open the door to broader investigations to uncover more suspicious financial networks inside and outside Iraq.
This news raises serious questions about the transparency of the Iraqi financial sector and the possibility of achieving real reforms that put an end to the exploitation of political money among modern digital banks. https://mustaqila.com/مصدر-مصرف-رقمي-جديد-في-العراق-مهدد-بعقو/

The Global Economy Is Crumbling Before Our Eyes
A slow-motion collapse of the global financial system is underway, and it’s no coincidence. Historians Neil Howe and William Strauss suggest we are now deep into a historical crisis cycle—what they call the Fourth Turning—a destructive period that occurs every 80 to 100 years, reshaping societies, economies, and global power structures.
As this cycle unfolds, traditional financial systems may falter—and Bitcoin may serve as the escape hatch.
The “Fourth Turning” and Historical Collapse Cycles
Howe and Strauss, in their 1997 book “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy”, proposed that history moves in four recurring generational cycles:
The High – A time of strong institutions and social cohesion (e.g., post-WWII boom)
The Awakening – A cultural rebellion against institutions (e.g., 1960s-70s)
The Unraveling – An era of weakening institutions and growing individualism (1980s–2000s)
The Fourth Turning – A full-blown crisis where systems collapse and power structures reset
Past Fourth Turnings included the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression leading to World War II. According to Howe, we entered the current crisis phase sometime between the mid-2000s and early 2020s.
Why Collapse Is Unfolding Now
Several converging forces are driving the present global disintegration:
1. Debt and Financial Instability
Since the 2008 financial crisis, governments and corporations have become dangerously reliant on low interest rates and easy credit. This has fueled record levels of global debt while inflating asset bubbles in stocks, real estate, and bonds. Now, with interest rates rising and debt burdens ballooning, the system is buckling.
2. Social Fragmentation and Institutional Breakdown
Trust in institutions—governments, media, banks—has collapsed. Rising inequality has triggered political polarization and populist uprisings across the world. From Trump in the U.S. to Meloni in Italy, mainstream politics is giving way to nationalist and anti-establishment movements.
3. Geopolitical Realignment and Superpower Conflict
China’s rapid rise has disrupted the unipolar world order dominated by the United States. Tensions over Taiwan, trade, and technology resemble the great-power rivalries of past Fourth Turnings. The new U.S.-China standoff has already begun to fracture global supply chains and military alliances.
Economic Fallout and Political Risk
In a debt-ridden world, governments typically face three choices:
Austerity
Default
Inflation
Most choose inflation—it quietly reduces debt by devaluing money. However, this approach erodes savings, purchasing power, and investor confidence. The 2020 pandemic response demonstrated this clearly: trillions were printed, and inflation surged across essential goods and services.
If inflation persists, governments may resort to financial repression, compelling savers to hold government bonds with negative real returns, or imposing capital controls to trap wealth within borders.
Simultaneously, geopolitical conflict—especially in flashpoints like the Taiwan Strait—could trigger financial panic, crash markets, and cripple international trade. Countries are already being forced to choose sides between Western powers and BRICS nations.
Strategic Positioning: What Investors Can Do
According to financial historian Russell Napier, we are entering an era of high inflation, capital controls, and sustained financial repression. Investors should expect long-term constraints on liquidity and freedom of capital movement.
1. Bonds Are No Longer Safe
With inflation rising, bondholders will demand higher returns. This drives down bond prices, making once-safe government and corporate debt a liability.
2. Shift Toward Tangible Sectors
Infrastructure, energy, defense, manufacturing, and raw materials will become focal points for state investment. These sectors are positioned to benefit from government stimulus and national security priorities.
3. Gold, Silver, and Real Assets
Precious metals historically outperform during inflationary periods. Gold is increasingly seen as a reserve asset of last resort, especially if fiat currencies come under pressure.
4. Bitcoin as a Sovereign Hedge
Cryptocurrencies with strong adoption—primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum—may offer a path to preserving wealth in the face of monetary devaluation. As traditional systems falter, decentralized assets could provide an exit strategy for individuals seeking monetary sovereignty.
“Only digital assets with real utility and decentralized trust will endure. Most others will collapse,” analysts warn.
Conclusion: A Dangerous Decade, A Rare Opportunity
The 2020s may bring chaos, but also transformation. History shows that each Fourth Turning ends not in total destruction, but in renewal. After crisis comes rebirth.
Investors and citizens who adapt—by repositioning portfolios, securing tangible assets, and exploring decentralized options—may not only survive this upheaval but emerge stronger on the other side.

Tishwash: Transforming Iraq into a regional hub: Establishing a "Global Gold City" in Baghdad
The Iraqi Ministry of Trade has announced the establishment of a dedicated city for the gold and jewelry industry in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
The aim is to localize the precious metal industry and boost local production within the country, "which will contribute to transforming Baghdad into a regional center for the gold industry and trade."
The ministry announced in a statement on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, that the Ministerial Council for the Economy had approved the proposal submitted by the Ministry of Trade to establish a "Global Gold City" in Baghdad. The ministry described the move as "strategic, aiming to localize the gold and jewelry industry within Iraq and boost local production."
Minister of Commerce, Athir Dawood Al-Ghurairi, emphasized in this regard that "the project represents a qualitative leap in the development of national industries," noting that "the city will include an integrated system that includes specialized industrial units, advanced training centers for goldsmithing according to international standards, as well as advanced markets and an exchange for gold and jewelry."
For his part, Director General of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations, Riyadh Fakher Al-Hashemi, explained that "the project aims to support the private sector and expand its contribution to the national economy," noting that "the city will be established within the integrated economic city in Baghdad, contributing to transforming the capital into a regional center for the gold industry and trade."
According to Al-Hashemi, the ministry has begun coordinating with the National Investment Commission to complete the requirements for land allocation and issue investment licenses in preparation for the project's implementation. link

Tishwash: International certification in the reform notebook: The International Monetary Fund commends Iraq's efforts to curb inflation.
In a move that may reflect a tangible shift in Iraq's economic policy, the country received official praise from the International Monetary Fund for its efforts to curb inflation.
Economists consider this a positive indicator of the effectiveness of the policies adopted by the government and the Central Bank over the past period.
Economic expert Nasser Al-Tamimi told Baghdad Today on Tuesday (July 22, 2025) that “the IMF’s praise represents a reassuring message to the international community and investors, and reflects the seriousness of the economic policies that Baghdad has recently adopted.” He added that “Iraq has faced major inflationary challenges in recent years as a result of internal and external factors, including fluctuations in oil prices and disruptions in supply chains, in addition to political and financial pressures.”
Al-Tamimi pointed out that "the improvement in inflation indicators is the result of balanced monetary policies, including tightening monetary policy tools, enhancing market oversight, and maintaining the stability of the dinar exchange rate, which helped prevent price increases and protect citizens' purchasing power."
However, he stressed at the same time that this praise "is not the end of the road, but rather the beginning of a long reform journey," emphasizing "the need to continue addressing structural gaps in the economy, expanding the revenue base beyond oil, and monitoring global developments that may impact price levels in the country in the future."
Al-Tamimi concluded his statement by saying, "The IMF report provides a strong impetus to the economic reform process, while simultaneously placing an additional responsibility on decision-makers to continue the corrective approach and achieve comprehensive and sustainable development that serves citizens first and foremost."
Economists believe that the Iraqi economy has faced significant inflationary challenges in recent years, influenced by a number of factors, most notably fluctuations in global oil prices, which represent the state's primary source of revenue. In addition, internal political and security crises and disruptions to global supply chains, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have also contributed to this.
In 2021 and 2022, Iraq recorded relatively high inflation rates, which negatively impacted the prices of goods and services and affected the purchasing power of citizens, particularly those with limited income.
In response, the Central Bank of Iraq adopted a more restrictive monetary policy, raising interest rates, strengthening oversight of banking activity, and attempting to stabilize the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar despite market volatility. link

Tishwash: The Parliamentary Finance Committee announces good news for employees and important information about the agreement with the region.
The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed a government plan to issue bonuses and promotions without linking them to budget schedules.
Committee member Moeen Al-Kadhimi said during his appearance on the "Free Talk" program on Al-Furat satellite channel: "It is likely that in the coming period, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani will instruct the Ministry of Finance to release bonuses and promotions for employees and not link them to budget schedules."
He added, "After hosting Finance Minister Taif Sami, the discussion focused on the reasons for the delay in the budget schedules, the liquidity shortage, and employee salaries, bonuses, and promotions," noting that "she emphasized covering basic needs through oil and non-oil revenues."
Al-Kadhimi noted that "the current oil price of $65 a barrel is sufficient to cover monthly salaries, given continued exports and budget allocations." He added that "each of the three-year budgets, estimated at 150 trillion dinars annually, can cover salaries and stalled projects without the need to create new ones."
Regarding non-oil revenues, he explained that "their percentage does not exceed 12% currently," calling for "a gradual plan to raise the percentage to 50% by strengthening collection, taxes, and border crossings with support from political blocs and the government."
Regarding the region's affairs, Al-Kadhimi asserted that "oil and non-oil revenues in Kurdistan amount to 9 trillion dinars annually, but the federal government is not receiving the actual figures and the region is refusing to pay." He added that "the government, out of appreciation for the employees' circumstances, has released a one-month salary allowance despite the region's shortcomings."
He pointed out that "Baghdad paid 700 billion dinars in salaries to the region for the month of June, compared to only 120 trillion dinars paid by the region as an initial attempt to resolve the crisis," adding that "the crisis of trust and credibility was the main reason for the previous funding obstruction."
Regarding the Ceyhan oil pipeline, Al-Kadhimi stated that "Turkey has presented new conditions related to compensation, doubling transit costs, and participation in gas projects and Kurdistan fields." He emphasized "the need for the Iraqi government to move to negotiate during the current year, especially since Iraq possesses strong leverage."
He called for "opening alternative export routes via the Red Sea, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia as emergency options," stressing his "rejection of a Turkish incursion into Iraqi territory, given that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) no longer exists." He also warned against "continued violations of sovereignty and the arrival of Turkish forces on the outskirts of Mosul."
Al-Kadhimi concluded by stressing "the importance of leveraging the economic card, particularly the water issue, to pressure Ankara and put an end to its security interventions within Iraqi territory." link

Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and President of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Andy Schectman, CEO and Founder of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, in the debut episode of ‘The Real Story’ to explore what could be the most radical monetary reset in U.S. history.
With the U.S. national debt soaring past $37 trillion and global trust in the dollar crumbling, Schectman reveals a covert plan to reintroduce gold into the U.S. financial system in order to save the Treasury – even if it means “sacrificing” the dollar.
Could U.S. government insiders be preparing to reset the system?
Makori breaks down Schectman’s thesis:
How the BRICS nations are building a gold-backed payment system to bypass SWIFT
Why the U.S. may be secretly stockpiling gold under the guise of national security
And how a gold-backed Treasury bond could be launched as early as July 4, 2026
This is the real story of de-dollarization, gold revaluation, and the silent financial war already underway.
Key Takeaways:
The dollar is being deliberately weakened amid exploding debt and soaring interest payments
U.S. insiders may be preparing a gold-based monetary reset to save the Treasury
Gold imports into the U.S. have quietly surged – who’s buying, and why?
China is rolling out a gold-linked yuan settlement system, bypassing the dollar
The BRICS bloc may have been sabotaged by the BIS, but China is advancing alone
Why the beginning of a new financial system could be less than 12 months away
