Ariel: Big Moves are Being made Today

Big Moves Are Being Made Today:

• Sec Dropped The Ripple Case
• Kurdish Region Ready To Export Oil
• President Demands Fed To Lower Interest Rates Now

Iraq has 30% Tariffs on them.

What was one of the main things Donald Trump said must cease regarding countries with financial undercuts?

Currency Manipulation.

Do I think Iraq will come out with a hard rate change on August 1st?

Can not say emphatically. But one thing I can say with 100% certainty.

Is that by default of their fraudulent monetary practice is that they will have to start on Friday a official procedure to end the program rate and allow a market float to determine their currency value.

National Bank of Iraq and Temenos have partnered together to transition the Iraqi Banks from Legacy Systems to a Unified Core Banking and Payments Platform.

What does this mean?

Temenos digital products are adaptable and scalable that will allow them to work inside an Open Banking System. This new upgrade will allow Iraq to trade with Global Financial Institutions around the world.

Do you all understand the importance of what is being done for your financial freedom?

All the tools will be available for you all to make a stable future for yourselves and family. Take full advantage of this opportunity.

This will never happen again.

Thursday Coffee with MarkZ. 07/31/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning on this “August 1 eve”

Member: hope we are on the eve of the RV (announced by DJT tomorrow)?

Member: IMO -For Trump to say August 1 is a HUGE day for America, has to be something big because we’ve already been bringing in tariff income.

MZ: It might be another nothing burger…or it might be life changing…..we will see.

Member: Praying that good news arrives quickly - many are losing hope because the struggle to survive is overwhelming. Any RV news today Mark????

MZ: I do have a bond contact with a meeting tomorrow…..A couple more rumored to go today…but they are not my sources. I believe they are at the “tail end” which gives me a lot of positivity

Member: TNT is reporting the lower denoms are out and dinar rate is $5.41. Rumor?

MZ: Unfortunately I cannot verify that one,…my folks are saying it is not true..….but the rate would not surprise me. We have seen some older lower denominations in circulation…..but not the new ones yet.

Member: They need to audit the Fed, The Treasury and Ft. Knox….then reset.  

Member: They need to get rid of Powell, bring in Judy Shelton to shut the Federal Reserve down, just like McMahon is doing with Dept of Education

MZ: They are an out of control entity right now….Clearly Trump has a plan to rein them in.

Member: I believe its all coming together…just not as quickly as we would like

MZ: I agree…..I really wanted it to happen way faster.

MZ: “Turkish minister : We have sent Iraq a draft of the new agreement on the oil pipeline” Iraq has indicated they can double or triple their oil output right away. This could be enormously profitable for Iraq. Its all coming together is we pay attention to the tapestry the world is weaving.

MZ: “State-owned  bank announces the settlement of 87% of Iraq’s external debt file”  that external debt file was huge between the end of Saadam Hussein and the Kuwait invasion up through today. Settling 87% is a huge number or debt repaid. They are in a great position for their currency and country internationally.  

Member: Any new news on the dong ?

Member: I wonder if there is any chance that Vietnam goes tomorrow leading Iraq down that road based on their trade dependency?

Member: I wonder why the good guys have not allowed the RV take place already??

Member: Mark - My monthly PNC Checking Account Statement came yesterday and now says PNC Virtual Wallet Account.

Member: Chatter says Iran dropped zeros?

MZ: We talked about this last night and shared an article on it. The earliest they will start making decisions is this fall.

Member: I hope everyone has a great Thursday !!

Member: Thanks Mark for always being there for us even when news is quiet…..We appreciate you.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 7-31-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Erbil agrees to send 120 billion dinars to Baghdad and deliver July payrolls.

 An informed source revealed, today, Tuesday (July 29, 2025), that the Kurdistan Regional Government has agreed to send 120 billion dinars to Baghdad, during the regional council of ministers session scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday.

The source told Baghdad Today, "The Council of Ministers will approve sending the amount to the federal government early next week, along with providing a copy of the quantities of oil the region can currently export."

He added that "the regional government will also send its employees' payrolls for July to Baghdad," noting that "the federal government, for its part, will disburse June salaries at the end of next week, amounting to 974 billion dinars."  link

Tishwash:  Workshop on localizing the gold industry and strengthening craft workshops

 The Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control held a workshop at the agency's headquarters under the title "Localizing the Gold Industry and Strengthening Craft Workshops."

In his opening remarks at the workshop, the head of the Central Agency emphasized the role of the precious metals sector in strengthening the national economy, pointing to the need to enhance trust between local manufacturers and the public by ensuring the quality of jewelry and its freedom from commercial fraud. 

He also commended the agency's role in protecting citizens from unfair practices, stressing its commitment to supporting local industries in accordance with international quality standards and in line with Iraq's vision for achieving sustainable economic development.

For his part, Kazem Attia Al-Shammari, a member of the Parliamentary Committee for Economy and Trade, emphasized the importance of strengthening national industries, particularly in the fields of gold and handicrafts. He noted that this would help attract investment by providing a business environment subject to quality and transparency standards.

Ghassan Sakban Kazim, Director of the Qirat Foundation for Economic Development, presented a video explaining the work of specialized gold-making workshops, with a detailed explanation of the foundation's goals of supporting national industry and facilitating procedures between the public and private sectors. He also addressed ways to overcome obstacles facing industrialists to ensure their compliance with technical and legal standards.

The workshop included a discussion session chaired by the Director General of the Standardization Department, Mohammed Latif Ahmed, with the participation of the Assistant Director General, Mustafa Saad Khazal, and the Director of the Qirat Foundation. Numerous proposals and questions were raised and answered, taking into account the workshop's concluding recommendations.

The workshop was attended by Prime Minister's Advisor Hussein Allawi Al-Najm, a representative of the Organized Crime Directorate, a number of general managers, and a number of Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAP) staff and goldsmith workshop owners, reflecting both official and popular interest in developing this vital sector.  link

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

Tishwash:  A state-owned bank announces the settlement of 87% of Iraq's external debt.

Rafidain Bank announced on Wednesday that it had achieved "substantial" progress on its foreign debt portfolio, settling approximately 87% of total international obligations through high-level financial and legal negotiations, resulting in a significant reduction in the volume of foreign debt.

The bank said in a statement today, "In the context of Iraq's commitment to the Paris Club Agreement, and with the direct approval of the Council of Ministers, the bank concluded major negotiated settlements with Dutch and French creditor companies, the most prominent of which was: Cabinet Resolution No. (403) of 2025: Settlement of three lawsuits filed by Dutch companies with a concession rate in favor of the bank exceeding 90% of the value of those claims.

The statement explained that "the bank has achieved significant legal successes abroad, most notably winning lawsuits in Turkey and Lebanon, enabling it to recover more than $2.8 million, reflecting the competence of its legal apparatus and its ability to defend the state's rights before international courts."

The bank affirmed in its statement that it "continues its efforts to close the remaining issues through final settlements, which will strengthen Iraq's sovereign rating and consolidate international confidence in its financial stability and commitment to sound financial governance." link

***********

Tishwash:  The Iranian parliament approves removing four zeros from the currency.

MP Fathallah Tavasoli, a member of the Iranian parliament's economic committee, announced the committee's approval of a bill to remove four zeros from the national currency.

Tosoli explained that this project, submitted by the government, was approved after addressing the comments and in agreement with the governor of the Central Bank, the Ministry of Economy, and the relevant committee. 

The Economic Committee stated that this step aims to facilitate transactions, and that the project's details are currently being amended to comply with other laws.

In May, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Mohammad Reza Farzin, stated that removing four zeros from the national currency "represents a priority in the country's monetary reform plan for the current year 2025."

Removing zeros from a currency is a financial procedure in which the circulating currency is replaced by a new one with a reduced nominal value, with specific zeros removed from its denominations (for example, when six zeros are removed, every million units of the old currency become equivalent to one unit of the modified currency). 

This measure is usually taken to enhance financial credibility, restore monetary confidence, regulate exchange markets, and combat inflation.  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 7-31-25

Why Aren't Prices Falling? An Expert Reveals Traders' Concerns Despite The Dollar's Decline
 
Time: 2025/07/30 17:07:15 Reads: 570 Times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Abdul Rahman Al Mashhadani revealed that  stabilizing the dollar exchange rate in local markets requires at least six months for traders to begin reducing commodity prices, despite the current decline in the exchange rate.

Al-Mashhadani said in a statement to {Euphrates News} that:  "Traders are still not reassured by the current decline, which is causing them to maintain their prices." He explained that "the relationship between the decline in the exchange rate and commodity prices is directly proportional, while the increase is inverse."  He pointed out that "traders are obsessed with the current decline.
 
If the exchange rate increases, they will raise prices on the same day, and the increase will be higher than the previous price."  Al-Mashhadani emphasized that "despite the decline in the exchange rate,
traders continue to conduct business at a rate of 150 dinars per dollar due to their lack of confidence in the stability of the situation."   https://alforatnews.iq/news/لماذا-لا-تنخفض-الأسعار؟-خبير-يكشف-هاجس-التجار-رغم-هبوط-الدولار

The Cabinet Decides To Reduce Electronic Payment Fees And Commissions By 50%.
 
Economy 29-07-2025, 19:24 | 329 Baghdad Today – Baghdad  The Council of Ministers approved, on Tuesday (July 29, 2025), a package of decisions related to the amounts, commissions, and movements of government electronic collections and collections, in a step aimed at encouraging the transition to electronic financial transactions.
 
The Council of Ministers decided, according to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, received by Baghdad Today, to "reduce the cost of issuing electronic payment cards by 50%, with the price of a single card not exceeding 5,000 dinars.

" The statement noted that "this measure aims to make the cards accessible to a wider segment of users, which will contribute to increasing reliance on electronic payment in various daily transactions." 

The decisions also included, according to the statement, 
"reducing electronic payment fees to 0.005 percent for all transactions involving fuel stations.
 
This reduction comes while maintaining the current upper limit for deductions,
providing an additional incentive for consumers and fuel stations to use electronic payment methods."
 
In a related context, the Council of Ministers has mandated the Ministry of Oil to increase the use of electronic payment transactions to 50% in all transactions.
 
This mandate includes the private sector (constructed stations) achieving the aforementioned percentage within a maximum period of six months.
 
The Council also obligated electronic payment companies to comply with the above-mentioned paragraphs, starting January 1, 2026.      https://baghdadtoday.news/279767-50.html 

Key Card And Baha Abdul-Hussein On Washington's Sanctions List
 
July 31, 2025 Last updated: July 31, 2025   Al-Mustaqilla/- Informed sources told Al-Mustaqilla that  US authorities have begun formal steps to place the "Ki Card" company and its director, Bahaa Abdul Hussein, on the economic sanctions list,  accusing them of committing violations related to   corruption and   money laundering.
 
These measures are part of Washington's ongoing efforts to  combat financial corruption and
     enhance transparency in economic transactions,  particularly in regions where electronic payment companies and digital financial services are increasingly active.
 
K-Card, a leading provider of electronic payment services in Iraq,
is facing accusations of exploiting its market position to engage in dubious financial activities,
including     money laundering and   illegal transfers, according to the same sources.
 
These developments have raised widespread questions within Iraqi economic circles about the
     extent to which US sanctions will impact the country's electronic payments sector,
          an emerging and important sector supporting the digital economy.
 
For its part, Qi Card and its CEO have yet to issue any official statements in response to these accusations.
 
Markets and observers expect this US move to lead to tighter oversight of financial companies operating in Iraq, and possibly more stringent enforcement of anti-corruption and financial crime mechanisms.
 
It's worth noting that the United States uses economic sanctions as a tool of pressure against individuals and companies involved in illegal activities,  with the aim of  limiting their negative impact on the global economy and  promoting integrity in financial transactions. https://mustaqila.com/كي-كارد-وبهاء-عبد-الحسين-على-لائحة-عقوب/

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Thursday Morning 7-31-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Transatlantic Turbulence: Trump-EU Turnberry Agreement Reshapes Global Trade Balance

The United States and European Union have entered a historic — and highly controversial — trade pact that risks redefining global economic alignments. The Turnberry Agreement, signed on July 28, imposes sweeping tariffs on European exports while locking in a massive $750 billion fossil fuel purchase commitment from the EU. Beneath the diplomatic optics, the deal signals a deep strategic realignment with potentially lasting consequences for global trade, energy security, and industrial policy.

Key Sectors Targeted by New U.S. Tariffs

The agreement, driven by President Donald Trump’s renewed protectionist agenda, slaps a 15% tariff on a broad range of high-value European exports to the United States. This follows an earlier 27.5% hike on select categories in April, disproportionately impacting European economies such as Germany and France.

Strategic sectors affected include:

• Automobiles – German automakers face steep tariff headwinds.

• Luxury goods – French brands like LVMH and Kering are considering U.S.-based production pivots to mitigate exposure.

• Pharmaceuticals – Tariff exemptions for medicines are ending, threatening a sector that accounts for 22.5% of EU exports.

• Cosmetics and wines – These industries face new uncertainty, with over €8 billion in annual trade now exposed to higher costs.

Europe’s $750 Billion Energy Commitment: Strategic Dependence or Economic Leverage?

In exchange, the EU has committed to purchasing $750 billion in U.S. fossil fuels, particularly shale gas — a move that critics say deepens Europe’s strategic energy dependence and contradicts stated climate neutrality goals.

The European Commission’s ability to enforce this commitment remains questionable, especially amid diverging member state priorities. Nevertheless, the symbolic and financial weight of the deal indicates a forced alignment with U.S. geopolitical and economic interests.

Industrial Reorientation, Climate Contradictions, and Strategic Fallout

The agreement is expected to trigger major industrial reorientations across the EU, with companies considering relocation to the U.S. to maintain market access. This not only undermines Europe’s industrial sovereignty but also threatens its climate commitments, as increased fossil fuel imports conflict with the European Green Deal.

A Global Economy Rebalanced on Unequal Terms

The Turnberry Agreement underscores a new era of asymmetric trade negotiations, where traditional Western alliances are subordinated to America First–driven policies. Europe’s attempt to avoid confrontation with the U.S. may instead result in economic subjugation, as critics argue the deal surrenders too much leverage without meaningful reciprocity.

As tariff walls rise and energy dependencies deepen, the global trade system appears increasingly fractured — reinforcing the move toward a multipolar economic order where geopolitics, energy, and trade policy are no longer separable.

BRICS Accelerates Intra-Bloc Trade: India and Brazil Set $60B Target Amid U.S. Backlash

BRICS member states India and Brazil have jointly committed to tripling their bilateral trade flows, signaling a bold escalation of intra-BRICS economic cooperation amid rising geopolitical tensions. The move comes as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten tariffs against BRICS-aligned nations that pursue “anti-American” economic strategies.

Strategic Trade Expansion Between India and Brazil

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a series of agreements this month aimed at boosting food security, energy transition, and industrial collaboration. The deals cover a broad range of sectors including cotton, chicken, and essential food commodities, as both countries seek to reduce reliance on external powers and foster deeper South-South cooperation.

Lula stated unequivocally:

“Our $12 billion trade flow is not up to par with our economies. We are determined to accelerate this goal, tripling this amount in the short term.”

India’s Modi echoed this, asserting that a $60 billion trade target within five years is “not difficult to achieve,” given the growth potential and mutual economic alignment between the two emerging markets.

A Response to U.S. Pressure on BRICS Nations

The timing of the India-Brazil trade acceleration is significant. It follows recent threats from the Trump administration, which has warned of retaliatory tariffs on BRICS countries that pursue policies counter to U.S. interests. Trump’s comments have drawn rebukes from multiple BRICS leaders, including Lula, who criticized the U.S. president’s approach:

“I don’t think it’s very responsible and serious for a president of a country the size of the U.S. to threaten the world over the internet… We don’t want an emperor.”

This political backdrop underscores how BRICS trade initiatives are increasingly intertwined with broader multipolar realignment efforts, as member states seek autonomy from Western financial and trade systems.

Toward a $60 Billion Trade Corridor

Negotiations for the expanded trade framework are expected to begin in Q1 2026, with both nations committing to fast-track the process. Analysts view this as part of a wider BRICS strategy to establish strong internal trade corridors, increase resilience against sanctions, and enhance strategic food and energy security within the bloc.

As U.S. pressure mounts, BRICS’ internal partnerships — such as the India-Brazil trade pact — are becoming the foundation of a multipolar economic architecture, designed to shift global power away from the traditional transatlantic axis.

This qualitative step reflects the Iraqi government's commitment to empowering the banking sector, enhancing its role in supporting the national economy, and stimulating investment in priority projects.

This agreement aims to enable Iraqi banks to contribute to providing long-term credit facilities for national projects, through guarantees provided (in part) by the Iraqi government to foreign international financing institutions. This will help reduce financing risks and encourage the private sector and local and international investors to enter the Iraqi market with greater confidence.

Under the agreement, the National Bank of Iraq will play a pivotal role in facilitating financial relations for projects and assisting in obtaining financing through international financial institutions, in line with its strategic position and active role in supporting productive sectors, particularly industries that receive direct attention from the Iraqi government.

This agreement comes as part of the government's efforts to strengthen public-private partnerships and enable local banks to play a greater role in supporting the national economy, particularly in vital sectors such as industry, energy, and housing.

This agreement represents a pivotal milestone in the bank's journey and embodies its commitment to providing innovative and secure financing solutions that support economic development efforts in Iraq.

This partnership with the Ministry of Finance will open new horizons for the banking sector and enable the National Bank of Iraq to contribute more effectively to financing vital projects Iraq needs.

This step is in line with the Iraqi government's financial and administrative reform plan, which aims to diversify sources of income, boost non-oil revenues, and enable the banking sector to play a greater role in supporting sustainable development and achieving the national economic vision.

The National Bank of Iraq affirms its commitment to continuing to work with relevant government agencies to implement innovative financing programs that contribute to enabling major national projects, particularly in the fields of industry, energy, and infrastructure.

The bank also seeks to expand its regional and international partnerships to provide financing tools that align with development requirements and support the government's efforts to achieve comprehensive and sustainable economic stability.   342 views  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=58100

Oil Prices Rise, Brent Exceeds $72 A Barrel

Energy   Oil prices rose slightly on Wednesday, as investors focused on developments in US President Donald Trump's deadline to end the war in Ukraine and his threat to impose tariffs on countries that trade in Russian oil.

Brent crude futures, the most active, rose 40 cents, or about 0.6%, to $72.09 a barrel.

US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 76 cents to $69.97 a barrel, as investors shrugged off mixed US data on oil and fuel inventories.  September Brent futures rise ahead of trading close.

September Brent crude, which expires Wednesday, rose 37 cents to $72.88.
Both contracts had fallen about 1% earlier in the session.

Trump said on Tuesday that he would begin imposing measures on Russia, including secondary tariffs of 100% on its trading partners, if it did not make progress in ending the war within 10 to 12 days, 50 days earlier than previously scheduled.

Trump also imposed a 25% tariff on goods imported from India starting August 1, along with unspecified sanctions related to arms and oil purchases from Russia, potentially straining relations with the world's most populous democracy.

The United States also warned China, the largest buyer of Russian oil, that it could face hefty tariffs if it continues to purchase this oil.  US inventory data reveals unexpected increases.

The US Energy Information Administration announced that US crude inventories rose by 7.7 million barrels, compared to analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a decrease of 1.3 million barrels.

US gasoline inventories fell by 2.7 million barrels, compared to expectations for a smaller decrease of 0.6 million barrels.

Distillate inventories, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 3.6 million barrels, exceeding expectations for a gain of only 0.3 million barrels, according to the EIA data. 56 views  2025/07/30 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=58141

Project “Hijack the Fed” is now in full swing [Podcast]

Project “Hijack the Fed” is now in full swing [Podcast]

Notes From Te Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  July 30, 2025

To the surprise of absolutely no one today, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee chose to do nothing at the close of its two-day meeting.

The White House is furious about the decision; the President believes that the Fed should be slashing rates, and that the current “high” rate of interest is costing the US government hundreds of billions of dollars each year in excess interest.

(I put “high” in quotes because interest rates are still well below historic averages...)

Now, I am no fan of the Fed. Quite the opposite— the organization is a total failure.

Just consider that section 2A of the Federal Reserve Act (passed in 1913) states that the Fed is supposed to maintain a stable currency. Yet the US dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power under the Fed’s stewardship over the past 112 years.

Personally I think it’s difficult to find another organization that has been so terrible at its core mission for so long.

Yet even with that scathing criticism in mind, it’s still not the Fed’s job to bail out the US government’s finances.

If Congress and the White House want to pay a lower interest rate on the national debt, then they can make the hard decisions to cut spending, balance the budget, and attract foreign investment by acting like responsible adults.

Unfortunately none of that seems to be in the cards.

So instead there seems to be a clear plan being hatched: Project “Hijack the Fed”.

Let’s start from the basics:

In order to fund its roughly $2 trillion annual budget deficit, the US government has to sell debt (bonds) to investors to plug its funding gap. And this responsibility falls to the Treasury Department.

Ordinarily, Treasury would sell a mix of US government bonds, ranging from ultra-short-term 28-day T-bills, to very long-term 30-year bonds.

Lately, however, the Treasury Department has been focused on selling mostly short-term bonds... simply because those rates are lower. The yield on a 12-month T-bill, for example, is just 3.86%, whereas the yield on 10-year Treasury is almost 5%, so it’s a difference of roughly 1%.

In some ways it’s sensible to take the lower rate. But it’s a risky strategy.

If interest rates suddenly rise, then the US government could wind up paying even MORE interest in the next few years, just to save 1% today.

So clearly the Treasury Department must have some confidence that rates won’t be going higher... and will probably be headed lower.

Last month Secretary Bessent even said this out loud: “What I’m going to do is, I’m going to go very short-term. . . Wait until this guy [Fed Chairman Jerome Powell] gets out, get the rates way down, and then go long-term.”

In other words, he’s going to keep selling the lower-interest short-term debt. Then, once Jerome Powell’s term as Fed Chairman ends next year, the Treasury Secretary thinks that HE will be able to “get the rates way down”, at which point he’ll start selling long-term debt to lock in lower rates.

This is a stunning admission that the Treasury Secretary (and by extension the White House) think that they will be able to steer interest rates much lower through their new Fed pick next year.

Coincidentally, Treasury Secretary Bessent also happens to be on Donald Trump’s shortlist to be the next Fed Chairman.

So let’s skip over the obvious legal and reputational issues involved in such a move.

The bigger problem is that there’s only one way for the Fed— even if Secretary Bessent becomes Chairman— to “get the rates way down”... and that is by expanding the money supply, i.e. what we often refer to as printing money.

And just as we saw during the pandemic when the Fed printed $5 trillion, large-scale money printing can easily lead to some nasty inflation.

Why it matters:

We’ve been talking about the next inflation cycle for a while, explaining why 2033 is the key date to keep in mind; this is when Social Security’s major trust fund will run out of money, prompting the Fed to print trillions of dollars and trigger inflation.

But given the Treasury Department and White House’s plan to hijack the Fed, it’s possible that the next inflation cycle could start up again as early as next year. 

This isn’t a foregone conclusion. But it makes sense to pay close attention to what they’re doing, because it’s starting to look pretty obvious that they plan to print a lot of money starting next summer.

Today’s podcast:

I want to stress that I’m not predicting some imminent doom. The end of the world is not upon us. There is no reason for rational people to panic.

But it is becoming increasingly obvious where this trend will lead. The Treasury Secretary of the United States of America is flat-out saying that he’s going to “get the rates way down” as early as next summer. And it would be foolish to ignore the inflationary consequences of his plan. 

We discuss all of this in depth in today’s podcast episode, including:

• Will the next inflation cycle mean painfully higher food and fuel prices, or perhaps just an inflated stock and real estate market?
  

• Why there’s a straight line linking the post-GFC (2010-2016) stock market bubble and ‘asset price inflation’, to the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
  

• We explain that, while the Fed has a lot of influence over short-term interest rates, they can’t control long-term rates (including mortgage rates) without printing tons of money. And, yes, that means inflation.
  

• How the next phase of money printing could make the 2020–2021 pandemic inflation look tame by comparison; it’s all about the sheer volume of money at stake, i.e. $5 trillion versus potentially $20+ trillion.
  

• Why the US could hit a fiscal wall sooner than anyone thinks, where 100% of tax revenue is consumed JUST by debt interest, Social Security, and Medicare.
  

• We also talk about sensible ways to position yourself for inflation in ways that make sense regardless of what happens (or doesn’t happen) next.
