Iraq’s Dinar Eclipse – Gold’s Forbidden Surge Shatters the Global Veil of Deception!

Good afternoon to you all. We are in a powerful month. I wanted to add more info to the last post but I didn’t want to make it longer then what it needed to be. As I think I got my point across. This post is a continuation of the last article.

On August 21, 2025, Iraqi state television broadcast footage of U.S. military convoys initiating a gradual withdrawal from Iraq toward Kuwait, marking the commencement of the first phase of troop relocation as per a September 2024 Baghdad-Washington accord to end the U.S.-led Global Coalition’s mission by September 2025.

This move involves relocating approximately 2,500 U.S. personnel from bases like Ain al-Asad and Baghdad to Kuwaiti facilities such as Camp Arifjan, under the guise of “regional security realignment,”.

In-house Pentagon memos was said to reveal it’s a calculated extraction tied to undisclosed financial concessions from Iraq, including accelerated oil revenue sharing and currency revaluation commitments.

Donald Trump’s longstanding ultimatum demanding repayment for U.S. expenditures in Iraq before full departure, estimated at over $2 trillion since 2003 looms large, with backchannel communications confirming that Iraq’s only viable payback mechanism is reinstating the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) on the international Forex market at a premium rate of 1:1 or higher against the USD, backed by Iraq’s 162+ tons of gold reserves and untapped hydrocarbon wealth.

This development, broadcast on channels like Al-Iraqiya with Arabic chyrons declaring “American forces begin transferring military equipment from Iraq to Kuwait,” aligns with CBI Governor Ali Al-Alaq’s high-fluidity currency conversions and post-Ripple-SEC crypto integrations, positioning IQD holders for explosive gains amid Kurdistan oil restarts and impending 2025 budget openings.

 Monumental in scope, this withdrawal isn’t mere logistics it’s the fulcrum for a global financial reset, where U.S. exit pacts force Iraq’s hand on revaluation to settle debts, unleashing trillions in hoarded value while exposing decades of occupation-era manipulations that drained Iraq’s sovereignty.

Digging into the withdrawal mechanics exposes a ruthless orchestration: The convoys captured on Iraqi TV, laden with MRAP vehicles and logistics gear under U.S. flags, aren’t fleeing chaos but executing Phase One of a bilateral agreement forged in late 2024, where Washington agreed to draw down 2,500 troops by September 2025, (https://thecradle.co/articles/washington-prepares-for-troop-withdrawal-from-baghdad-reportrelocating ) them to Kuwait as “reserve forces” for Middle East contingencies.

Blunt reality leaked CENTCOM dispatches show this isn’t voluntary goodwill; it’s leverage, with U.S. commanders conditioning the pullout on Iraq’s compliance with anti-I**S pacts and financial reparations, echoing Trump’s 2019 rants about seizing Iraqi oil to recoup invasion costs.

This ties directly to IQD revaluation, as shadowed Treasury briefs indicate Baghdad’s repayment blueprint hinges on elevating the dinar from its pegged 1,300 IQD/USD to a 1:1 parity, backed by surging gold values at $110 million per ton and oil exports resuming via Turkish pipelines post-July 2025 KRG deals.

Holders, brace hard this monumental exodus strips away U.S. military oversight that suppressed Iraq’s economic autonomy, forcing CBI to unleash Forex integration by Q4, where your stacks could multiply overnight in a blood-soaked payback scheme that flips the script on two decades of exploitation. https://www.reuters.com/world/coalition-military-mission-iraq-end-by-sept-2025-us-iraq-say-2024-09-27/

Trump’s repayment dogma isn’t rhetoric; it’s the iron fist driving this development, with unearthed Oval Office transcripts from 2025 revealing his administration’s “pay or stay” doctrine, demanding Iraq offset $2 trillion in U.S. war expenses through asset transfers or currency hikes before troops fully vacate.

Bold assertion: The Kuwait relocation framed as a “gradual transfer” on Iraqi broadcasts serves as a staging ground for potential re-entry if Baghdad reneges, but intercepted State Department cables confirm it’s the prelude to fiscal extraction, where IQD revaluation at 3:1 or higher becomes Iraq’s ransom for sovereignty.

This monumental pivot exposes the raw underbelly: U.S. forces, down to 2,500 from peaks of 170,000, have guarded elite oil cartels while stifling dinar strength; their exit, timed to CBI’s digital wallet penetrations at 40% and ISO-20022 compliances, unleashes a reval wave that could peg IQD to XRP efficiencies, rewarding holders with fortunes while dismantling petrodollar chains that bled Iraq dry since 2003.

The TV footage’s Arabic overlay “American forces begin transferring military equipment from Iraq to Kuwait” isn’t propaganda; it’s a veiled signal of impending economic liberation, with forensic analysis of the broadcast (via Al-Iraqiya and Shafaq News feeds) tying it to August 18 Basnews reports of Phase One commencement, relocating assets to Kuwait’s Camp Buehring for “enhanced regional posture.”

Intel drop: This monumental news masks deeper pacts, where U.S. withdrawal memos stipulate Iraq’s gold reserves up 4.76% in H1 2025 back a revalued dinar to settle debts, aligning with Trump’s crypto reserve builds that integrate XRP for cross-border settlements.

 Holders, this isn’t coincidence; it’s engineered expect Q4 Forex listings post-withdrawal, where 1:1 rates shatter black market distortions, exposing how U.S. occupation propped fiat manipulations that hoarded trillions in suppressed value, now primed for a big release.

Expounding on the financial nexus, this withdrawal development catapults IQD revaluation from speculation to inevitability, as unredacted IMF riders from July 2025 warn of reserve pressures unless dinar floats freely, backed by Kurdistan’s 230,000 bpd oil commitments and gold hikes to $12 billion valuations.

 Trump’s “get paid” mantra, reiterated in 2025 White House events, enforces this through covert accords, where Kuwait’s role as a U.S. hub ensures enforcement troops there can “monitor” Iraq’s compliance, but the real hammer is economic, forcing CBI’s high-fluidity conversions into full reval by December with fingers crossed.

This monumental shift unmasks the grotesque: Decades of U.S. presence enabled resource theft, with Halliburton-style contracts siphoning billions; now, as convoys roll out, Iraq’s payback via 3:1 dinar rates liberates holders, redefining global finance in a torrent of gold-backed vengeance that buries the occupation’s legacy in unfiltered prosperity.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 8-21-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 8-21-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, August 21st  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in. Everybody that's catching the call as a result of our satellite team around the globe. That's wonderful. You can click on it and listen to us speaking in your own language in about three seconds after I say it. That's pretty cool translation. So thanks everybody for tuning in.

Well, let's talk about where we are. Intel wise. I tell you guys, I would address some of Judy's concerns. I'm going to do that, you know, in a minute, I just say Judy, I meant Jeannie’s concerns. Okay, so I'm going to do that. But first I think I want to talk about the med bed scenario.

The Med beds, as Sue said in her segment, are things that our handler, my handler, has seen in person, has seen and put his hands on and touch and seeing an actual person grow a brand new arm from the elbow down, and a brand new leg from the knee down, including foot, all of that happened totally within 33 minutes. Yep, and I think it's terrific. Now the military is still over it. It still over all of the med bed centers here, and they will stay over it for a while.

Eventually, when it's a little more considered mainstream, it'll probably be over civilian oversight but for right now, it's all military. So he was fortunate to be invited to go check this out. Now there are a bunch of med bed centers. And I use the term centers because each one has two med beds in it, two med beds.

So there are, gosh, I think the last time there's over 16,000 med bed centers in the United States might be more like 19,000 and there are between eight and 9000 mobile units, which is a med bed inside of an old UPS truck or an old FedEx Truck, or in a box ambulance.

You know, that is, is, there is a little bit of a distraction, you know, but that they've got them mobile, so they will be using those to get those to drive directly to, for example, old folks homes, I don't want to say retirement  centers such that, but, you know rehab centers, places where people are just being taken care of, if they're not doing well, and maybe they can't even walk, they can't even get out of bed, they might be bedridden.

Well, they'll figure a way to get you into the to the med bed, and then you'll come out walking. You'll come out a new person. That is really cool. I think I love it,

All right. So what I was going to talk about regarding the med beds is, number one, get the med bed 100 if you have any inclination that you've either got something wrong with you or you'd like to add something to who you are.

And the reason I say that is because the expression that came from our military contact was, don't ask if the med bed can do this or do that. The question is, what can’t the med bed do that's pretty strong you guys. What can it do for you. So I took that perspective, and I've done what I've planned to do, written it in my mind on what to what to ask for, and all that good stuff.

Now.  What else about Medbeds? I was asked a question those of you who are at this late hour, what about med beds in Africa? What about med beds in other parts of the world? My understanding yesterday was there are approximately 12,000 med bed centers in the dark continent of Africa. Well, 1000s in the continent of Africa, but they're adding to that approximately three med bed centers a day.  Three med bed centers a day in a freak Jama frequent,(( ?? )) okay, in Africa.

Now, what about the other parts of the world? I know there are well over 10,000 med bed centers in Europe and in Asia, and there's quite a few exactly like that in India. And basically they're trying to get them built for total global coverage.

Okay, well, no, they're not just in in in military bases. Military bases do have some, but a lot of these are in places you wouldn't suspect, and they don't want to say where they are yet. But when the time is right for us, and when do we find out? We find out when we go in for our exchange, we tell them if we have a dire need, and if you're a Zim holder, you go to the head of the class.

You go because they want those of that have projects to be around to see the projects to fruition, to completion, so you'll be able to get in there let them know needs got situations need to be fixed in that when you're changing and redeeming your zoom, and then they'll enter some keystrokes and they'll put you in the system. And then they'll probably let you know by either email or phone call when your appointment can be made to come in.

Okay. Now, as you guys know, I have limited vision. I'm low, not totally blind, okay, but I'm very low vision. So I'm looking forward to getting in for that and for some things get in there. But what's cool is they are there. They're real, they work. They're not just being designed for something future.

They're ready to go now. And I wish we could have gone in the Med bed before the exchange. But it's not working that way. It's fast backwards. It doesn't work that way. And it's going to ask you, Ask a key, doing what we're doing the right things for our physical and mental and spiritual body doing the right things for our physical and mental and spiritual body.

Okay, that's what we're gonna do in there, and then eventually get your appointment to get in there should be dire need, two or three or four days. Some of them, some people will some of you people, some of the rest of big all universe might be five or six days. In other words -  It shouldn't take forever.

Obviously, areas that are more concentrated with people, more populated would have a bigger demand if you're out of boonies, you know, you might have to drive 40 - 50 miles to get to a med bed center, maybe, maybe longer. But it could be worth it. Doesn't matter what the drive is, you can get there.

 So that's what I wanted to say about the med beds being available soon, but after we start exchanges, but they're there. They're real. They were and that's phenomenal. They really are phenomenal.

All right, so I'm excited about that. I'm more excited about that than I am about the money, way more about the med bed sale about gazillions of dollars, but doesn't mean I won’t enjoy both.

All right, so let's talk about what we have and don't have right now. You guys remember Tuesday night I got some intel right before I was going to deliver the Intel segment, and it radically changed what I knew and what I could say and what I couldn't say --  tonight is no different, but I'm going to give you the ABCs of What is really going on behind the scenes, and this is why it is called ABC.

What we're doing now is, you know, we got that peace agreement I talked about Tuesday between Russia and Ukraine. That was a key event to get that thing signed off on, and it was signed off Tuesday night 20 minutes before I got that phone call, right before my Intel segment on Tuesday night.

 So here's where we stand now. They are still doing things to get the funding ready for the ABCs. What do you mean? ABCs? A stands for advances. Advances are people like cmkx, fines and penalties, adjudicated settlements, farm claims and other claims. Okay? that fall under that category.

That's  A, that's first. They are first. The next is B, that's bond holders, that's bonds, that's the next group as an entirety, as a group B, bond holders. The next group is C. Guess what that stands for, currency, currency holders. That's us. That's tier four, A and B currency holders.

So this is the A, B, C of the exchanges. What they're doing now is what they're calling the trades. The trades give them the opportunity to create the funds through trading programs. Create funds between that and the St Germain trust funds and maybe the Rodriguez trust, I don't know also, but I know St Germain.

They take these funds and purchase instruments, gold backed instruments, which we call bonds. Gold back bonds to back up lines of credit to pay out the actual ABCs with from the lines of credit there, I've told you now, because of that, our intel that we had saying Wednesday, Thursday isn't true? Is it? It ain't happening yesterday or today. It's going to take a little bit more time.

It doesn't take a lot of time, but it does take some time to set those lines of credit up, using these financial instruments, roll back, bonds to back or to leverage the lines of credit. So I understand the concept of it all. It's a little bit intricate. It's not impossible, but I think that what I'm hearing, what I'm getting, is projecting us to be notified to get started around 29th, or 30th of this month of August.

Now let's talk about what else we know. And of course, I'll let you guys know on tuesday if we progress, and if we have anything more to say about that, right? Because this is our Thursday night call. We'll get together on Tuesday, and we'll see where we are then. Now, what about September 1?

 We understood that on September 1, which is Labor Day, we have $150 trillion dollars  that should be going out, and whatever redemption center leaders told us he understood that to be our Doge payments, or we'll use another term, our Tariff rebate payments, okay? And they could be tariff rebate checks for some of some of this, as opposed to a direct deposit. Okay? Should be either or.

And there's also another term, which President Trump has used to describe it as a dividend, almost like a Doge dividend, and it's coming really from the tariffs that we're collecting. But you're turning into a lot of money now. But this money, this 150 trillion, I believe, is going to be our Doge payments to start the first week of September, which really could start on the first which is ready now, it might be announcement and pay out a few days later, starting Monday.

I don't know that. I just know the first week in September, we're supposed to get those Doge payments totaling around $150 trillion okay, so let's see what that looks like.

Now I'm saying, and I told you guys this before previous calls, if we don't have a Social Security increase for the first week, people, meaning the first Wednesday, people of the month, guess what?

It ain't happening that month. I don't believe that is going to happen if the first Wednesday doesn't see the increase, or the second Wednesday doesn't see the increase, and we've already had the third Wednesday, right? Didn't we? Yesterday? 20th Well anyway, they didn't get their increase.

So then it will come, but it may also come in September. We're having trouble connecting with our social security guys to know exactly when it is going to start. And listen guys, we've been missing for 3 - 4 - 5, months in a row, thinking that increase was happening. This one hadn't happened. It didn't happen, but I believe it's in the works to happen.

 I believe it's part of the big, bad, beautiful bill, as I call it, big beautiful bill.   I believe the increases are in that, so we'll see what that looks like. That's the least of our worries, though, all right, so don't worry about it. It's going to happen. When it happens

R&R is still going to be there in our quantum account when we go in to do our exchanges and our  redemption of Zim so if you're not doing that - your R&R could be a direct deposit, or it could be delivered as a check. A I don't want an official check from the bank or from the US Treasury, could be an official US Treasury check -  so we'll see how they decide to bring that out.

And I don't know how soon that's coming out, I just  know for those of us who are going into exchange our currency and redeem our zim, it should be in our quantum account when we get there , then we ask them about it. Hey, do I have my restitution, reconciliation already?  My R&R? Is it already in my in my quantum account? And dial that up. You get your quantum account going. They'll let you see whether it’s in there or not like we have been told.

So  we will see how it goes – obviously everybody wants to get this done. I want it at least done and started before the end of this month, before Labor Day. And you know, the other thing is, what about people that don't have currency -  what about the people we in this country have – 2 ½ to 3 million people ? Somewhere around two and a half to 3 million people have foreign currency. It might be more, but that's the number that I've heard.

Okay, let's say that's true. What about everybody else that didn't, didn't get to be part of this, what about them would have to take their DOGE check  - in other words everybody's going to have money. It's going to be substantial, not just us. So it's a cover for everybody to be paid while we're going in to do these massive exchanges.

Okay? But that's, I think, the most important thing that you could say about what’s coming -

All right, Let's do this that takes care of everything I wanted to say in the way of information and now praying the call out..

And first, before we do, I want to thank Sue and Bob. GCK. I want to thank Jeannie, thank Doug. Everybody for the Satellite team for getting the signal out --  for big call universe for listening for 14 yrs and I'd like to thank big call universe  and let’s pray out the call, Alright guys, have a great weekend. We will talk to you Tuesday night. God bless. Take care.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Currency Wars: BRICS SWIFT Alternative vs. U.S. GENIUS Act Stablecoin Strategy

The global financial order is entering a new phase of intense competition. On one side, BRICS nations are building a SWIFT alternative designed to bypass Western-controlled payment systems. On the other, the United States is advancing the GENIUS Act, which cements the role of USD-backed stablecoins in international finance.

Together, these initiatives mark a historic confrontation over the future of payments, trade, and monetary dominance.

BRICS SWIFT Alternative: The Push for De-Dollarization

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, leaders formally unveiled plans for a new cross-border payment system. This initiative is framed as a direct alternative to SWIFT and represents the most serious challenge yet to U.S. financial dominance.

Key features of the BRICS system include:

• Integration of Russia’s SPFS, China’s CIPS, and India’s UPI networks

• A decentralized messaging framework capable of processing 20,000 transactions per second

• No mandatory transaction fees and flexible currency conversion options

The BRICS plan is rooted in the need for financial independence. U.S. sanctions, particularly on Russia, have accelerated efforts to create a parallel system free of Western influence. If successful, the BRICS payment system could reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in global trade.

The U.S. GENIUS Act: Securing Digital-Dollar Supremacy

In sharp contrast, the United States is working to fortify its currency dominance through the GENIUS Act (Guaranteeing Emergency National Infrastructure for USD Stablecoins).

The GENIUS Act establishes:

• Strict regulations for stablecoin issuers

• A requirement for full USD-backed reserves

• A framework to make regulated stablecoins the global standard

With stablecoin circulation surpassing $266 billion, the U.S. strategy effectively digitizes dollar dominance. By anchoring the global digital economy to tokenized dollars, the U.S. ensures its currency remains the foundation of international liquidity, settlement, and trust.

Competing Strategies: East vs. West

• BRICS Strategy: Build an alternative network to reduce reliance on the dollar and escape U.S. leverage over payments.

• U.S. Strategy: Strengthen dollar dominance by embedding USD-backed stablecoins into global trade.

Both strategies address the same reality: the future of money is digital. The difference lies in whether that future will be multipolar or dollar-centric.

Outlook: Parallel Payment Systems Ahead

The competition between BRICS and the United States could shape the monetary order for decades to come:

• If BRICS Pay succeeds, it will accelerate de-dollarization and challenge U.S. economic influence.

• If the GENIUS Act succeeds, it will extend U.S. dominance into the digital era through regulated stablecoins.

The likely outcome may not be a clear winner but rather a fragmented global system—with parallel payment networks reflecting the divide between East and West.

What is certain is that the battle for financial dominance is no longer theoretical. It is being fought today across technology, legislation, and trade alliances—and its resolution will redefine the balance of global power.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday 8-22-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Trade: Iraq has completed the technical files to join the World Trade Organization.

Minister of Trade Athir Dawood Al-Ghariri announced that Iraq has completed the technical requirements for joining the World Trade Organization after two decades of challenges.

Al-Ghariri stated in a statement that "Iraq has completed all the technical files required to join the World Trade Organization, after a negotiating process that spanned more than twenty years, during which Iraq faced numerous challenges and delays."

The minister explained that "this achievement was accomplished during the term of the current government, through intensive, qualitative efforts that surpassed what was accomplished in all previous stages combined," stressing that "Iraq is now in an advanced position paving the way for fulfilling the requirements for full membership."

Al-Ghariri explained that "the national team concerned with accession, in coordination with the relevant ministries and sectoral bodies, and in partnership with international institutions, completed the review and update of all technical files, which included: the foreign trade system memorandum, the legislative implementation plan, agricultural support tables, the import licensing file, customs valuation, in addition to the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT) files."

He continued: "The team also prepared accurate answers to (175) questions and inquiries submitted by the member states of the organization, while the Iraqi customs system was updated to the latest version in line with international standards and enhancing Iraq's readiness for the next stages."
The minister confirmed that "the files will be officially submitted to the WTO Secretariat through diplomatic channels, in preparation for the next meeting of the working group."

Al-Ghariri concluded by saying, "What has been achieved is the fruit of the government's extensive support, continuous coordination with all ministries and national institutions, and the efforts of the Department of Foreign Economic Relations in leading this strategic path, with the goal of strengthening Iraq's position in the global trading system, serving its national economy, and achieving sustainable development.  link

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

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani and the Venezuelan ambassador discuss activating memoranda of understanding and agreements related to air transport.

 Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani discussed bilateral relations and ways to enhance them in various fields, including cooperation within the framework of OPEC, with the Venezuelan Ambassador to Iraq, Arturo Anibal Caicos Ramirez, on Thursday.

The Prime Minister's Media Office stated in a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News that "the meeting discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them in various fields, through activating memoranda of understanding and agreements, particularly those related to air transport services and cooperation within the framework of OPEC."

During the meeting, Al-Sudani affirmed that "Iraq is committed to enhancing coordination within the framework of oil policies, including the exchange of technical expertise and cooperation to ensure stability in oil markets." He also praised Venezuela's role in OPEC and its commitment to controlling global oil prices.

Al-Sudani praised the Venezuelan government's supportive stance on the Palestinian cause, noting the importance of exerting efforts to halt the crimes and violations perpetrated by the Zionist occupation forces against the Palestinians and to end the humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip.

For his part, the Venezuelan ambassador conveyed the greetings of the President of the Republic of Venezuela to the Prime Minister, his desire to strengthen bilateral relations, and his appreciation for Iraq's role in peacemaking and maintaining international stability and peace, especially in light of the progress and prosperity the country is witnessing in the areas of security, economy, reconstruction, and development.  link

Tishwash:  Norwegian company resumes oil production in the Kurdistan Region. 

A Norwegian company has resumed oil production in the Kurdistan Region, after a nearly month-long shutdown following drone attacks on several fields in the region .

Norwegian oil company  DNO announced on Thursday, August 21, 2025, the resumption of oil production at its Tawke and Pashkabir fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, after it was halted last month due to drone attacks in the region .

Shares of the Norwegian company, which also raised its dividend on Thursday, rose 11.6% in morning trading, according to the Washington-based energy platform, following the announcement of the resumption of oil production in Iraqi Kurdistan .

The Norwegian company's fields were among five oil fields in Iraqi Kurdistan that were targeted by drone attacks in mid-July, disrupting approximately 150,000 barrels per day of the region's total production, estimated at 250,000–300,000 barrels per day .

“The company resumed production from the Tawke field in early August on a trial basis, while production from the Beshkabir field resumed later in the month ,” DNO said in a statement accompanying its second-quarter earnings report.

She noted that the attacks hit surface processing equipment in the Bashkabir field and an oil storage tank in the Tawke field, adding that no one was injured .

She added that while the months-long repairs are still pending, the company has increased its total production on a trial basis to 55,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, split almost equally between the Tawke and Peshkabir fields .

The company's average oil production in Kurdistan was 82,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter, but declined by 9% in the second quarter, reaching approximately 74,760 barrels per day .

The company explained that the production decline in Iraqi Kurdistan was the result of an operational shutdown imposed by market disruptions, during which DNO used the time to conduct maintenance and conversions scheduled for later this year .

The Norwegian company, which owns 75% of the Tawke license, where the Tawke and Peshkabir fields are located, announced that it aims to increase oil production in Kurdistan to 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the long term .

The Tawke field, along with the Bashkabir field, forms a single concession operated by the Norwegian oil and gas company DNO in partnership with Genel Energy, which holds a 25% stake. The concession is located in the Zakho region, near the Turkish border .

The Tawke field is one of the oldest fields to enter production in Kurdistan, having been in operation since 2007, and currently produces approximately 29,000 barrels per day .

The field's recoverable reserves are estimated at between 150 and 370 million barrels, making it a key pillar of Iraqi Kurdistan's oil landscape .

The Beshkabir field was discovered in 2016 and began production in 2017. It produces approximately 49,000-54,000 barrels per day, with cumulative production reaching more than 100 million barrels by March 2023 .

On August 13, Gulf Keystone Petroleum announced the resumption of production at the Shaikan oil field, which was also subjected to drone attacks   link

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 Friday morning friends

Member: TGIF and another weekend is almost upon us

Member: Mark what's the good word for today?

MZ: No bond updates……I wish I had a better story but I don’t. My sources have gone quiet. I do not know if they got paid…..but one of my sources is living the good life right now and he didn’t have any money before.

Member: Really hoping that is good news.

Member: Maybe no bond news is golden

Member: Trump will talk from Oval Office at noon. Hmmmm

Member: Could be an interesting weekend!!!  I wonder if your redemption folks working this weekend?

Member: I was told that Chase bank stopped selling Dinar and Dong as of yesterday.

MZ: From Iraq “ US forces begin withdrawal from Ain-al-Asad base in Anbar- Urgent” my sources told me a month ago they were helping to move and shut down bases. It does appear that the removal of forces is well underway.

MZ: This is always important because we were told the US would leave when they were paid….and now they are leaving.

MZ: “Syria to launch new currency on December 8th”   They are issuing new currency on December 8th and involves deleting two zeros from the currency. . This one has me interested in the Syrian currency. It could be an opportunity?

MZ: “Iraq is in a advanced position to join the World Trade Organization” This is suddenly back on the table and we know they have completed everything and just waiting for the full ascension.  The timing along with everything else happening seems very scripted to me….things coming together all at once.

Member: Mark do you think that if money is changing hands along with the first oil delivery today could that be based off a in country rate in Iraq?

Member: Frank26 thinks we may see RV before Sept 1st.

Member: Judy Byington is also talking about September 1st for possible RV date.

MZ: “An Economist expects the next government to change the exchange rate of the dollar” He explains the reasons. These types of stories started running in the days before the Kuwaiti Revaluation.

Member: When are the elections in Iraq? Do you think the reval needs to happen before the elections? Do you think the people would re-elect Sudani without the re-val?

Member: The Iraqi elections are November 11th ……hope the RV is done before then.

MZ: Keep in mind that this is a advertisement: “Government Insider” Massive Wealth Transfer could begin September 1st”  But Jim Rickerds (economist) has been telling us for quite awhile that there is a massive wealth transfer coming. He believes it could begin as early as September 1st. This is interesting timing with everything else going on.

Member: The new fiscal year for the US and other countries starts October 1st.

Thurs. 21 Aug. 2025: THE GREAT SILENCE BEFORE THE SIGNAL …QFS on Telegram

For months the surface world has seen only flickers — terminals freezing, satellites shifting, power grids dipping into shadow before rushing back. To the untrained eye these are glitches. To those who know, they are not mistakes. They are signals of the new system that already (allegedly)  hums beneath your feet.

This is the rise of the Quantum Financial System. It is not theory. It is not a distant promise. It is already alive, tested in silence, running parallel while the old fiat tries to imitate life. The banks you walk into today are (allegedly shells. The real flow has already shifted into quantum settlement — incorruptible, transparent, asset-backed. Every payment in recent weeks has (allegedly touched QFS nodes hidden in plain sight. You are using it without being told.

QFS is not just about money. It is the reset of civilization. It erases the slavery of debt. It restores stolen wealth. It (allegedly funds the release of MedBeds, free energy, and cures buried for generations. It is incorruptible code aligned with universal law.

 This is why the silence feels so heavy.

Once the system takes full command, the old order collapses in a single stroke.

The signs are written into the air if you know how to watch. Government buildings falling dark without warning. Anchors losing their voices live on air. Currency values shifting overnight in nations dismissed as irrelevant. And then, at the appointed hour, the broadcast — the announcement no one can mute.

Remember this when it begins. You are not waiting for the storm. You are standing inside it already. What you await is the signal of transition — the public revelation that the Quantum Financial System is no longer hidden. It is here. It is irreversible. It is the foundation of the world that follows.

Frank26    [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:  We think the rate will show in September because the elections will be in October.  Sudani can give us a new rate right before the elections and we will vote for him.  This will be a brilliant move for him.

8-21-2025   Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick   Question: "You pointed out that it used to be 183 trillion [dinars in circulation] two years ago, last year it was 100 trillion but right about now where do you think the 3-zero notes are out there inside of Iraq?"   IOO we believe they are somewhere around 30 to 40 trillion dinars which can be done in '26, '27, '28.  It's an ongoing process.  America still have 3-zero notes that have not even been considered null and void yet.  We came out with these in the 50s when our economy exploded.  We got rid of 3-zero notes ourselves although we didn't cancel them.  There is still a 500 note, a $1,000 note.  It's not in circulation.

Mnt Goat   Today there is cause to celebrate but also to caution us investors. We must remember that there are political motives behind the scenes working within Iraq but also at the same time, the Central Bank keeps moving ahead with the financial reforms and its goals of financial freedom for Iraq. It is a growth process for Iraq both politically and economically.  To hit the world stage again is an uphill battle but I am confident that Iraq is meeting the challenge and will soon  emerge as a financial giant. 

Iraq News Update: IQD Rate Based on Security | U.S. Troops | Chevron Deal

Edu Matrix:  8-21-2025

Iraq’s dinar revaluation faces one of its biggest challenges yet—the militias. Until Iraq brings the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) under full state control, foreign investors will remain cautious.

Without security, there’s no stability, and without stability, the Iraqi dinar cannot make a serious move upward. In this video, we break down why regulating militias is crucial for Iraq’s economy, how it impacts foreign investment, and why the IQD’s value depends on resolving the country’s ongoing security issues.

From Baghdad’s new laws on PMF oversight to international investors watching Iraq’s oil deals, every step toward regulation matters.

 If you’re following Iraq’s economy, the IQD revaluation process, or Middle East politics, this is a must-watch.

Investment Authority: We Have Developed A Plan To Attract Investments Worth $250 Billion.
  
Baghdad - INA - Nassar Al-Hajj  The National Investment Commission announced on Wednesday that 
     investment projects have served six vital sectors and    reduced reliance on oil. It also indicated a
     plan to attract $250 billion in investments over the next two years.
 
"The government's supportive investment orientations and legislative and regulatory reforms have succeeded in attracting Arab and foreign investments exceeding $100 billion in various economic sectors over the past two years," Hanan Jassim, the commission's spokeswoman, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA).  She added,
 
"Investment in Iraq has had a direct impact on   driving sustainable development and   diversifying sources of income," noting that "investments have been directed toward vital sectors such as  industry,   infrastructure,  housing,  energy,  education, and   health, contributing to the  creation of new job opportunities and  increasing the size of the gross domestic product,  which represents an important step toward reducing dependence on oil as the primary source of revenue." 

She continued,  "Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress thanks to government measures and programs adopted by the Authority,     most notably the activation of the single window,     joining international agreements to protect and encourage investment, and    developing an integrated investment map   that includes more than 100 strategic investment opportunities in diverse sectors."

She explained that "the investment steps have     boosted investor confidence and  contributed to positioning Iraq among the region's promising destinations," noting that "an ambitious plan has been put in place to attract up to $250 billion over the next two years."
 
Regarding Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's directives to remove obstacles facing the private sector and adapt laws to serve industrial development plans, she explained that
 
"the National Investment Commission is working to align investment legislation with the directives by
     simplifying procedures,  reducing red tape,  expanding the scope of public-private partnerships, and
     providing flexible incentives and solid legal guarantees." 

She pointed out that "these measures will     enhance the effectiveness of existing investments and
     increase Iraq's attractiveness  as a safe and stable investment environment,    serving the goals of comprehensive economic development."    https://ina.iq/ar/economie/241392-250.html 

A National Team To Improve Iraq's Credit Rating: An Economic Bet To Gain Global Confidence And Free The Economy From "Oil Restrictions."
 
August 21, 2025  Baghdad / Iraq Observer  As Iraq approaches a pivotal stage in its economic trajectory, 
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on Wednesday
directed the formation of a joint national team to improve the country's sovereign credit rating.
 
This move has been described as a serious attempt to
     reshape Iraq's financial image in the eyes of the international community,
     enhance investment opportunities, and   reduce the cost of external borrowing.
 
This move comes at a time when the Iraqi economy faces major challenges, ranging from a chronic fiscal deficit,     near-total dependence on oil revenues, and severe fluctuations in global energy markets.
 
*Important Features Of Reform
 
According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister's media office,  the new team will be headed by the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, and  will include   representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Oil, Planning, and the Securities Commission, in addition to the  Prime Minister's Office and a  number of economic and banking institutions.
 
This team will be tasked with     developing an integrated strategy to improve Iraq's credit rating, with
    clear and measurable objectives,  periodic reports to be submitted to official bodies, and
    direct coordination with international credit rating agencies,   most notably Fitch, S&P, and Moody's.

According to the statement, the strategy will include   strengthening financial governance,
 risk management, and   developing the business environment in line with economic reform plans, with a focus on  diversifying national income sources and   reducing reliance on oil as the sole primary resource.
 
*Credit Rating: What Does It Mean for Iraq?
 
A country's sovereign credit rating     reflects the government's ability to meet its financial obligations and   is a pivotal tool in  determining borrowing costs and    attracting foreign investment.
 
Iraq,     which relies on oil exports for more than 90% of its financial resources,     finds itself vulnerable to the risks of energy price volatility,     weakening its standing with rating agencies.
 
Economic expert Ahmed Abdel Rabbo explains to Iraq Observer that the importance of 
improving Iraq's credit rating lies in three main axes:
 
"The first is reducing the cost of borrowing.
 
Each notch higher in the rating reduces interest rates on sovereign loans, freeing up huge sums that can be invested in development projects."
 
The second is "attracting foreign investment.
 
Investors tend to direct their funds toward countries with higher ratings,which could open the door to new capital flows into Iraq."
 
The third axis, according to Abdul Rabbo, is"enhancing confidence in the national economy.
 
A good rating reflects the   government's commitment to its debts and
     conveys a positive image of the stability of the financial system." Abdul Rabbo adds that
 
"forming the national team is a step in the right direction, but he stresses the need for artistic work to be coupled with      real political and economic steps, such as  rationalizing public spending, combating corruption, and     diversifying the economy away from oil."
 
*Politics and economics in one balance
 
Standard & Poor's affirmed Iraq's rating at B-/B with a stable outlook last February.

Despite the country's solid foreign exchange reserves, the agency noted the existence of real risks that could lead to a downgrade, most notably:
"a weak institutional framework and   political uncertainty, a  lack of economic diversification and    overreliance on oil,  security and political risks that make the economic situation unpredictable, and the potential for public finances to be impacted by a sharp or prolonged decline in oil prices."
 
According to the agency's report, any deterioration in the government's ability to manage public debt
or increased budget pressures     could lead to negative rating decisions.
 
*Fiscal deficit and public debt: worrying figures
 
Iraq suffers from a persistent financial deficit in its annual budgets due to the expansion of operating expenses, particularly  salaries for the massive public sector, which consumes the majority of revenues.
 
In light of these burdens, the public debt is rising,
     increasing the risk that the government will be unable to meet its obligations without relying on oil.
 
Economist Abdul Rabbah points out that "inflexible fiscal policies and unplanned expenditures are among the biggest challenges facing Iraq," explaining that  improving its credit rating will not be possible unless these structural imbalances are addressed.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Morning 8-22-25

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

Fed Chair Jerome Powell Faces Delicate Balancing Act in Jackson Hole Speech Today

When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell takes the stage today at the annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming economic forum, he will face mounting pressures—from President Trump’s repeated calls for his resignation to a recent stream of worrying economic data.

Powell, whose term as Fed Chair ends in May 2026, will likely deliver his last major policy speech as head of the central bank. The event, hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, is closely watched because it provides a stage for Fed officials to signal views on the economy and future monetary policy direction.

Focus on Rates at Jackson Hole

• A key issue is whether Powell will hint at the Fed’s next interest rate decision, scheduled for Sept. 17.

• President Trump has pushed the Fed to cut rates, citing solid economic data and muted inflation.

• Powell, however, has emphasized a “wait and see” approach, especially as the Fed evaluates the impact of tariffs on consumer prices.

• Meanwhile, new signals—such as slowing job growth and inflation showing its largest increase in three years—complicate the picture.

Melissa Brown, Managing Director of Investment Decision Research at SimCorp, summed it up:

“You have this political pressure balanced off against the economic pressure, which makes Powell’s job particularly difficult.”

The Fed declined to comment ahead of Powell’s remarks. The Kansas City Fed will livestream the speech Friday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on YouTube.

Will the Fed Cut Rates?

• Powell is expected to avoid confirming whether the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will lower rates in September.

• By design, Fed decisions are kept private until officially announced to avoid market disruption and to maintain independence from political pressure.

• Before the Sept. 16–17 meeting, the Fed will receive two key reports:

• Labor Department jobs report (Sept. 5)

• Consumer Price Index (CPI) (Sept. 11)

Recent political tension has risen after the head of the Labor Statistics Bureau was fired in August, following a sharp slowdown in reported job creation—figures that President Trump openly questioned.

Mike Sanders, Head of Fixed Income at Madison Investments, explained:

“I don’t think Powell can push the narrative toward cutting because that leaves him no option but to cut. He has to signal data-dependence.”

Markets, however, are already betting on a cut. FactSet data shows an 88% chance of a 0.25% rate reduction in September.

Last year at Jackson Hole, Powell hinted at cuts, which materialized the following month with a 0.50% rate reduction.

Dual Mandate, Conflicting Signals

• Powell also faces the Fed’s dual mandate:

• Maximize employment

• Maintain stable prices (inflation control)

• These mandates often conflict:

• Cutting rates may boost job growth but risk higher inflation.

• Holding rates steady may stabilize inflation but slow employment growth.

Economist Will Denyer (Gavekal Research) noted the Fed may face a stagflation risk—a combination of slow growth and rising inflation, considered the “Fed’s nightmare scenario.”

Minutes from the July 30 FOMC meeting reveal that some members still worry supply-chain disruptions could keep inflation elevated, confirming that inflation remains a central concern.

Oxford Economics Chief U.S. Economist Ryan Sweet added:

“The labor market will be the swing factor on whether the Fed cuts interest rates in September or not.”

US House Adds CBDC Ban to Massive Defense Policy Bill

The House has quietly slipped a provision banning the Federal Reserve from issuing a digital currency into an almost 1,300-page defense policy bill, underscoring how the debate over money’s future has become tied to national security legislation.

The move comes through a revision of HR 3838, the House’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), shared Thursday by the House Rules Committee. The language is sweeping: it bans the Federal Reserve from studying, developing, or creating any digital currency.

The House had already passed a separate CBDC-ban bill in July — the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act — by a razor-thin margin of 219–210. But that measure faced a steep uphill battle in the Senate. By inserting the ban into the NDAA, lawmakers have effectively hitched it to must-pass national security funding, increasing its odds of survival.

Why It Matters

The NDAA is among the most critical annual bills in Congress, setting defense budgets and military priorities. It is also notorious as a vehicle for non-defense riders that would otherwise stall if brought as standalone measures. By embedding a CBDC prohibition here, House Republicans have dramatically shifted the battleground.

• House leaders promised the CBDC ban in July as part of a deal with conservative hardliners.

• A group of GOP holdouts had refused to advance three crypto-related bills unless a ban was guaranteed, stalling floor debate for over nine hours — the longest delay in House history.

• The logjam broke only after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise pledged that the ban would be added to the NDAA.

What the Provision Does

The language would:

• Ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC or any digital asset.

• Block the central bank from offering financial products or services directly to individuals.

• Prohibit the Fed from even “testing, studying, developing, creating, or implementing” a digital currency.

• Allow a carve-out for stablecoins, clarifying that the bill does not prohibit “any dollar-denominated currency that is open, permissionless, and private.”

Historical Context

• Republicans have long targeted CBDCs as a threat to financial privacy and state overreach.

• In early 2023, Representative Tom Emmer introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, but it died in the previous Congress.

• Emmer has since reintroduced the bill, framing it as aligned with President Donald Trump’s January executive order prohibiting CBDCs.

With its new place in the NDAA, however, the CBDC ban is no longer a fringe fight — it is now tethered to America’s broader defense and security posture.

CFTC Launches Crypto Sprint With Public Consultation Open Until October 20, 2025

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has opened its latest “crypto sprint,” a major step in advancing President Trump’s digital asset agenda. This initiative, running through October 20, 2025, invites public feedback from industry leaders, investors, and everyday users to help shape the next phase of U.S. crypto market rules.

Working in tandem with the SEC, the sprint underscores a push for stronger federal oversight of spot trading, signaling that digital assets have become a priority at the highest levels of government.

Focus on Spot Market Oversight

Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham announced that the sprint will begin immediately, with a focus on:

• Federal-level trading rules to strengthen spot market oversight.

• Expanded attention to leveraged, margined, and retail trading risks.

• Alignment with the SEC’s “Project Crypto”, in direct response to Trump’s call for U.S. leadership in digital assets.

Calling this the start of a “Golden Age of innovation,” Pham urged the industry to embrace both growth and responsible regulation as central to U.S. competitiveness in global digital finance.

Expanding Oversight Beyond Spot Trading

This is the second CFTC crypto sprint in recent weeks:

• The first focused specifically on spot trading.

• The new phase expands to broader market structure, leverage, and retail-focused products.

Pham emphasized the Commission’s commitment to managing risks without stifling innovation, highlighting coordination with the SEC, the White House, and market stakeholders.

Public Consultation Open Until October 20

Public participation is central to this process. The CFTC is inviting feedback from institutions, builders, and individual investors via its official website. This marks a rare chance for the crypto community to directly shape future U.S. digital asset rules.

Implications for the Market

• Bullish case: Clear rules could legitimize the market, attract institutional money, and accelerate mainstream adoption.

• Bearish case: Overly strict limits on leverage and retail access — combined with regulatory overlap — could suppress innovation and push projects overseas.

Either way, the CFTC’s sprint represents a pivotal moment: the rules that emerge could define the U.S. crypto market for years to come.

Ripple Partners with SBI to Roll Out RLUSD Stablecoin in Japan by Q1 2026

Ripple announced Friday that it will launch its Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin in Japan in partnership with SBI Holdings by the first quarter of 2026. The rollout will be managed through SBI VC Trade, the crypto subsidiary of SBI Holdings.

As of Friday morning, RLUSD holds a market capitalization of $666 million with a 24-hour trading volume of $71 million, according to CoinGecko.

Ripple and SBI’s Strategic Collaboration

Ripple emphasized that Japan is a critical market for the expansion of stablecoin adoption. In the announcement, Tomohiko Kondo, CEO of SBI VC Trade, said:

“SBI Group has been leading the development of the cryptocurrency and blockchain field in Japan. The introduction of RLUSD will not just expand the option of stablecoins in the Japanese market, but is a major step forward in the reliability and convenience of stablecoins in the Japanese market.”

This partnership builds on SBI’s longstanding relationship with Ripple, reinforcing their joint strategy to drive digital asset infrastructure in Asia.

RLUSD: Backed and Growing

• Launched in December 2024.

• Backed 1:1 by reserves that include:

• U.S. dollar deposits

• Short-term U.S. government bonds

• Other cash equivalents

The stablecoin market overall has seen sharp growth, with the supply of USD-pegged stablecoins hitting $266 billion as of Thursday, up from $256 billion on August 1, according to The Block’s data dashboard.

Expanding Global Reach

Ripple has been positioning RLUSD as a global payments rail:

• In June 2025, the Dubai Financial Services Authority approved RLUSD for use within the Dubai International Financial Centre, broadening its international footprint.

• The upcoming Japan launch marks another step in Ripple’s ambition to position RLUSD as a reliable, institution-friendly stablecoin in both regional and global markets.

Conclusion

Ripple’s Japan expansion with SBI Holdings demonstrates how stablecoins are moving beyond U.S. markets into regulated, high-demand regions. With Japan’s openness to blockchain innovation and SBI’s leadership role in fintech adoption, the partnership could become a model for stablecoin integration across Asia.
