Tishwash:  Kurdish Life in Nashville; A small Kurdistan in the heart of America

Nashville, Tennessee, has been home to a large Kurdish population since the reception of Kurdish refugees in the 1980s. It is known as a small Kurdistan in the heart of the United States.

Two years after the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRG) was named the sister city of Nashville, the presence of the Kurdish community in the city has become more pronounced. From Kurdish restaurants and markets to Kurdish festivals, cultural events and sports programs, Nashville has become a symbol of the Kurdish diaspora in the United States.

The “A Country in Our Hearts” podcast, recently broadcast by local radio (WPLN), attempts to make a connection between the past and present of the Kurdish community in Nashville by looking at the stories of Kurdish immigrants. "The choice of this topic reflects the fact that Kurds have been forced to migrate to other countries, especially the United States and Europe, in recent decades, and this idea is the point of contact between the various fronts of Kurdish immigrants who have started a new life in Nashville.

According to Gilbert, a significant part of that history dates back to the 1980s; When the Anfal operations ordered by Saddam Hussein led to the massacre and cleansing of the Kurdish people in northern Iraq, the destruction of thousands of villages and hundreds of thousands of Kurdish refugees. Most Kurdish families, including Nash Chalka, whose father was a Peshmerga, have finally arrived in the United States after years of fleeing and hiding in temporary shelters.

By 2025, refugee housing plans will continue to be suspended and the US political climate will accept fewer immigrants than in the past. This issue has become especially difficult after a massive wave of Kurdish immigrants, especially Kurds from Turkey, across the Mexican border to the United States. Because unlike the first front of Iraqi Kurdish immigrants who entered the United States through organized programs, this new group faces a complex legal process and strict legal and social measures.

This gap between two immigrant experiences shows that Nashville's “Little Kurdistan” is not just a historical immigrant narrative, but has now become a meeting place of two opposing realities: the memory of displacement in the 1980s and the challenges of asylum in the United States today.

Thus, Kurdish society in Nashvik has been able to establish a stable identity by preserving their traditions and ceremonies. The celebration of Newroz, which has been held in the city since 1994, is a clear example of this cultural resistance. The lighting of the symbolic bonfire and the gathering of thousands of people not only mark the beginning of the New Year, but also a symbol of resistance and hope for a society that has turned its painful history into an opportunity for revival.

In this sense, Nashville's “Little Kurdistan” is higher than an immigrant neighborhood, and its Kurds reflect the broader challenges of US immigration policy and the role of the diaspora in redefining identities in a new country. The Kurdish experience in Nashville shows how Washington's political decisions, from Saddam's Anfal to the restriction of access to refugees, directly affect the fate of displaced people and the future of their fronts in the United States  link

Tishwash:  Digital banks and financial inclusion

Today, Iraq is witnessing the launch of a new era of banking services, shifting toward digital services in line with the global trend toward digitization and the abandonment of traditional services.

This sound approach is not just about smart applications and digital platforms, but rather represents the launch of an ambitious vision for a more comprehensive and efficient financial future.

The traditional banking sector has always been the cornerstone of economies, but for years it has been confined by walls of branches and long bureaucratic wires, which has prevented it from reaching broad segments of society. Obtaining a bank account or a simple loan is an arduous journey, especially in remote areas. Here, the... 

The importance of the real revolution of digital banks.

The technology has matured, becoming more secure and safe than ever before thanks to advanced encryption and biometrics. Consumer confidence has matured, as consumers have learned how to manage their daily affairs through their smartphones. More importantly, the urgent need to popularize the concept of the financial citizen, who has the right to save, invest, transfer, and finance with ease and transparency, has matured.

A digital bank, then, is not a luxury, but a strategic necessity. It is the bridge that will allow millions of the "unbanked" to cross into a world of economic opportunity that once seemed out of reach. It is the means by which the small shopkeeper, the woman working from home, the ambitious young man, and the elderly man in a remote village will be brought under the umbrella of the formal financial system. These are not just transactions; they are true empowerment.

Hence the importance of digital banks in achieving financial inclusion. 

Digital banks are distinguished by their absence of the huge operating costs of traditional branches. Digital banks can offer their services at highly competitive prices, lower fees, and higher returns on savings, benefiting all customers, especially those with limited income.

The launch of these banks is a clear message of confidence in our economy, our technological capabilities, and our future. It is a declaration that we believe in all our citizens and strive to provide every individual with the tools they need to be an effective part of the economic fabric.

This is not the end of banking as we know it. Rather, it is a new birth—smarter, faster, and closer to the pulse of the people. The financial future begins today, with the push of a button, the touch of a screen. Let us all be the ones who make it happen.

Today comes the Central Bank's step 

 The launch of e-wallets is a fundamental prerequisite and an important path to launching digital banks in Iraq. This approach forms part of a broader strategy for digital transformation in the Iraqi banking and financial sector. This step—and I mean the launch of the e-wallet—can be considered

Preparing the digital infrastructure and developing the payment and financial transfer system in Iraq. These wallets serve as a technical and operational foundation for building integrated digital banking services.

• By enabling transfers between e-wallets and merchants, the Central Bank facilitates the transition to cashless transactions, a necessary step for digital banks that rely entirely on electronic services. This will contribute to enhancing digital financial literacy.

Having secure e-wallet systems in place also makes it easier for future digital banks to comply with regulatory standards without having to build systems from scratch. 

All these efforts coincide with the banking sector reform plan launched by the Central Bank, which focuses on enhancing financial inclusion and digital transformation. link

A New Financial Order? Why the BIS is Quietly Expanding Now

A New Financial Order? Why the BIS is Quietly Expanding Now

Miles Harris:   9-10-2025

In the bustling narratives of global finance, we often focus on the obvious players: central banks, major economies, technological disruptors.

But lurking quietly, yet growing monumentally, is an institution that might just be the most significant architect of our financial future: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

As global financial trust fractures amid rising geopolitical tensions, the erosion of dollar dominance, and the advent of digital currencies, the BIS is not just holding the line; it’s actively building the infrastructure for a new era.

And its symbolic new tower stretching skyward in Basel, Switzerland? That’s more than just bricks and mortar – it’s a monument to a burgeoning global role.

Often dubbed the “central bank of central banks,” the BIS is an institution many have never heard of, yet it coordinates the actions of 63 central banks, representing a staggering 95% of global GDP. Think of it as the ultimate neutral ground, where the world’s monetary authorities converge to discuss, coordinate, and innovate on monetary policy, financial regulation, and the technology that underpins it all.

Miles Harris’s insightful video brings this overlooked giant into sharp focus, revealing how the BIS is positioning itself as the indispensable coordinator for central banks worldwide at a time when that coordination is more critical than ever.

The physical expansion – that impressive new tower – isn’t just about more office space. It’s a tangible reflection of the increasing complexity and demands of global financial governance. Imagine grappling with high inflation, unprecedented financial volatility, and the seismic shifts of de-dollarization pressures. That’s the BIS’s daily brief.

These aren’t theoretical exercises; they require specialized legal, technical, and policy teams working tirelessly to shape the financial rails of tomorrow. Beyond digital cash, the BIS’s foundational Basel Committee is also expanding its regulatory purview dramatically, moving from traditional banking oversight into uncharted territories like climate risk, crypto regulation, and even the ethical deployment of AI in banking.

In a world increasingly fragmented by geopolitical tensions between East and West, the BIS’s role as a neutral platform becomes even more critical. It’s the meeting point where diverging financial infrastructures can still find common ground, enabling crucial integration without overt political alignment.

And speaking of integration, consider the $200 billion-plus in foreign reserves the BIS manages for central banks. As countries look to diversify away from U.S. Treasuries, the BIS is increasingly handling asset management that includes shifts towards gold, the Chinese yuan, and other alternative assets.

This quiet rebalancing act underscores profound shifts in global financial power.

What truly sets the BIS apart now is its emerging role in consolidating monetary governance. We’re talking about a shift of influence away from traditional multilateral institutions like the IMF or the UN, towards a model centralized among central banks themselves.

 The BIS is actively developing infrastructure for real-time cross-border transactions using Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which could potentially bypass traditional intermediaries like SWIFT. This isn’t just about speed; it’s about fundamentally reshaping monetary sovereignty and global trade.

And here’s a fascinating paradox: while official policy rhetoric often downplays gold’s monetary role, its resurgence, particularly among BRICS+ nations, signals a quiet repositioning of the metal as a monetary safeguard outside direct regulatory frameworks.

 This divergence between public statements and central bank actions is a crucial trend the BIS is navigating, subtly incorporating it into a broader, more diversified monetary landscape.

Ultimately, the BIS is not just reacting to change; it’s actively crafting a multipolar, programmable monetary ecosystem. This future promises shared protocols and technological standards, with the BIS firmly at its core.

The goal? To maintain centralized control and stability, even under the appearance of cooperation and pluralism. The new BIS Tower stands tall, not merely as an office building, but as a silent monument to this new era – a future where no single currency dominates, but where stability and control are preserved through sophisticated, centralized coordination.

The story of the BIS is a complex, pivotal one, and understanding its trajectory is essential for anyone interested in the future of money.

For a deeper dive into these intricate developments, I highly recommend watching the full video from Miles Harris. It’s an eye-opening exploration into the institution that’s quietly building the financial bridges of tomorrow.

50 Habits That Will Prepare You for a Comfortable Retirement

50 Habits That Will Prepare You for a Comfortable Retirement

Lydia Kibet   Wed, September 10, 2025   GOBankingRates

A comfortable retirement isn’t built overnight and it doesn’t require a six-figure salary. What makes the difference are the small habits you build over time. Whether you’re in your 20s or 50s the right habits will help you build the kind of retirement you want.

The 50 habits below will set you up for a comfortable retirement.

Saving and Investing

1. Start saving and investing early. Time is your greatest asset. The earlier you start, the more time your savings and investments have to grow.

2. Automate your finances. Set up automatic transfers to your savings, investing and retirement accounts.

3. Build an emergency fund. Save at least three to six months’ worth of living expenses to avoid tapping into your retirement accounts during emergencies.

4. Take advantage of employer 401(k) match. This is free money. Always contribute enough to your 401(k) to get the full employer match.

5. Contribute to an IRA. Use a traditional IRA or Roth IRA to grow your retirement savings tax-efficiently.

6. Diversify your investments. Don’t invest in one asset class. Spread your money across stocks, index funds, ETFs and bonds to reduce risk.

7. Invest consistently. Use dollar cost averaging to invest consistently regardless of where the market goes.

8. Rebalance your portfolio regularly. Review your portfolio year and adjust asset classes based on your risk tolerance and goals.

9. Understand your risk tolerance. Pick investments that align with your risk appetite.

10. Avoid emotional investing. Stick to your plan despite the market swings.

11. Increase your retirement contributions annually.

12. Don’t panic during market downturns. Don’t panic sell your investments when the market is going down.

13. Stay invested long-term. Time in the market beats timing the market.

4. Shop for insurance annually. Compare rates for auto, home and health insurance to ensure that you’re getting the best rates.

15. Use catch-up contributions. Contribute more to your retirement accounts once you hit the age of 50.

16. Avoid early withdrawals. Don’t tap into your retirement accounts unless it’s an emergency that deserves the withdrawal penalty.

17. Harvest tax losses. Strategically realize losses to offset gains and reduce current tax liability

How Happy Couples Handle Money — Even When They Disagree

How Happy Couples Handle Money — Even When They Disagree

September 4, 2025  Top 100 Money Experts

What’s the best way to manage money with a partner? 

You’re sitting at the breakfast table with your partner. Gazing into their eyes, you think about how much you love them, how much they — to quote “Jerry Maguire” — “complete you,” and how fortunate you are to have them.

Just as you’re about to fall even deeper in love, they open their mouth to tell you they might have, ahem, put a little more on the credit card than they planned. Or perhaps to chide you for not taking your employer match on your 401(k).  

Ah, love. Ain’t it grand? It still can be — even if your money habits clash — when you learn how to balance different financial styles. That process might sound complex and uncomfortable, but according to Emma Johnson, founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and author of “The 50/50 Solution” and “The Kickass Single Mom,” it starts with something simple: listening to each other.  

GOBankingRates caught up with Johnson to get her take on how happy couples can stay happy couples when it comes to managing money together.

YOU TUBE VIDEO:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqyl46S4HvM&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gobankingrates.com%2F&source_ve_path=OTY3MTQ 

Respect Each Other’s Financial Independence  

One of Johnson’s first pieces of advice is to recognize that you and your partner are, well, your own people. You each had fully formed identities and managed your own money before you got together. Acting like a parent or boss with your partner’s finances can only breed resentment.

Each partner needs some financial autonomy – money you can spend without checking in first,” Johnson said. “You’re both adults.” 

Therapists back this up. Given how often couples argue over money, it’s not surprising that services like Ascencion Counseling include financial advice right on their websites. To keep your financial independence while managing joint responsibilities, you and your partner need to communicate and plan together.

One common approach is to open a joint account for major shared expenses like rent, utilities and groceries, while keeping separate accounts for personal spending. Once you agree on how much each of you will contribute — ideally based on income rather than splitting everything 50/50 — you can still maintain individual control over your own separate accounts.  

This kind of setup gives each partner more confidence in their financial abilities while also minimizing potential resentment. That’s a win-win.

Ariel: Acceleration of Dinar Revaluation

Ariel: Acceleration of Dinar Revaluation

9-10-2025

ACCELERATION OF DINAR REVALUATION

The CBI could announce an emergency imminent rate, following the strike (e.g., September 12-15), using a 48-hour bank closure to update ATMs and SWIFT codes to a 1:1 or 3:1 rate or more, backed by gold ($17.4 billion) and reserves.

Capital controls ($5,000 withdrawal limits) would curb speculation, while $200 billion in FDI driven by U.S. trade deals (March 2025) would flood in, mirroring Vietnam’s 2007 surge.

This rapid shift bypasses delays like Powell’s tenure or gold revaluation, as Trump’s strategy hinges on immediate economic leverage.

The assault’s shock value, neutralizing Iran’s loyalists, would force Iraq to act, fulfilling global dinar holders’ expectations and repositioning Iraq as a financial hub.

This aligns with Bukele’s warnings of accelerated change, outpacing traditional timelines. I will go into detail as to why it is not feasible for a country like Iraq to have a weak currency during this type of turmoil that can target their oil which they are currently reliant upon for exports.

Listen, 1:1 is the basis and IMF approved years ago. Because the lowest they can come out with is .76 cents and float it from there.

You will have to watch the markets and go from there as to how you will decide to proceed. Iraq is just the start gun for me.

I hold other currencies so I can afford to wait as I make way more than your average person every month so my priorities are different from yours or those who are facing financial challenges.

So I understand the immediate concern once it goes for most people.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-9-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-9-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is Tuesday, September 9th and you're listening to the big call. thanks for joining us again on the big call where we hope we have a lot of good information to give you, and we know we have great stuff coming from Sue and from Bob, and hopefully from me as well.

So let's get into our little Intel segment. We've got a few things to bring up. First of all, I'm always reminded about, where do we stand on Social Security? DOGE, the what do you call it? The tariff dividends, etc.

Well, we did get something yesterday, which I think is very good from our Social Security contacts. And they said that Social Security increases are locked in place for the month of September.

Now I know you guys that get your social security on the first Wednesday the third did not get your increase, and tomorrow is the second week on the 10th I don't know if you're going to get it or not, but I've been told the increase itself is locked in, which means sometime in the month of September, the increase should show up. Okay.

 Now, as far as Doge and the  $150 trillion that's supposed to be part of the dividends of the tariffs, tariff dividends and so on. I don't know the latest on that. We were told a while ago that we should get that also in the month of September, but we'll have to wait and see if that's what happens. Okay. The other thing is, I’m thinking of the or whatever else I wanted to mention.

Well, Sue covered it very nicely about the idea of the experience of going into the redemption centers and what we should come out with, remember, you'll come out with your credit debit card, which will give you the opportunity to do either credit or debit.

You'll come out with a with a quantum card that's attached to your quantum account. This is what I wanted to say about that. If you're a married couple going in to do your exchange together, which is recommended, one of the two of you will actually do the biometric fingerprint or thumb print, and all of the other Parts of it, which are the new username, new password, the five digit PIN code, if you will, and the new email and new password for the email, all of that, those little six steps are What you need to do to access your quantum account using your quantum card.

Now, only one of the two of you can do that if you're married and you go in as a couple, so just decide which of the two you want to be the one to do it, and the other person, of course, will have signing privileges on bank accounts and everything --  the only thing --  remember, the quantum card is only used for one purpose, to move money from the quantum account into one or more of your bank accounts.

 So if you go into your Chase and go into your wells and go into your trust account, whatever, however you set it up, and that would be what it's used for. And remember for the first 60 days, they want us to put an amount from our quantum into a master account. I call it masterwork. Call it a primary account with Wells --  put an amount in there that you think you'll need for the first two or three months, and then after they see how you spend it, making sure that you don't do something wrong with it.

And then when that, when that happens, they will watch you make sure. The Quantum account will watch to see how you spend. It Simple as that, the QFs, the quantum financial system will monitor all transactions.  That's okay. If we're not doing anything wrong, it's not a big deal.

Now, after 15 days, you can move a much larger  for whatever you want to move into primary or secondary bank accounts.

Okay, so that's and if you haven't trust already. You should put your exchange in the trust so that you're covered and it's considered private, obviously, and you have your trustees, and you have your successor trustees, should something unfortunate happen to the primary trustees, and you've got your beneficiaries and all of that stuff, right, and successor beneficiaries, possibly.

So all of that, if you've got it set up, is good to go. If you don't have a trust, they would like for you to have one made through your attorney, whatever attorney you want to choose, state planning attorney, trust attorney, and if you don't have one, or don't know of one, they can help you to get one, and they want you to have a trust in place within the first 30 days of your exchange. Okay? They want it done.

And some of us have it done already. If you've got LLCs already set up, I've got my LLC, so I need to modify one or maybe two of them to reflect the change that I want to make in the name of the LLC and put and I'm going to put four different accounts together that would be sub accounts underneath the primary account. They'd be secondary, each one in the name of an LLC.

Okay, so you need to get with an estate planning attorney fairly soon. If you don't have one yet, if you don't have one and don't have a trust yet.

They really way to go. We haven't talked a lot about trust, about the mechanics of it, but it's something that you should get with a professional on. Okay, now that takes care of that aspect of it. The other thinking is we are very close to getting notified.

I don't have an exact day that I think it would come  but I have an “opinion” - and I’ll tell you why -- you guys have heard the term disclosure. You've heard that we will be getting some disclosure on certain things that have happened in our history to get the truth brought out. Well, guess what Thursday's date is?  9/11

Do you think there might be a possibility that we will receive an emergency alert  system and an Emergency Broadcast System notice and broadcast on 9/11 ?   I think it’s very likely that will be brought out about what really happened on 911 and several other things like the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City that blew up that whole thing.

I think also we could get something about the excellent Valdez oil spill. I think we could get something about the BP oil spill in the Gulf, and we should get another piece of disclosure,  - it might take 2 – 3 - 4, days, I've been told  we could get five days of disclosure that could start on Thursday the 11th of September, 9/11 - Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. That's five days. We'll see. Just keep that in mind now. What about where we are right now I've not been contacted. I do not yet have an 800 number to put out  

I think that could  change in the next day or so, and based on the idea of the possibility of the Emergency Broadcast System on Thursday, we could very well get started, I think on Thursday. Now I don't have that absolutely -- I'm hearing some things that are making me go in that direction.

That's all. I may be wrong.  If I’m wrong – I’m wrong -- But I feel  it is coming to that conclusion 

So, what do you do the meantime?   Do what Sue suggested - about  getting your paperwork, your files and all of that lined out. Make sure your currency is lined out ready to go. You've got it organized by country and currency of that country. You've got it set up by denominations, meaning the value of each note, from highest to lowest, or lowest to highest.

You've got it set up where they just feed it right into the Delarue machine and identify it, verify it, count it, all of that. And what I would suggest is that you get ready for the med beds that are coming out and that are there. They're waiting for us.

We've got to get the exchange done first before we have access. And they're going to give people with dire act dire needs and Zim holders first priority. So if you have Zim and you've got medical needs and other things like that, you'll get in a little sooner. You want to let them know if that's the case.

All right, one other thing before I do another med bed, because I don't want to forget this --  I found out today, even though we've talked about the contract rate at the redemption center on the dinar, the Iraqi dinar, - by the way --  I don't think, Since this is Tuesday, we didn't have this  --

On Saturday -- The Iraqi dinar was finally published in the Gazette - their official publication, and it becomes law when something is published in the Gazette, they had the Dinar in the Gazette, since it was public, and you could theoretically find it, it was at $3.91 at that time.

Now it's going up, and it's already traded up significantly since then, since Saturday and I've got raised. I'm not going to say, pay what they are, but they're higher. I gotta go even higher. Remember what Dr sino Al shabibi said back in 2012 at the US Chamber of Commerce Meeting?  He said he believed when asked by  Blue Star. What value to the US dollar did he believe the Iraqi dinar could support?

Dr Shadi said, I believe the Iraqi DINAR will support a rate of about $16 -- Now that's a killer rate. It's not at 16 yet, but realize it could very well be on our way, and it would not surprise me at all at the redemption centers, NOT AT THE BANKS - but at the redemption center, you could see a rate easily on the front screen of that amount $16.

Now we're not here to do rates, but I will say this, the contract rate on the dinar is only available at the redemption center. NOT available at the bank - can't get it there. It's going to be substantially higher -  but you have dinar, you need to call the 800 number, set up an appointment and go give and especially if you have zim, nobody else will be doing the same except the redemption centers period.

So the contract rate on the dinar was officially agreed upon, already by President Trump and by the well, let's just say the prime minister of Iraq and the head of the CBI, Alok, Dr Alok. And so I think it's, it is a lock. It's locked in, and it's a very good rate, and it does not appear to be contingent on the per barrel price of oil selling from Iraq because it's already agreed upon – it’s contracted.

And I finally got that through my head today, I wanted to share that with you guys bring up  -- anybody that has dinar. I um, so Med beds are available for us very soon after we exchange, and you should have a list of your SIX people that you recommend or that you're referring to go into the Med bed when you go in, to give them that list.

When you go into the Med bed center, we're calling them the Med bed center. When you go in there, get that list of six name and phone numbers we have address or email that they don't have to I'm just working off my contact list and doing that on from my phone.

Right away after you exchange, you can get in there five or six days for most people with a dire need, maybe a little sooner. But I think they want Zim holders and dire need in first, right away. They want us to live a long time to see our projects come to fruition .

Keep an eye out between now and Thursday. And you know, we expect to have a call Thursday night. Maybe it'll be a celebration call. Who knows, but be prepared for it, and I just look for to it as much as you guys do. Okay, so let's, let's do this. Let's thank everybody.

Thanks Sue for doing a marvelous job on the teaching and on bringing the prayer requests praise reports out, and everything else he does for me and for us on the big call. And thank you Bob for a wonderful job with boomers.

So I'm excited about I'm going to say towards the end of the week, let's see where it goes. Let's thank big call universe for you guys listening to us on the big call for the last 14 years. All right, so thank you everybody. Let's go ahead and pray the call out, and we'll turn off the recording.    We look forward to great things on Thursday or by Thursday

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Finds Its Voice: India’s Gold Shift, China’s Bold Vision, and the Bloc’s Balancing Act
As Trump’s tariffs weigh on global trade, BRICS leaders search for new strategies to safeguard growth, stability, and independence.

Caution at the Virtual Summit
At the latest BRICS virtual meeting, leaders from across the 10-member alliance presented a unified, but cautious, front. Hosted by Brazil’s President Lula da Silva, the summit highlighted the challenges of navigating escalating U.S. tariffs while preserving economic stability.

• The bloc criticized U.S. trade policy but avoided direct confrontation with Trump.

• India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, standing in for Prime Minister Modi, struck a balanced tone: “Increasing barriers and complicating transactions will not help, neither would the linking of trade measures to non-trade matters.”

• Notably absent were discussions on de-dollarization or the launch of a common BRICS currency, signaling that the alliance is still proceeding carefully.

In short, the summit revealed a defensive posture: BRICS wants stability, but is not yet ready to escalate against Washington.

India’s Pivot to Gold and Away From Treasuries
Behind the diplomatic caution, however, actions speak louder than words. India has quietly reduced its U.S. Treasury holdings by $8 billion in just two months, while stepping up its gold reserves to a record 880 metric tons.

Economists see the move as part of a broader trend across emerging markets: a strategic diversification away from the U.S. dollar.

• Gold is viewed as a hedge against asset freezes like those imposed on Russia in 2022.

• India’s finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman described the pivot as a “considered decision” to protect reserves amid rising geopolitical uncertainty.

• With U.S. deficits widening, sustained selling of Treasuries by BRICS members could eventually raise borrowing costs for Washington.

This quiet shift underscores how trade tensions are translating into monetary realignment.

Xi Jinping’s Strategic Playbook
China, meanwhile, is steering BRICS toward a more assertive global role. At the summit, President Xi Jinping laid out three moves designed to shake global markets and strengthen the bloc:

1. Defend Multilateralism & Reform Global Governance – Xi called for reforms that would give the Global South greater influence in shaping international financial and trade rules.

2. Back Open Trade, Resist Protectionism – By defending WTO principles, Xi positioned BRICS as a counterweight to tariff-heavy U.S. policy.

3. Strengthen Intra-BRICS Cooperation – Xi highlighted technology, infrastructure, and finance as key areas for deeper South-South integration, tying them to China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

For investors, these proposals suggest a future where capital and trade flows increasingly bypass Western systems, tilting toward intra-BRICS networks.

Why This Matters
Individually, the summit’s cautious diplomacy, India’s gold pivot, and China’s vision may seem incremental. But together, they signal a subtle yet profound shift:

• BRICS is building resilience against U.S. economic pressure.

• Reserve diversification is quietly reducing reliance on the dollar.

• China is setting the stage for BRICS to evolve from a defensive bloc into a proactive global economic force.

As the group finds its voice, the message is clear: BRICS is no longer content to be a passive participant in a U.S.-led order. The next phase will test whether words turn into coordinated action — and how global markets adapt to a more multipolar financial system.

$1.3T CRE MELTDOWN Sparks Bank Crisis the Fed Can’t Contain

$1.3T CRE MELTDOWN Sparks Bank Crisis the Fed Can’t Contain

Taylor Kenny:  9-9-2025

Commercial real estate is about to detonate and your bank might not survive the next shock.

With legal bank bail-ins on the table, this breakdown shows you how your savings could be seized to save a failing bank.

Are US banks truly stable? Or are we standing on the precipice of another financial tremor, one quietly building beneath a veneer of calm? A recent video from ITM Trading featuring Taylor Kenney sheds a stark light on the hidden fragilities within the American banking system, pointing to a looming crisis that could reshape our financial landscape.

According to Kenney, a dangerous confluence of factors – a shrinking Federal Reserve balance sheet, massive Treasury debt issuance, and banks holding razor-thin reserves – has left the system acutely vulnerable. But the immediate, glaring threat? Commercial Real Estate (CRE).

Imagine a massive debt wall, approximately $1 to $1.3 trillion in CRE loans, all maturing this year. These weren’t just any loans; they were often financed at historically low-interest rates, think 2-3%. Now, these same borrowers face refinancing at double, even triple, those rates. This isn’t just an inconvenience; for many, it’s an unsustainable financial burden.

Compounding this, the demand for office space and commercial properties is shrinking. Vacancy rates are on the rise as businesses continue to downsize and adapt to new work models. It’s a perfect storm: dwindling income potential meeting skyrocketing debt costs.

The data is already alarming. Delinquency rates on commercial real estate loans have now surpassed those seen during the 2008 financial crisis. Office delinquency rates, in particular, have hit a record high of 11.7%.

But even these figures might not tell the whole story. Banks, in an attempt to maintain an illusion of stability, are widely employing “extend and pretend” tactics.

This means delaying the official recognition of defaults by temporarily extending payment terms, without actually addressing the underlying financial woes of the borrowers. It’s a deferral, not a solution, and it masks the true extent of the problem.

The Federal Reserve has developed tools to manage these crises, often designed to quietly support banks without the public spectacle of large-scale bailouts.

The Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP): This allowed banks to borrow against assets at inflated values, essentially providing a temporary lifeline.

The Reverse Repo Facility (RRP): Once a robust liquidity buffer holding over $2.5 trillion, the RRP allowed institutions to park cash overnight with the Fed for interest. This acted as a critical backstop for the banking system.

However, the RRP has recently shrunk to near zero. Why? The Treasury’s issuance of record amounts of short-term debt offers higher yields, attracting money market funds away from the RRP. This means a crucial liquidity buffer, a safety net for banks, is rapidly drying up, leaving the system even more exposed.

The Fed’s tools, while seemingly effective, maintain an illusion of stability that masks growing systemic risks.

The risk isn’t concentrated in a few big banks. Community and regional banks hold the majority of these vulnerable CRE loans. Furthermore, government-backed entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac hold over half of all multifamily loans, increasing federal exposure.

This widespread risk means any government intervention to stabilize the sector will likely be a stealth bailout, ultimately paid for by taxpayers, further devaluing the dollar.

But beyond bailouts, there’s an even more direct and chilling concern for individual savers: “bail-ins.”

Bail-ins involve the government or regulators seizing depositors’ funds to recapitalize failing banks, rather than relying on taxpayer money.

This mechanism is legal in the US and has already occurred on a small scale. It represents a direct threat to your individual savings and assets, effectively forcing you, the depositor, to rescue the banking system.

Taylor Kenney’s analysis suggests a fundamental truth: the current financial system prioritizes protecting itself over individual savers. In a world where your bank deposits can be seized in a bail-in, and your currency devalued through inflation and stealth bailouts, true wealth preservation requires stepping outside the traditional banking system.

The solution advocated is clear: physical gold and silver. These precious metals are “real money” that cannot be seized, devalued through inflation by central banks, or controlled by the traditional banking system. They offer a tangible, enduring hedge against systemic financial instability.

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: Gooood morning Mark, Andy , mods and fellow Patriots!

Member: How about 9-11 for a rv date, and it's on a Thursday

Member: Charlie Ward always liked Thursdays

MZ: Many believe 9-11 may be the date. Just remember no one knows the exact date.

Member: I’m still thinking pretty positively about this week/weekend…so many rumors!!!

Member: Remember the new fiscal year for the US and others happens on Oct. 1st….

Member: Good morning, Mark. What are your thoughts on it being completed by the end of the month?

MZ: I still think its very possible.

MZ: From the bond side its still exceptionally quiet

Member If they are under NDA’s- they have to be quiet….this is good

Member: What else does Iraq need to do so they can RV their currency?

MZ: “Uncertainty grows in Iraq over who will replace US troops after withdrawal from key bases”  Again- we were told our troops would leave when we got paid. They are leaving…so imo…there is much to watch right now.

MZ: “2027: electricity in Iraq is cut off or will they reach stability?”  It is going to reach stability. They are looking to have a first class electrical system ready by 2027. They have already made enormous progress.

Member: If they revalue the dinar…..they can pay for all the electricity they want…..imo

Member: I wonder with the Dinar going digital and the financial world turning upside down. What is the flip of the switch moment?

MZ: “Specialists: Decline in confidence in the dollar ignites gold prices” This is a good one to talk over with Andy today. Many Iraqi citizens and citizens worldwide  are holding physical gold.

MZ: this is a big one. “Rewrite the rules: $37 Trillion US debt sparks wild crypto and gold reset theory as bitcoin price soars.” We saw the video from the Economic Times as this Putin aide dropped this shocker that the plan is to write off the debt and devalue the US dollar using crypto/stablecoins to back it in gold. There it is- right out there in the open. Everything we have been talking about it our reset.l

MZ: Forbes is now reporting it as well. “US conspiring to dump debt into crypto-Putin aide drops shocker on US 37T debt”

Member: Andy and Zester has been telling us and showing us this long before the big boys and other economists did.

Member: I do not think we will see anything on the RV/reset until we go gold backed, that is just my opinion!! It makes sense to me

Member: Food for thought- Nesara Gesara was supposed to happen in that day 9/11 over 20 years ago…..maybe this year it will finally happen?

Member: I've talked to my bank manager and we have already discussed how my bank and me will handle things

MZ: I’m glad you found someone open minded and willing to talk about it.

Member: Anything new on rates…

MZ: I havn’t heard anything new on dong rates. 2 weeks ago I had a great contact tell me I have been off on rates …too low. Some believe the rate could be up to $7.90 on the dinar and maybe $5 on dong. I hope that is accurate.

MZ: Those rates would play into this one “Rewrite the rules: $37 Trillion US debt sparks wild crypto and gold reset theory as bitcoin price soars.”  And the devaluation of the dollar to make it work. That would make sense. If so, I would not be surprised if they were right.

Member: My things to do this week... 1- rv, 2- buy house...Hopefully

 Member: Have a great day to everyone. Thanks to all who keep us encouraged

Member: May God bless and keep everyone safe and healthy today.

Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Wed. 10 September 2025

Compiled Wed. 10 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Tues. 9 Sept. 2025: A NEW DAWN — WHEN MONEY BECOMES FREEDOM

For most of your life, money has meant control. Control over where you live, What you eat, How much time you can spend with your loved ones, Whether you can rest when you’re sick, or even retire at all. Control that was never truly yours — no matter how hard you worked.

Behind every loan, every bank transfer, every “approval” there were silent systems designed not to help you, but to trap you in debt without dignity, labor without liberation, movement without meaning.

But here’s what they don’t want you to realize: That system is already breaking. And what’s replacing it will feel like breathing clean air for the first time.

What’s coming.

In Iceland, a cooperative digital wallet program now allows citizens to exchange services without using central banks. A neighbor can trade energy credits for groceries. Teachers are paid directly by the community for tutoring. No banks. No middlemen. It runs outside the fiat grid — but within a moral one.

In Ghana, rural farmers are now paid in blockchain-backed tokens — with stable value, backed by real goods, not manipulated by war or inflation. They no longer rely on banks. They rely on a field… and a phone.

In South Korea, programmable vouchers are being tested by retailers — tokens that can be used only on essentials, removing waste, corruption, and gate keeping. This is public service without bureaucracy. It’s early. But it’s real.

~~~~~~~~~~

What the World Will Look Like After NESARA. The shift won’t just be financial. It will be emotional, social, and deeply human. Here’s what it may soon look like — quietly, and then all at once:

Debts canceled, not refinanced

Basic income, not universal welfare

Affordable homes, not inflated mortgages

Health care access, not insurance bureaucracy

Time freedom, not life behind a clock

No hidden taxes, no invisible fees

Assets on your device, not locked in a vault

Local trade, global reach — no borders between you and value

True wealth, measured by impact, not credit scores

~~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 9 Sept. 2025: GLOBAL CURRENCY RESET EXPOSED — PRECIOUS METALS & QUANTUM FINANCE IGNITE A DINAR AND DONG EXPLOSION! TRUMP’S MASTERPLAN UNVEILED: THE FUTURE OF WEALTH IS HERE! – amg-news.com – American Media Group Trump exposes plan to eliminate the IRS, collect taxes through tariffs. Trump just declared TOTAL WAR on the IRS! A plan to replace federal income tax with tariffs and restore America’s pre-1913 prosperity. The IRS is DONE — and the American people finally WIN.

~~~~~~~~~~

Global Currency Reset:

Tues. 9 Sept. 2025 Bruce The Big Call:

SS contacts say SS increases are locked in place for September.

DOGE payments, tariff dividends should also come in the month of September.

You will receive a Quantum Card and Credit Debit cards

If married couples go in together, one of you will be given the steps to access your Quantum Account. That account is only used to move monies into your bank accounts. The other partner will have access to the other bank accounts.

You can move one amount of monies out of your Quantum Account to the master account for the first 60 days. After they see how you spend it and that is ok, you will have no limit on what you can move.

If you don’t have a trust, they would like you to set up one within the first 30 days of your exchange.

We are close to getting notified. Bruce’s opinion is that we will receive a EBS notice on Thurs. 9-11.

We could get five days of disclosure that start on Thurs. 11 Sept.

Frank26  I don't see the exchange rate I want yet, but I know what it's doing...I believe it's going to be maybe starting at about $1.15 to maybe $3.22 and then it's going to float to about maybe $4.25 when they finally cap it.  I know you're looking for $6.00 but that's too much.  This is of course simply my opinion of the float...

Nader From The Mid East   When they come and tell you it's going to happen this week or this month or this day, nobody knows the date...and nobody will know how much either.  They can guess but nobody know the price.  I think $3.22...I think $3.22 is fair.

‘US conspiring to dump debt into crypto, then…’: Putin aide drops shocker on America's $35T debt

The Economic Times:  9-10-2025

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s senior adviser, Anton Kobyakov, alleged that the United States may be attempting to offload its $35 trillion national debt by using cryptocurrencies and gold, a move he claims could rewrite the rules of the global financial system.

 Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Kobyakov suggested that Washington could convert part of its massive debt into stablecoins, effectively 'starting from scratch' while addressing declining trust in the US dollar.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Morning 9-10-25

Good morning Dinar Recaps,

US Senate Democrats Offer Competing Framework for Crypto Market Structure
Democrats call for bipartisan cooperation as Republicans push to fast-track a market structure bill.

A Parallel Democratic Framework
A group of 12 Democratic senators has unveiled its own framework to guide crypto market structure legislation, stressing the need for a deliberate, bipartisan process. The timing comes as Republicans on the Senate banking committee prepare to advance their bill this fall.

Like the GOP’s draft released Sept. 5, the Democrats’ version calls for regulatory clarity and clearer rules for how the SEC and CFTC would oversee digital assets.

“We owe it to the millions of Americans who participate in this market to create clear rules of the road that protect consumers and safeguard our markets,” the senators wrote. “We also must ensure that digital assets are not used to finance illicit activities or to line the pockets of politicians and their families.”

Clarity vs. Politics
The Democratic framework lays out seven key pillars, including protections against illicit finance and closing regulatory gaps in the spot market. But it also openly criticizes President Donald Trump, accusing him of destabilizing regulatory agencies.

“Designing and enforcing a digital asset framework will require significant additional resources for the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury Department,” the proposal states. “In addition, President Trump has fired countless Democratic commissioners from independent regulatory agencies and shown little interest in nominating new officials.”

At present, the CFTC has just one commissioner — Acting Chair Caroline Pham — following widespread departures. Trump has nominated Brian Quintenz to replace Pham as chair, but the other four commission seats remain vacant.

Path to Passage by 2026?
Following the passage of the GENIUS Act on payment stablecoins in July, Congress is shifting focus to broader market structure rules. Republicans plan to move their bill — the Responsible Financial Innovation Act — through the banking committee in October, the agriculture committee in November, and into law by 2026.

Meanwhile, the House already passed its version, the CLARITY Act, with bipartisan support. But Democrats remain split, especially after their framework recommended new restrictions on lawmakers themselves.

Specifically, the proposal calls for prohibiting elected officials and their families from “issuing, endorsing, or profiting from digital assets while in office” and tightening disclosure requirements.

Trump’s Crypto Ties Add Friction
Democrats argue that Trump’s personal and family-linked ventures in crypto — including World Liberty Financial, a Trump memecoin, and a family-backed mining venture — complicate efforts to build consensus. Lawmakers such as Senator Elizabeth Warren have repeatedly criticized Trump’s crypto involvement as a conflict of interest.

Despite these tensions, both parties agree that establishing clear, stable rules for the digital asset market will be critical to protecting investors and enabling growth in the years ahead. Whether the two frameworks can be reconciled remains to be seen.

Why This Matters
The competing proposals highlight the political stakes in building the first comprehensive U.S. crypto market framework. With the GENIUS Act already signed into law, momentum is shifting toward legislation that defines the regulatory perimeter for exchanges, tokens, and digital asset issuers. A bipartisan solution will be essential for lasting stability.

U.S. Congress Demands 90-Day Report on Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Security

Lawmakers push Treasury to assess feasibility, cybersecurity, and national security of a federal Bitcoin reserve.

Building a Digital Fort Knox
The U.S. Congress is moving forward with legislation that would require the Treasury Department to deliver a comprehensive report on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and broader U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile within 90 days of enactment.

The measure, filed on September 5 by Representative David Joyce (R-OH) as part of the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act for FY2026 (H.R. 5166), directs the Treasury to assess the feasibility, security, and accounting of a federal digital asset reserve built primarily from seized cryptocurrencies.

The bill has already cleared the House Appropriations Committee, been assigned Union Calendar No. 193, and is awaiting a floor vote. Its ultimate passage, however, will hinge on broader budget negotiations later this year.

U.S. Treasury Report to Weigh Feasibility of a Bitcoin Reserve
Currently, the federal government holds an estimated 198,000–207,000 BTC (roughly $17–20 billion), mostly acquired through law enforcement actions against darknet markets, fraud schemes, and cybercrime. Historically, these holdings were sold off at public auctions, a practice now shifting toward strategic retention.

Under the new framework, however, Treasury would need to assess the practicability of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile, including potential legal or operational barriers.

The bill also calls for clarity on how these assets would be valued on the federal balance sheet, how custody would be managed, and whether outside contractors would be used for safekeeping.

Notably, the report must analyze how consolidating seized Bitcoin and other assets into a reserve would affect the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, which currently receives proceeds from asset seizures.

National Security and Cyber Defense
National security looms large in the proposal. The legislation directs Treasury and the National Security Agency to jointly prepare a classified security assessment detailing how to protect federal digital asset reserves from cyberattacks, insider threats, and foreign adversaries.

It also requires the department to outline its legal authority, cybersecurity measures, and interagency protocols for moving digital assets securely.

The timing reflects a broader political push. In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a framework for a national Bitcoin reserve, explicitly stating that the government would not buy coins on the open market but instead rely on confiscations.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has since reinforced the message, arguing that Bitcoin can serve as a hedge and an innovation signal, while taxpayers benefit from retaining high-value assets rather than selling them off prematurely.

Strategic Pragmatism, Not a CBDC
Supporters of the bill frame it as fiscal pragmatism and geopolitical strategy. Representative Joyce said the measure ensures that the government “remains fiscally responsible, leverages new technology, and is focused on national security.”

The legislation also includes a prohibition against funding a U.S. central bank digital currency, showing Republican resistance to a government-backed CBDC.

Counterweight to BRICS Digital Currency Push
The anti-CBDC clause also stands out against the backdrop of BRICS nations advancing digital currency initiatives. China has been rapidly rolling out the digital yuan, while Russia, Brazil, and South Africa are exploring their own central bank digital currencies.

By explicitly rejecting a U.S. CBDC, Congress is signaling that America will not follow the same path as its geopolitical rivals. Instead, Washington appears to be betting on Bitcoin and decentralized assets as a strategic hedge — a move that could create a stark policy divide between Western and BRICS financial architectures.

Global Momentum for National Bitcoin Reserves
Adding urgency to the need for proper reserve classification and reporting, some U.S. states advance their own measures. Particularly, Texas has already established a state-level reserve, while other states, including New Hampshire and Arizona, have passed digital asset investment laws.

Notably, the United States is not alone in exploring crypto reserves. This week, El Salvador advanced its Bitcoin accumulation with a 21 BTC purchase to celebrate Bitcoin Day despite the IMF directory. Likewise, Kazakhstan’s president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, recently proposed a state crypto fund to accumulate digital assets.

In the Philippines, lawmakers have considered a proposal to establish a reserve of 10,000 Bitcoin, which would make it the first in Southeast Asia to adopt such a measure. Similarly, Brazil’s Congress is considering Bill 4501/24, a proposal to create a $19 billion Bitcoin reserve, known as RESBit, under the joint oversight of the Central Bank and Finance Ministry.

Notably, Bitbo data reveals that governments worldwide hold more than 517,000 Bitcoin, equal to 2.46% of the total supply. Holdings include nearly 194,000 Bitcoin in China, over 11,000 in Bhutan, and around 6,000 in El Salvador.

Why This Matters
The U.S. move to classify, secure, and potentially formalize its Bitcoin stockpile comes at a turning point in global finance. As BRICS nations accelerate gold buying and digital currency pilots, Washington is exploring a different hedge: strategic Bitcoin reserves. Whether this strengthens America’s financial resilience or sparks new geopolitical fault lines will be closely watched worldwide.

Experts Decipher If Ripple’s XRP Lawsuit Saved Crypto World Just in Time
Rate cuts, Wall Street adoption, and Ripple’s courtroom victory may have converged at a critical moment for crypto.

Rate Cuts Spark New Investor Momentum
The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates after last week’s weak jobs data, a move already sending ripples through global markets. Gold surged to a record $3,600, and analysts say crypto could be next in line.

“If rates fall, more money flows into the system,” said James Rule on the Paul Barron Podcast. “That cash won’t just stay in banks. People will look to gold, metals, and crypto. We’re already seeing new, first-time users flooding in.”

For XRP in particular, lower borrowing costs may fuel fresh retail demand. Investors increasingly view the asset as both an inflation hedge and a cross-border payments tool.

Ripple’s Lawsuit Legacy
XRP’s current position cannot be separated from Ripple’s landmark legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The agency alleged that XRP sales were unregistered securities — a case that galvanized the entire crypto community.

Attorney John Deaton led thousands of XRP holders in challenging the SEC’s claims, turning the case into a referendum on crypto’s future in the U.S.

“We all fought that fight,” Rule reflected. “And it wasn’t just about Ripple. It set the tone for all of crypto.”

The outcome, widely seen as a win for Ripple, provided legal clarity and boosted confidence among both retail investors and institutions.

Wall Street, Nasdaq, and Institutional Adoption
Signs of mainstream embrace are growing rapidly:

• Nasdaq has floated plans for tokenized securities.

• Stripe is exploring its own blockchain infrastructure.

• Ripple’s Swell conference is attracting major institutional speakers, a signal of rising corporate interest.

Together, these developments mark a turning point. “From Capitol Hill to Wall Street, the groundwork was laid by Ripple’s fight,” analysts noted.

Why This Matters
Ripple’s victory against the SEC helped clear a path for broader digital asset adoption at a time when monetary policy is loosening. With Wall Street now leaning into blockchain and institutions showing up at Ripple’s events, XRP’s dual legacy — as both a payments utility and a legal precedent — may prove decisive in shaping crypto’s future.
