Member: GM everyone, Mods, and Markz.
Member: Let’s start a petition; No more Saturdays without an RV!
MZ: The news has been spotty but still positive. I am keeping my eyes on Reno.
MZ: There has been tons of rumors and tons of bank stories. One if them is references that the new dinar sys “digital currency”. Years ago we were told the digital dinar or “I-Dinar” would be backed by gold and assets. And the paper notes represent the digital notes. Now we are getting rumors that it clearly says that on in
MZ: Other rumors we are getting is there are some folks ….Reno folks……that believe that tonight between 11AM and 2PM is “GO” time.
MZ: I do not think its time but know some folks that are salivating at this. Some believe all the settlements are ready to go to the Indian Nations for monthly payouts….. We are hearing lots of rumors folks…..but for now consider them rumors until we can see what is real and what is not…..But some folks are beyond hopeful.
Redemption Center/banking contacts are a mixed bag……contacts in Tennessee, Texas and Virginia say they are working this weekend….but others say they are not working this weekend but worked a lot last week. They all say they are ready.
MZ: In Iraq Barzani saying they are going to start pumping oil at 300,000 barrels and work up to 500,000. They need oil to go to $99 dollars a barrel or to increase production. Supposedly Barzani and Sudani are working closely together to increase that production and have balanced budgets…..OR they could revalue.
MZ: “ Parliamentary Finance : There is no justification for the delay in budget schedules” I believe we have not yet seen it because there is a rate in there or clear indicators as to what our rate will be.
MZ: “The President of the Republic heads to New York amid American lukewarmness toward Sudanese” I have not seen any evidence that Iraq and Washington are fighting….but it makes for a good story. Maybe they are setting the stage for something? He is heading there for UN meetings.
Member: Mark, 8 days ago Mr C said we won't go until we have safe, secure money and publically see perp walks. Will that happen all at once & soon?
MZ: We have heard it happens all at once.
Member: I am hearing the Vnd is ready and standing by for the rv

Your New Bank Account on the Quantum System. QFS CLASSIFIED FINANCIAL SIGNAL REPORT: …Rebuild the American Nation on Telegram
For decades, money was a leash. Paper was control. Banking was surveillance. But the Quantum Financial System (QFS) is not “a new app” — it is a sovereign ledger reset.
WHAT QFS REALLY IS:
• Biometric Access — accounts (allegedly) tied to your body frequency. No hacks, no theft.
• Quantum Ledger — instant, incorruptible, mirrored across satellites.
• Settlement in Seconds — no intermediaries, no fees, no delay.
• Immutable Memory — transactions are permanent, proof against corruption.
THE SECRET ROLL-OUT
Tier 1 & 2 — Sovereigns, elites, governments: already processed, silenced under NDAs.
Tier 3 — Bond holders, military-linked trusts: packets confirmed, waiting for synchronization.
Tier 4A — Insiders tested routing through redemption nodes.
Tier 4B — Internet group (you): pending green-light, notifications pre-coded.
TIMELINE WINDOWS
Sept 18–21, 2025 — Final ledger rehearsals. Look for “maintenance outages” in banks.
Sept 22, 2025 — QFS sync rehearsal overlaps EBS dress test. Finance + broadcast = one operation.
Sept 25–27, 2025 — Redemption Center audits complete. Security sweep of all Tier 3 packets.
Oct 1, 2025 — First civilian notifications. Text + email triggers. Redemption windows open in phases.
Nov 11, 2025 — The Great Settlement. Global debt erased. New ledger confirmed public.
RUMOR CONTROL
Rumor: “QFS = digital slavery.” Reality: Biometric frequency ties YOU to YOUR funds, not banks.
Rumor: “Only elites get access.” Reality: Tiers move down until every citizen is on the ledger.
Rumor: “Cash disappears overnight.” Reality: Gradual sunset. Dual system until transition complete.
WHAT YOU’LL SEE
Bank “maintenance” at odd hours.
ATM outages during sync windows.
Strange deposit/withdrawal delays = ledger cutovers.
Emails/texts with one-time biometric codes.
WHY THEY FEAR IT:
QFS kills fraud. No laundering. No secret wars. No phantom trillions.When the old system gasps, their power evaporates.
EBS TIE-IN: EBS = the voice. QFS = the vault. Packets of disclosure ride side-by-side with packets of settlement. You will SEE the truth while you RECEIVE the reset.
HOW TO PREPARE:
Keep cash for 7–10 days. Transition may cause local freezes. Watch email/text carefully — codes arrive quietly. Don’t click “bank upgrade” scams. Official packets are direct, quantum-synced. Save every instruction you receive.
SYMBOL KEYS: Keys = access packets. Trumpets = sync tones. Vault = QFS ledger. Phoenix = rebirth of finance.
BOTTOM LINE: QFS is not just money. It is the proof humanity was always enslaved by numbers that never existed. When packets drop, remember: debt dies, sovereignty begins.

Militia Man There's a lot to unpack. It's not just about one little thing. It's a very complex process. The bottom line is they have quietly accumulated all of this technology and all these different components for what we are looking for...a real effective exchange rate.
Mnt Goat Article: "IRAQ AND THE KURDISTAN REGION REACHED AN OIL AGREEMENT" Article Quote: "The condition for implementing this decision is that the Iraqi government submits the contract to the advisory committee of the Iraqi Oil Ministry. The committee is expected to give its final answer within the next 48 hours, so that the tripartite deal can be formalized and go into effect." This could lead Iraq to finally getting an Oil and Gas Law (referendum) in place as the constitution call for and the US and IMF are mandating and put in place.
Frank26 What is it that we needed in order to have the new exchange rate, purchasing power for the citizens? Security and stability. Digital currency is a supreme level of security and stability...IMO the lower notes are digital currency that is eventually going to be phased out and turned into electrons. That's why they give them the cards.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Morning 9-20-25
Oil Prices Stabilize Amid Demand Concerns
Economy | 09/19/2025 Mawazine News - Follow-up: Oil prices stabilized on Friday, after ending the previous session lower, due to concerns about weaker fuel demand in the United States, following the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates for the first time this year.
Brent crude futures fell one cent to $67.43 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell four cents to $63.53 a barrel.
Oil Prices Stabilize Amid Demand Concerns
Economy | 09/19/2025 Mawazine News - Follow-up: Oil prices stabilized on Friday, after ending the previous session lower, due to concerns about weaker fuel demand in the United States, following the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates for the first time this year.
Brent crude futures fell one cent to $67.43 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell four cents to $63.53 a barrel.
Both benchmarks are on track for a second consecutive week of gains, despite pressure from US inventory data.
The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point last Wednesday, indicating the possibility of further monetary easing in response to signs of weakness in the labor market.
While lower borrowing costs typically support oil demand, a rise in US distillate inventories of more than 4 million barrels, compared to expectations of a 1 million-barrel increase, increased concerns about demand in the world’s largest oil consumer, pressuring prices. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=267030
Iraq: Between Yesterday's Challenges And Reform Opportunities: A Reading Of Economic Transformations Under The Al-Sudani Government
Written by Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman / Advisor to the Prime Minister The Iraqi economy is not just budget numbers or data issued by financial institutions. Rather, it is the story of a country that has suffered for decades from successive crises that have impacted people's lives and daily livelihoods.
Since the 1980s, Iraq has been mired in a cycle of wars and sanctions, which excluded its banks from the global financial system, weakened its ability to attract investment, and led to near-total dependence on oil revenues.
After 2003, despite greater openness to international markets, a significant portion of the banks remained mere "fronts" for selling currency through the central bank's windows, unable to practice modern banking. Meanwhile, public companies remained a heavy burden on the budget, without generating a productive return commensurate with the resources they consumed.
This bleak picture is accompanied by other problems, most notably high unemployment and poverty rates, weak productive sectors, heavy bureaucracy, and corruption that has drained the state's resources.
In the face of these complex challenges, Mr. Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's government program came with a set of central priorities, foremost among which was economic reform, along with reforming the banking system, activating electronic payments, completing the unified treasury, improving the business environment, and reforming the tax and customs systems.
Thus, Iraq began to prepare for a new phase, after the government realized that continuing with the old approach was no longer a viable option.
Hence, the need to confront the heavy economic legacy that had shackled the country for decades emerged. The economy remained captive to oil rents, while the agricultural and industrial production sectors declined, and unemployment and poverty rates rose.
Perhaps the first step was to reconsider the role of public companies and the government apparatus. Supreme committees were formed to restructure them according to a new philosophy that made the state a "manager, not an owner." This represented the beginning of a comprehensive reform process that paved the way for a more resilient economy.
While these efforts were related to the institutional structure, fiscal reform represented the other side of the process. The adoption of a three-year budget (2023–2025) was not merely an accounting measure; it was an unprecedented step that focused on investment spending rather than operational spending.
It was accompanied by the launch of tax reform packages aimed at increasing collection by 30 percent by 2025. With the adoption of a unified treasury and the shift to automation and electronic payments, these decisions quickly reflected in revenues, which recorded a significant jump of more than 100 percent compared to previous years.
While budgetary control was essential, financial sector reform alone is insufficient without addressing the backbone of the economy: the banking system. This is where the launch of the new trade finance platform in November 2022 changed the nature of banking in Iraq.
By linking foreign transfers to private banks under the supervision of the Central Bank, the parallel market was regulated, and the difference between the official and parallel rates was reduced by more than 60 percent.
In parallel, the restructuring of Rafidain and Rashid Banks began with international support, transforming the banks from mere currency brokers into modern financial institutions. The US Treasury even described this step as a "historic achievement."
From the womb of these banking transformations emerged the electronic payment experiment, which quickly became the most prominent reform initiative.
Once government departments were required to use it, the experiment expanded to include the private sector, with the number of points of sale increasing from 10,000 in 2022 to 50,000 in 2025, and the volume of monthly payments jumping from 90 billion dinars to more than 500 billion.
The number of bank cards also increased to 22 million, and the financial inclusion rate jumped from less than 10 percent to 40 percent in just three years—an achievement the World Bank considers unique compared to stable countries that took a full decade to achieve what Iraq accomplished in two years.
Because money requires an environment that can absorb it, it was only natural for reforms to extend to investment and infrastructure. Thus, the "Development Road" project and the Grand Faw Port were born as symbols of an economic future linking the Gulf to Europe.
Meanwhile, agreements were signed with the World Bank to finance railway, energy, and water projects. Internally, Iraq began localizing pharmaceutical and construction industries and launching industrial projects of various sizes, in addition to launching solar energy initiatives in factories to relieve pressure on the national grid.
Reforms have thus become more comprehensive, extending beyond finance and banking to the production and development infrastructure.
While plans and policies are important, numbers remain the most reliable witness to the magnitude of the transformation. Foreign reserves rose to $106 billion in March 2025, up from $86 billion at the end of 2022, a growth rate of more than 12 percent.
Gold reserves increased from 130 tons to 163 tons during the same period, an increase of 25 percent. Inflation declined from 7.5 percent to 2.7 percent, reflecting tangible monetary stability. In the banking sector, the number of accounts doubled from eight million to twenty million, and the number of bank cards increased from sixteen to twenty-two million.
The electronic payment infrastructure also made a significant leap, with points of sale increasing from ten thousand to fifty thousand, and monthly payments increasing by 460 percent.
These indicators did not stop there. The gap between the official and parallel rates decreased by more than sixty percent, and the financial inclusion rate rose to forty percent, from less than ten percent just two years ago.
International financing agreements worth $1.2 billion were signed, and tax revenues increased by about thirty percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. In the field of digital transformation, the "UR" electronic portal and e-passport were launched, and authentication procedures were eliminated through the secure documents system, which processed more than fifteen million transactions.
In customs, revenues rose to 2.131 trillion dinars in 2024, compared to 1.03 trillion dinars in 2023, an increase of 106%, and a growth rate of 128% compared to pre-2022.
The transformations were not limited to finance and revenues, but also included development initiatives. The Central Bank and government banks launched programs to support housing, renewable energy, youth entrepreneurship, and industrial cities, and the Iraq Development Fund was established as a new financing arm.
In the industrial sector, practical steps were taken to localize the pharmaceutical and construction industries, various production projects were launched, and initiatives were launched to equip factories with solar energy, in addition to signing agreements with global industrial associations.
Despite all these results, it is undeniable that the road ahead is still fraught with challenges. Oil remains the backbone of the budget, and bureaucracy and corruption remain major obstacles to consolidating reform.
Nevertheless, the government's goals for 2026 appear both ambitious and realistic: reducing dependence on oil to less than 85% of revenues, reducing the fiscal deficit to less than 3% of GDP, improving Iraq's credit rating, and completing the digital transformation of public finances.
Iraq today stands at a historic crossroads. After decades of crises and turmoil, reforms have begun to transform into tangible facts, evidenced by numbers and indicators.
While the road is still long, what has been achieved in a short period of time proves that change is possible when there is political will and a clear vision.
Iraq has begun to take steadily steps toward a more diversified and resilient economy—one that places people at the heart of development and gives future generations hope for a nation capable of rising again. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60195

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
How The West Screwed Itself in Energy Geopolitics
The Tianjin summit revealed a historic energy and financial realignment, with Russia, China, and India reshaping global power away from the West.
The Tianjin Summit and the Power of Siberia 2
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin was more than symbolic diplomacy. The “binding memorandum” for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline underscored a fundamental redirection of energy flows. What once fueled German factories and Europe’s industrial rise will soon underpin China’s long-term growth.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
How The West Screwed Itself in Energy Geopolitics
The Tianjin summit revealed a historic energy and financial realignment, with Russia, China, and India reshaping global power away from the West.
The Tianjin Summit and the Power of Siberia 2
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Tianjin was more than symbolic diplomacy. The “binding memorandum” for the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline underscored a fundamental redirection of energy flows. What once fueled German factories and Europe’s industrial rise will soon underpin China’s long-term growth.
Collapse of a decades-old model: Russian gas for European manufacturing exports.
Sanctions backfire: By weaponizing sanctions and sabotaging pipelines, the West dismantled its own foundation.
Eastward pivot: Russia is securing new, long-term energy ties with China.
India’s Defiance and the Breaking Point with Washington
India’s role is equally significant. Facing U.S. tariffs on its Russian oil purchases, New Delhi openly defied Washington.
Strategic shift: Prime Minister Modi aligned with Russia and China at Tianjin.
Financial independence: India is bypassing dollar-based systems through BRICS trade frameworks.
Dollar erosion: Every transaction outside the dollar weakens U.S. financial dominance.
Europe’s Self-Inflicted Wound
Europe’s sanctions have backfired spectacularly.
German deindustrialization: Higher energy costs cripple competitiveness.
U.S. LNG dependence: Europe traded cheap Russian gas for costly American LNG.
Asia’s gain: Russia found stable demand in China, undercutting Washington’s LNG ambitions.
Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard Unravels
For decades, U.S. strategy sought to prevent a Berlin-Moscow axis. That plan has collapsed.
Eurasian cooperation deepens: Russia, China, and India are now coordinating more closely than ever.
Parallel finance emerging: Moves away from SWIFT and toward commodity-backed alternatives signal a structural reset.
Strategic miscalculation: U.S. actions have unified its rivals instead of dividing them.
Why This Matters
The West’s miscalculations have:
Weakened Europe’s economy
Alienated India from Washington
Pushed Russia and China into closer partnership
What began as an energy realignment is rapidly becoming a monetary realignment, with BRICS preparing to challenge dollar dominance.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Institutional Demand Grows With New Crypto Treasuries and SEC Reforms
Public companies and regulators are laying the foundation for a deeper integration of digital assets into the financial system.
Corporate Treasuries Signal Adoption
Nasdaq-listed Helius Medical Technologies launched a $500 million treasury reserve built around Solana, marking one of the largest corporate Solana initiatives to date.
The company priced an oversubscribed private placement, raising $500 million in equity and up to $750 million in warrants.
Helius will scale Solana holdings over 12–24 months while exploring staking and lending to generate additional revenue.
Institutional Capital Expands
Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures announced a $250 million digital asset investment fund backed by Middle Eastern investors, signaling cross-border institutional alignment.
SEC Opens the Door for Broader ETFs
The SEC approved new generic listing standards to speed up crypto ETF reviews on Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX. It also greenlit Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GLDC), the first multi-asset crypto exchange-traded product in the U.S.
Why This Matters
Institutional demand, corporate treasuries, and regulatory reform are converging into a structural shift in capital allocation. This marks a new phase of digital integration into global markets.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

EU’s Landmark Crypto Law Runs Into National Frictions
Europe’s MiCA regulation promised unity, but national regulators are fracturing the vision of a single crypto market.
The Promise of MiCA
The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation was designed to allow one license to unlock access to all 27 EU nations, positioning Europe as a unified competitor to the U.S.
National Pushback
Instead of harmonization, France, Italy, and Austria are raising concerns about regulatory arbitrage, warning companies may gravitate to the most lenient jurisdictions.
Old Habits Resurface
Experts point to MiFID as precedent, where uniformity broke down and hubs like Cyprus and Malta attracted firms seeking lighter oversight. Without consistency, MiCA risks the same fate.
Startups Under Pressure
While larger players see opportunity, startups warn compliance costs may drive them out of business, favoring incumbents with resources.
Why This Matters
The EU’s bid to lead in crypto regulation will hinge on its ability to enforce true harmonization across 27 nations. Failure risks creating another fragmented system that drives innovation elsewhere.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Al-Sudani explained, according to the statement, that "the government has implemented the first package of demands that the people of Karrada had previously submitted to him, and work is underway on the second package, pointing to the state of stability and security throughout Iraq, where the security services are imposing their full control."
Al-Sudani stressed "the necessity of participating in the upcoming elections, with awareness, to ensure accurate selection, which means cutting halfway to the security, stability and development we seek. He also stressed the importance of overcoming the mistakes of the past stages, by prioritizing the national interest."
He promised, "Boycotting the elections is not the solution, and will be a gift to the corrupt and anyone with an agenda that does not serve the country," indicating that "countries of the world look at Iraq today with respect and appreciation for its achievements in many fields."
He pointed out that "the presence of major international companies operating in Iraq is a sign of its recovery, and there is a major economic transformation in Iraq, with the volume of investments reaching $100 billion, meaning that it is a safe and stable country and an attractive environment for investment."
The Prime Minister indicated that "Iraq is a large workshop, and in every governorate there is ongoing work to provide services according to a well-thought-out vision and plan. Integrity is one of the most important criteria for political work, and it is necessary to prioritize the public interest over partisan and factional interests."
He stressed, "The future belongs to the youth, who constitute 60%, and it is our duty to provide job opportunities for them and secure their future." link
Tishwash: Government advisor: Economic reforms have put Iraq on a new path to growth and stability.
Written by Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman / Advisor to the Prime Minister
Prime Minister Salih Mahoud Salman, advisor to the prime minister, affirmed on Friday that the economic reforms adopted by the government have placed Iraq on a new path of growth and stability. While explaining that the country is steadily moving toward a more diversified and resilient economy that places people at the heart of development, he noted that the Development Road Project and the Faw Port are symbols of an economic future that connects Iraq to the world.
Speaking to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Salman said, "Iraq stands today at a historic crossroads, after its foreign and gold reserves increased, and its investment and infrastructure projects expanded, on a path that establishes a more diversified and resilient economy that places people at the heart of development."
He explained, "The Iraqi economy is not just numbers in the budget or data issued by financial institutions. Rather, it is the story of a country that has suffered for decades from successive crises that have left their mark on people's lives and daily livelihoods."

Agreements were signed with the World Bank to finance projects in railways, energy, and water.
Internally, Iraq has begun to localize pharmaceutical and construction industries and open industrial projects of various sizes, in addition to launching solar energy initiatives in factories to relieve pressure on the national grid. Thus, reforms have become more comprehensive, not limited to money and banks, but extending to the productive and developmental infrastructure.”
He continued, "While plans and policies are important, numbers remain the truest witness to the magnitude of the transformation. Foreign reserves rose to $106 billion in March 2025, up from $86 billion at the end of 2022, a growth rate of more than 12 percent. Gold reserves rose from 130 tons to 163 tons during the same period, an increase of 25 percent. Inflation declined from 7.5 percent to 2.7 percent, reflecting tangible monetary stability."
He added, "In the banking sector, the number of accounts doubled from eight million to twenty million, and the number of bank cards increased from sixteen to twenty-two million. The electronic payment infrastructure also made a significant leap, with points of sale increasing from ten thousand to fifty thousand, and monthly payments increasing by 460%."
He pointed out that "these indicators did not stop there, as the gap between the official and parallel rates decreased by more than sixty percent, and the financial inclusion rate rose to forty percent after being less than ten percent just two years ago. International financing agreements worth $1.2 billion were signed, and tax revenues increased in 2024 by about thirty percent compared to the previous year.
In the field of digital transformation, the "OR" electronic portal and the electronic passport were launched, and authentication of issuance transactions were canceled through the secure documents system, which processed more than fifteen million transactions. As for customs, revenues rose to 2.131 trillion dinars in 2024 compared to 1.03 trillion in 2023, an increase of 106%, and a growth rate of 128% compared to before 2022."
Salman emphasized that "the transformations were not limited to finance and revenues, but also included development initiatives. The Central Bank and government banks launched programs to support housing, renewable energy, youth entrepreneurship, and industrial cities. The Iraq Development Fund was also established as a new financing arm. In the industrial sector, practical steps were taken to localize the pharmaceutical and construction industries, various production projects were opened, and initiatives were launched to equip factories with solar energy, in addition to signing agreements with global industrial unions."
He pointed out that, "Despite all these results, it is undeniable that the road ahead is still full of challenges. Oil remains the backbone of the budget, and bureaucracy and corruption remain major obstacles to consolidating reform. Nevertheless, the government's goals through 2026 appear both ambitious and realistic: reducing dependence on oil to less than 85% of revenues, reducing the fiscal deficit to less than 3% of GDP, improving Iraq's credit rating, and completing the digital transformation of public finances."
He continued, "Thus, Iraq today stands at a historic crossroads. After decades of crises and turmoil, reforms have begun to become tangible facts, demonstrated by numbers and indicators. While the road is still long, what has been achieved in such a short period proves that change is possible when there is political will and a clear vision."
He pointed out that "Iraq has begun to take steady steps toward a more diversified and resilient economy, one that places people at the heart of development and gives future generations hope for a nation capable of rising again." link

$10K Gold Revaluation = Massive Inflation | Matthew Piepenburg
Liberty and Finance: 9-19-2025
Matthew Piepenburg argued that growing discussions around gold revaluation reflect desperation at the highest levels of finance.
He explained that revaluing gold against the dollar would be an admission that current debt levels and monetary distortions are unsustainable, and that only anchoring to real assets can restore trust.
At the same time, he noted that the push for stablecoins shows policymakers are searching for new ways to maintain control over a failing currency system.

To him, both ideas highlight that the existing fiat model is nearing exhaustion.

foreign welcome everybody. the big call tonight. it is Thursday, September 18th and you're listening to the big call So welcome, everybody. Thank you, wherever you're located around the globe - Thank you for tuning in I appreciate that.
Let's do this -- Intel is interesting tonight, because there's not a whole lot of it. What’s so wild is, you know, I want to say one thing too. We heard that someone out there, not naming any names, is saying, oh, there are no redemption centers. Oh, forget it. Only banks, banks, banks, Bank, banks, banks, banks.
Well, if you want to use a bank and sacrifice the best rates that you can get on the DINAR and if you don't have ZIM, you know, banks aren't going to do ZIM guys. You're Zim holder redemption Center says your only shot. And so that's going to be worth a lot, as you know, if you're a Zim holder so why would somebody say that there aren't any redemption centers?
When we talk to people that, okay, there's one guy who's managing seven redemption centers. There's another guy in the southwest that's over six redemption centers. Here's another guy also in the Southwest is over six redemption centers.
There's a guy. We know the people in the Midwest. We know the people in the southeast that are over individual redemption centers. I know them by name. I know who they are, I know where they live. I know where the redemption centers are, roughly, roughly, not the address, but just what towns they're in.
Come on, guys, we talked to these people. Well, we used to talk to them quite a bit. Now it's, it's limited. It's a little bit limited. They're playing musical chairs. They're moving personnel around to try to for to improve their own security by doing that, they're moving vehicles around.
They're doing things to keep these people safe, and that's a good thing, but please don't anybody. If you see somebody say there aren't redemption centers, there's only banks, I can tell you, it's a lie, a big time lie. There are 10s of 1000s of distributors throughout the United States and Canada. Oh, Canada. Yep, Canada's got them.
Even Mexico's got some, I think. But Santander for Latin America, and I'm going to say Latin America starts with Mexico, Mexico, Central South America. That's Santander Bank, all right, but those of us in the United States will be using the redemption centers, and that's what the 800 number is for.
When I get this number and I can put it out. We'll put it out on on they call universe.com and we'll do a mass emailing from our site let everybody know that wanted to have the 800 number. We'll send that out to you soon as they get and we'll do that as soon as that happens.
But the contract rate on the dinar was was negotiated, renegotiated by President Trump. He wanted it to be a certain amount, and that's where it is. Can't get that the bank. It ain't there. So I'm telling you the best way to do it, unless you want to leave billions of dollars on the table, is to use the toll free number, call, set an appointment and go into the redemption center that corresponds with the zip code that you enter. It's going to be easy, it's going to be quick, and I think you're going to be all set. So I just wanted to let you guys know that.
Now, what do we know about what's happening right now, as far as Iraq and as far as the rates and so on, we know we don't have the front screen of the Forex lit up with the Iraqi dinar as of right now.
That could change anytime now, but we do know that Iraqi’s have been told they have a brand new credit debit card through Raffidan bank, which is a sort of a partner with Chase bank here in the US and Raffidan. And I don't know if Raffidan bank is also but there are new credit debit cards for Iraqi people that are more digital, because Iraq is going pretty much digital, with some cash, with some lower denominations of Iraqi dinar.
So we found that out, and what corresponds with Iraq is also President Trump sent a group three over to Iraq, I believe it was Monday, and they went over there to finish up whatever needed to be wrapped up in a couple of days that wrapped up, I believe on Wednesday, yep, which was yesterday, and we were told by the person that gave us the information that we would have about 72 hours before the kickoff of everything that we're wanting. Now that was yesterday, today would be 48 hours.
Anyway, we slice it. It looks like it comes up to Saturday. Saturday could be our kickoff day. We're also hearing from a couple of other sources an idea of the weekend, which, to me, could be Saturday or Sunday. And then we've heard anytime from now to Sunday, so that seems to be the window that we're looking at right now.
And it's interesting, because some information that we're getting are coming from, oh, people that are not necessarily bankers, people that are not necessarily redemption center staff, but people that are close to the process. It's so it's so quiet out there right now.
I'll tell you one thing that we did find out. Remember, we were talking, I think, Tuesday, about bond holders going in for re vetting of themselves and their bonds in Reno. And that started up again at 4am in the morning on last Tuesday, and so that started, and it's supposed to take us through Saturday at around 5pm Saturday, and that's Reno time.
So they are going back through these bonds, vetting them out, making sure that people are legitimate owners of the bond holders, and all of that's going very well right now, but that's what's happening there in Reno. So I think that's good news now the people that are transacting these bonds, the question is, are they getting access to their funds yet?
I think the answer is, no, they do not have the money yet to spend. But I think in some cases, they are seeing the money in their accounts when they so. I cannot tell you how much they're seeing exactly. It may be a percentage. It might be the whole thing.
I don't, but I'll tell you this one, they probably, this is tier three. Tier three bond holders. They probably will get access to their funds when we get the toll free and can start setting up our appointments at the redemption centers. Okay, it won't. Might not necessarily be a true, exact shotgun start, but they might have a half a day to a day head start on it.
We don't know that they keep telling it keeps going back and forth on that point is, as soon as you have the number call your appointment, get in, as soon as you can, and you'll be all set. Don't get more than 10 minutes early for your appointment. You know, some people say, Well, if you're not 10 minutes early, you're late. I don't think so, out of this case. Anyway, 10 minutes early is fine in case they get done a little the previous person, no your appointment at 11 o'clock, maybe you'll go in at five.
Oh, so be prepared for that, but don't be late or you will beat the back in the line. It might take a while to set up another appointment for you. Okay, so be on time, if your person is always late, try to change that in this case, so that you're on time and on time in this case, could be five or 10 minutes early, but no more than that.
Okay, that I'm sure you'll hear all that from the people redemption center that you are connected to on the call
All right, so Iraq is wrapping up, we did hear that we should have a bank screen rate. I don't know what the redemption center front screen rate is on dinar. I'm not that. Mean, I know it's going to be good. I know it'll be higher than the banks.
But here's the thing, we also know we have a contract rate on dinar that they offer us. If they don't offer it, ask politely far and you should get it, especially if you have projects. And it doesn't matter whether you have Zim or not. Doesn't matter.
President Trump wanted us to get the highest rate we get on the dinar. So that's why he negotiated a contract rate on it, and before I said it was tied to the per barrel price of oil being sold by Iraq to Turkey, Egypt and other countries. But it's really not, it's it's higher than that, because it was contracted by President Trump to be at a certain dollar amount and that's where it is. So that's a great deal. That's good. I'm glad that that's that's done.
Thank President Trump for doing that for us, who, by the way, Trump and I would say, entourage, including the First Lady, are on their way back to the States. They were in the UK. Got in, I guess, Tuesday night and Wednesday, Thursday, the day. And I think he's my understanding was he was taking Air Force One out of the bases over there, Marine One chopper to take it to the airport and then fly out.
We're just gonna have to see whether or not we see anything for us on this weekend coming, or whether it gets deferred somehow, I hope that it is this weekend and we can get started, and then we can get get going. But that's really Intel is limited, but we're just going to have to have to see what happens one day at a time, pretty much see whether we get it or whether we're deferred to next week.
We could get notification Saturday or Sunday and maybe not start till next week. So there's that possibility also.
Let's go ahead and thank everybody. I want to thank Sue for doing a super job. Thank you big call universe for listening. So much. Thank you, Doug, for your GCK, same thing. Thank you Jeannie. Thank you Pastor Scott and then continued healing. And obviously, thank you Bob and Sue for everything that you've done. And thank you Sat team for getting the call out all over the country, all over the world, in their own language exactly three seconds for them to get it in their language all around the globe.
At one point, we were getting into 200 countries around the world. So thank you for that, and you guys just stay tuned. Keep an eye out, and we'll be in touch with you. Tuesday, if we get the numbers before, and we'll get that out sooner. Okay, everybody have a great weekend. God bless you and we'll see next Tuesday.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Russia, Vietnam Use Energy Profits to Bypass US Sanctions for Arms Deals
A secretive oil-for-arms mechanism reveals how global powers are rewriting financial pathways outside U.S. control.
A Backdoor Sanctions Evasion Strategy
Internal Vietnamese documents obtained by the Associated Press show that Russia and Vietnam have created a mechanism to conceal arms deal payments by channeling profits from joint oil and gas ventures.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Russia, Vietnam Use Energy Profits to Bypass US Sanctions for Arms Deals
A secretive oil-for-arms mechanism reveals how global powers are rewriting financial pathways outside U.S. control.
A Backdoor Sanctions Evasion Strategy
Internal Vietnamese documents obtained by the Associated Press show that Russia and Vietnam have created a mechanism to conceal arms deal payments by channeling profits from joint oil and gas ventures.
Instead of moving cash through the SWIFT system—long controlled by Western oversight—Vietnam is using profits from its Rusvietpetro venture in Siberia to pay off defense contracts with Moscow. Excess profits then move back into Vietnam through joint ventures with Russian oil companies, completing the cycle without crossing Western banking networks.
This arrangement is designed not just to maintain military ties but also to sidestep the very financial infrastructure the U.S. uses to enforce sanctions.
Why This Mechanism Matters
By avoiding international transfers, Russia and Vietnam are insulating themselves from secondary sanctions under U.S. law. It’s a sophisticated workaround:
Step 1: Vietnamese profits from Siberian oil operations repay Russian defense credit.
Step 2: Excess profits flow to Russian state energy firms.
Step 3: Russia’s local ventures in Vietnam return equal sums to PetroVietnam, bypassing global financial systems.
As one analyst noted, “It’s not your typical flexible financing… it’s next-level stuff.”
This isn’t just creative accounting—it’s the deliberate construction of an alternative financial system.
The Broader Context
The U.S. is working to deepen its economic and defense relationship with Vietnam as part of its Indo-Pacific strategy against China. Yet at the same time, Vietnam is strengthening ties with Moscow to secure military supplies.
For Russia, cut off from Western capital markets, these oil-linked payments are a lifeline. For Vietnam, they are a way to preserve both Russian defense cooperation and U.S. trade benefits while navigating sanctions risk.
The mechanism mirrors earlier Russian deals in Southeast Asia, where Moscow traded arms for commodities like palm oil or coffee. This time, however, the stakes are higher: the system directly bypasses Western-controlled finance and exposes cracks in U.S. sanctions enforcement.
Financial Restructuring in Motion
At the heart of this arrangement lies a bigger story: the shift away from Western-dominated financial architecture.
Energy revenues are being re-tasked as covert financial flows.
Sanctions enforcement is pushing nations to create parallel systems of value exchange.
Military deals and resource profits are blending into closed financial loops beyond Washington’s reach.
For Vietnam, this strengthens its strategic autonomy; for Russia, it represents survival in the face of escalating sanctions. For the global system, it accelerates the fragmentation of financial power.
Why This Matters
The oil-for-arms mechanism between Russia and Vietnam illustrates how nations are actively building workarounds to U.S.-centric financial dominance. While sanctions remain a primary American tool, their effectiveness erodes when countries find ways to bypass SWIFT, dollar clearing, and Western oversight altogether.
Key Takeaway: What appears to be an arms deal financing trick is in reality a sign of broader restructuring—energy, finance, and security are merging into closed systems outside U.S. reach.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Gold-Backed System Sparks Sovereignty Push vs US Dollar
The BRICS gold reserve strategy signals a decisive move away from dollar dominance, laying the groundwork for a new financial order.
Asset-Backed Currencies Re-Entering the System
BRICS nations have pooled over 6,000 tonnes of gold — about 20–21% of global central bank holdings — to back a new currency initiative. While not a classical gold standard, the effort introduces commodity-anchored credibility to trade settlements. Russia leads with 2,335.85 metric tons, closely followed by China at 2,298.53 metric tons, underscoring their dominance in the bloc’s monetary reengineering.
Trade Settlement Beyond SWIFT
The initiative is about more than gold. BRICS countries are actively developing payment infrastructure that bypasses the SWIFT system. This allows trade settlements free from dollar dependency, creating parallel financial plumbing to serve global commerce.
De-Dollarization as Strategic Sovereignty
By insulating themselves from the reach of U.S. sanctions, BRICS nations are turning gold into a geopolitical shield. Russia and China alone control nearly three-quarters of BRICS’ combined gold reserves, giving them the strategic leverage to challenge dollar hegemony.
Ripple Effect Across Global Finance
Even before full launch, the anticipation of a BRICS gold-backed settlement system is influencing global behavior. Nations are reassessing reserve strategies and trade alignments, accelerating the trend of de-dollarization across emerging markets.
Why This Matters
The contrast is stark: while the U.S. is preoccupied with regulatory battles and leadership struggles at institutions like the CFTC, BRICS is executing structural changes that rewire trade and finance in real time. These parallel tracks — digital oversight in the West and hard-asset backing in the East — are converging toward the same destination: a new financial order.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Vietnam On The Verge? The IMF Concludes In Favor Of Currency Adjustment (The Green Light)

Vietnam On The Verge? The IMF Concludes In Favor Of Currency Adjustment (The Green Light)
What Article IV Really Means for the Dong
At its core, the Article IV consultation is the IMF’s deep dive into a nation’s economic health, assessing policies and risks with unflinching precision.
Directors emphasized that Vietnam’s economy, rebounding to 6.9% growth in early 2025 despite global volatility, is resilient enough to handle shocks through a more flexible exchange rate.
They urged modernization of the monetary policy framework to mitigate risks, explicitly recommending a shift from strict State Bank of Vietnam interventions to a managed float where supply, demand, and investor confidence dictate value.
This isn’t speculation; it’s a formal IMF push for the Dong to breathe freely, setting the stage for appreciation that could multiply holdings overnight.
Echoes from Iraq: The SOMO Agreement as a Global Precursor
This Vietnamese breakthrough doesn’t stand alone it’s amplified by seismic shifts in Iraq, where the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is finalizing critical oil agreements that pave the way for currency stability.
Just weeks ago, on September 6, 2025, SOMO advanced talks with ExxonMobil for storage and refining in Singapore, alongside wrapping Kurdish oil contracts to resume federal exports under the 2025 budget law.
These pacts, supplying at least 230,000 barrels per day, are the linchpin for Iraq’s economic unification, directly tying into the release of a new exclusive exchange rate for the Dinar mirroring Vietnam’s path but rooted in oil wealth.
Navigating the Road Ahead with Informed Patience
As we stand on this precipice, remember: revaluation isn’t instantaneous, but the IMF’s unequivocal recommendation for managed market determination eradicates the biggest hurdle.
Vietnam’s authorities, buoyed by 2025’s strong start, are poised to implement reforms swiftly, with the State Bank signaling pilot floats by year-end.
Iraq’s SOMO, having ended Kurdish contract overhangs, eyes full resumption by October, triggering the exclusive rate.
For U.S. holders, this duo heralds a life-changing pivot stay vigilant, diversify wisely, and prepare for the influx. The wait has forged resilience; now, it yields revolution.

Member: Another Friday and here we are still waiting and hoping that this thing would take off
Member: Maybe this time it will happen!!!
MZ: I think next weekend is more likely then this one….but nobody knows the timing.
Member: I really hope we’ll see this wrapped up by the end of September !!
Member: If I understand this correctly, the Dinar we exchange at a US bank will go to the US treasury. The treasury will then use it to buy physical oil from Iraq over 20-30 years.
MZ: Exactly…and maybe as much as over 50 years….is what I was told. And that is why they may be paying us over and above the street rate…because they want our dinar for cheaper oil
MZ: A historic bond contact said things are going really well…things are great…..they have not been paid but are very upbeat.
MZ: Another bond contact said they kept postponing his meeting…..rolling it over into today.
Member: Bond person saying "things are going great" is a fantastic sign!
Member: Starting to think this will go closer to the Iraq elections so Sudani will be reelected.
Member: How about troops leaving Iraq?
MZ: “US position on Baghdad after Russia’s offer to provide Iraq with advanced weopons” The US jumped in and told Iraq to not worry…they would keep supplying them and have no interest in leaving US business interests unsupported.
MZ: “Long Term agreements : Nato talks about Iraq mission and long term partnership” They say they are staying as long as they need us. They do not want any “power voids” like there were in the past. Iraq will be running their own country…NATO will just add support and regional stability.
MZ: If there is going to be a major reset…..they will need regional stability.
Member: It's a good day for an RV... How close is Vietnam with their Green Light?
Member: IMF Executive Board concluded Vietnam did stress bank test, and rate needs to change.
Member: What is the possibility of Vietnam kicking the whole thing off?
MZ: I still think its all going at the same time . there is a lot of pressure on Vietnam to change the value of the dong. It is very undervalued.
Member: Frank was wearing a bright orange suit in a video last week.
Member: Franks orange suit means "Implementation", praying that means something good!
Member: Wells Fargo sent me an email saying they will be on a new system….updating starting September 25th.
Member: Pnc bank told me they are preparing and will call me when they are redeeming
Member: I'm getting Chase Wealth Management emails at least once a week.
Member: my Key Bank was installing a new ATM machine yesterday
MZ: this is getting interesting. A number of banks are now admitting they will be working with dinar in a limited fashion. They have not said what that is….but these are banks that said they would never touch it.
Member: A wealth transfer and a health transfer coming our way!!
Member: IMO there is a lot going on behind the scenes….they just need to bring it all out into the public.
Member: Hope everyone has a blessed day and weekend!!!
