The 1866 Banking Collapse Nobody Knows About (But Should) | When "Too Big To Fail" Actually Failed
The Timeless Investor: 9-26-2025
The BIGGEST bank in the world collapsed in 12 hours.
Over 200 companies failed. Global markets crashed. Yet almost nobody today has heard of Black Friday 1866 - the banking disaster that created modern finance as we know it.
Overend, Gurney & Company wasn't just big. They were THE lender of last resort before central banks existed.
They were considered safer than the Bank of England itself. They'd been in business for 60 years. They had just IPO'd at 9X oversubscription. Then they collapsed in a single day.
This isn't just history - it's a WARNING. The same pattern that destroyed Overend Gurney is playing out RIGHT NOW in:
Regional banks reaching for yield Private credit funds acting like banks
Short-term debt funding long-term projects
Real estate syndicators promising liquidity on illiquid assets
Learn why Silicon Valley Bank's 12-hour collapse in 2023 was identical to Overend Gurney's fall in 1866 - and what that means for YOUR investments.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, September 25th and you're listening the big call. Thanks for tuning in, wherever you're located, all around this globe. Glad that you're here. Looking forward to our call tonight,
All right, let's get into the Intel segment for tonight and I'm going to say this is amazing. Okay, we have some information that we got a little while ago that was suggesting that President Trump had made a little short video clip announcement saying that American citizens would all be very happy at the end of this month
Now, I heard him say something like that about US citizens, or American citizens would be very happy soon. And I think he was referring to by the end of this month, which is what we've been hearing, right?
We've been hearing by the end of this month, we heard we could get some action over this weekend, we've had a couple of real high up sources in our number one bank and in redemption centers, from our contact from Treasury, that's saying, you know, be prepared for something that something to start for us. And I'm taking that to mean notifications. By the end of this week, I'm going to say weekend, not, you know, Saturday, Sunday is the weekend, and maybe we do get something over the weekend.
Maybe we start with notifications by or on the weekend, but we have heard that we should get everything, and we're looking for by or before the end of this month? Well, the month end is Tuesday. That's the 30th of September. The first of October is Wednesday. So we are closing in on it even as we speak with this being Thursday, the 25th
So let's look at it this way. We're almost to the end, and let's talk about what else we have heard that is really interesting. Two other two other things that I think are very important in terms of what we're waiting for.
We heard that our quantum accounts, and these are the accounts you remember that we access with our quantum card that will be issued to us at the redemption center. Okay, remember what we should have in those quantum accounts that would be loaded up this Sunday night over the weekend. Let's call it Sunday evening to Sunday night.
We're supposed to have our Doge payments in there, our R & R restitution and reconciliation allowance in there, and we're supposed to have our Tariff dividends in that account.
Now they're calling zim holders sovereigns. They know pretty much who the Zim holders are, or who the sovereigns are, and I'm sure that they have set and set aside enough money for the Zim to be redeemed.
Now that money, essentially is set aside, but it's not in our quantum account, yet, because we have to bring this in, into the redemption center to redeem it, as well as the rest of our currencies, dinar, dong, rupiah, Afghani, and all the other currencies that are going up in value that many of us have, like the Venezuelan Bolivar or is another good one
So when we do our exchange and our redemption of zim at the redemption centers, that total will go into our quantum account. Then we move what we need for 60 to 90 days. I've heard 60, I've heard 90. I'm going to say 60 to 90 days. Move what we think we need into our primary wells, Fargo account.
And then if we set up such accounts, we can move some of that money in a few days later, but making that first deposit, if you will, into our into our primary bank account with Wells, we do that based on what we anticipate we need for the first 60 to 90 days.
Now. Why that period of time we're under an NDA for 60 to 90 days, they want to see how we utilize it, how we spend it, make sure it's going to the proper causes and not to some nefarious group. Okay, that's why they're watching us, to see how that goes. And then after 60 days, maybe 90, but 60 to 90 days after that, we should be able to move as much as we want into our primary wells account.
And you can also attach other banks to your quantum card. Doesn't have to be only Wells. I'm going to attach one or two other banks to that quantum account, so I can move funds into those other banks.
Okay, all right, that's, that's one little thing that we're looking for to occur. I don’t think we will see until we go in for our exchange, but it will take place Sunday night.
All right, let's see the other thing. All right, I'm going to talk about this a second that’s a really big deal though -- to get those accounts hydrated with money from Doge, from R & R also from tariff dividends. That is huge.
And the tariff dividends we're talking about, I believe, is referring to an account in the treasury that was $150 trillion balance that we had to work with for that. Now that may include be more than just tariff dividends. I would think it would be, but it was 150 trillion really hard for him to say it at least twice.
I mentioned on the call the last, I think it was last Tuesday and the previous Thursday, maybe. So that's a huge balance to work with to start with.
All right, here's the other thing that I was looking for, we understand from a source that we have, which is working with the Treasury. That is saying, Remember, I told you guys for at least a month now that I'm hearing that NESARA and GESARA will begin implementation on October first, which is Wednesday.
Okay, a week from yesterday, this coming Wednesday is October 1. Now here's, here's the thing I heard today that with NESARA and GESARA which is the Global Economic Security and Recovery Act that we would get it rolled out, meaning NESARA for the US. NESARA rolled out from October 1 through the end of the year, which is December 31 so three months, we should have everything in NESARA at least announced and rolled out to where we understand what it includes.
And I have heard from a source which is working with the Treasury that our, he believes that our
okay. It's called, not the VAP, that's your term for value added tax, but our consumption tax would start on October 1.
Now, why did that happen on October 1? I have another source that's talking about it, starting in his opinion, January 1. I like the concept of October 1 for one reason, because if we bring out NESARA, our new USN currency, right, digital and the physical money folding money around October 1, are we essentially letting the USA Inc go in favor of the restored Republic?
To start on October 1, which remember, is the start of the US, fiscal, fiscal, not physical - fiscal FIS CAL Fiscal year starts October 1. But would you want to start the new year with a new system, with a new money, with NESARA? I would think so.
Which NESARA includes the consumption tax, which is something is something that takes away all the other taxes, income taxes, property taxes, you know, real estate, all those things, it should it should eliminate all of those in favor of a tax around 14 or 50% on new items, and the tax is inborted – meaning included in the price of goods - around 14 or 15% on new items, and the cap is inboarded, meaning included in the price of goods.
Inboarded in goods that you buy does not include anything that's used - used homes, used furniture, used whatever that you buy would not have that tax included. Should not be on food, like groceries. It may still be on restaurant checks.
However, I'm not sure that, because that sometimes is considered a service. Remember the old days when a service was not to be taxed? Remember only a product but not a service? Well, they changed that on us years ago. So I don't know how they're going to treat restaurant food. Okay, restaurant food and drink. I'm not sure. Whatever it is, we'll be able to afford. It doesn't really matter.
But if NESARA / GESARA does kick off on Wednesday, October 1, we could just start with the consumption tax starting on that day. And I don't know this is just a theory that I have because of the idea of starting off with a restored Republic, you know, without the old system.
And what about this continuing resolution concept to continue the government? Why don't we just let the government shut down at the end of this month, this fiscal year, and start back up on October 1 with the restored Republic, which you guys got to realize. I told you guys this on Tuesdays, our new US Treasury has gazillions and gazillions of dollars, new dollars USN already.
I mean, guys, you have no idea how much currency has been seized. Homes have been seized. Other items have been seized. Bonds have been seized. People that have tried to take advantage and game system but doing it illegally, have been picked up and arrested, and their stuff has been seized. It is now property of your new US Treasury. I mean, it's loaded, loaded for bear, and I'm excited about where we're going now.
What does that mean for our notifications? Could we get notified over the weekend and start Monday or Tuesday? I don’t know - I mean, we're supposed to be happy, or I'm not trying to move this out. Guys, you know me, I don't do that. But is it possible we get notified around Monday or Tuesday and begin exchanges on the first of October in the new system, using the USN and the restored Republic and NESARA?
I don't know. It's only a thought. It's just a theory. I don't know that. Nobody's telling me that yet, so we'll see how that goes.
We're looking really good, a week away, or less than a week, even if it does start October 1, we think it's going to start for us in some form, which should be, which should be, notifications by the end of this month, maybe by the weekend. You don't know, we just it's not 100% clearer.
We're hearing things that say weekend, end of the month, either way, it's only couple days apart. So I'm excited. That's what I want to bring to you guys tonight. And let's say, first of all, if anybody you're reading puts down the concept of redemption centers, don't read it. It's just a lie. It's not true.
Redemption centers are live and well, we know a dozen people that are the leaders of redemption centers. Some of them are over six or seven. Some of them are over one. They just, it just depends, but we just know. We just know the people that are the heads of the leaders, and a lot of the people that that are going there, so all of that is absolutely real. They're ready for us. They're all trained up and ready for us to go there. All right, so that's what I want to do tonight.
I want to say thank you to everybody that supports the big call in terms of GCK and Doug and Pastor Scott and Jeannie and the satellite team. Thank you. Obviously sue for doing these teachings, bringing these cool segments and just being the light of the big call and Bob, wow. What a treat in this segment about energy and mitochondria and about just everything.
So thank you big call universe for listening and being part of this call for 14 years. Let's see what happens over the weekend, see if we're see what we have by Tuesday, which is the last day this month, the 30th five days from now.
Okay. Meanwhile, I look forward to what could be a really strong weekend, or it could be a great end of the month. She does Okay? Could be both.
Well, thanks everybody for listening again. Appreciate it. Let's see what happens, and we'll more than likely talk to you Tuesday. All right. Have a great weekend, everybody.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS mBridge Project: What It Is & How It Could Shift Dollar Dominance
Project mBridge signals a quietly growing infrastructure that may undercut the dollar’s power in cross-border finance, shaping the financial realignment now underway.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS mBridge Project: What It Is & How It Could Shift Dollar Dominance
Project mBridge signals a quietly growing infrastructure that may undercut the dollar’s power in cross-border finance, shaping the financial realignment now underway.
What Is Project mBridge and Its Progre
Launched in 2021, Project mBridge is a multi-central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform led by the BIS Innovation Hub, China’s Digital Currency Institute, the Central Bank of UAE, Bank of Thailand, and Hong Kong Monetary Authority; Saudi Arabia joined as full participant in June 2024. BIS, CoinDesk
As of mid-2024, the project reached its Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage. Founding central banks have each deployed validating nodes; commercial banks are processing real-value cross-border transactions. Finance Middle East, BIS, BIS
The system uses its own blockchain (mBridge Ledger), supports wholesale CBDCs for cross-border payments, foreign exchange, and settlement with reduced reliance on intermediaries. BIS, Forbes
Key Technical & Functional Features
Real-value transactions in pilot: In 2022, commercial banks across four jurisdictions (China, Hong Kong, Thailand, UAE) conducted transactions totalling over $22 million in value, over various foreign exchange and payment operations. BIS,BIS
Governance & Legal Framework: A bespoke rulebook and legal structure has been developed to accommodate decentralized node operations, cross-jurisdiction regulation, and compliance norms. BIS
Observation & expansion: Over 30 institutions (central banks, commercial banks) are observers to mBridge. Several have expressed interest in joining or developing use cases. OMFIF, BIS, Central Banking
Risks, Uncertainties & Political Overtone
BIS’s Departure: The BIS announced in late 2024 that it would remove itself from “active participation,” not due to failure, but because it believes partner central banks are ready to carry on independently and the project has matured to that point. Reuters
Geopolitical sensitivity: Observers warn that even though BIS claims project is not designed to sidestep sanctions, its capabilities (bypassing SWIFT, enabling non-dollar settlement) make it of interest to countries seeking alternatives to Western financial hegemony. Finance Magnates, Financial Times, OMFIF
How mBridge Fits into Global Finance Restructuring
Dollar alternatives and de-dollarization: By enabling payments and settlements directly via wholesale CBDCs, mBridge helps reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar and the SWIFT network. This aligns with BRICS and other emerging economies trying to build parallel systems. Financial Times, BIS
Efficiency, cost, inclusion: Existing cross-border systems are slow, expensive, fragmented. mBridge aims to cut costs, speed up settlement, and make payments more accessible especially for countries underserved by correspondent banking. Finance Middle East, PYMNTS.com
Structural leverage: The legal, governance, and infrastructural backbone being built could become standards: which currencies, which nodes, who validates, which rules. Whoever shapes those standards gains leverage in global finance.
Why This Matters
mBridge isn’t just another fintech pilot—it represents a real shift in how cross-border value might move in the coming decade. If fully operational:
Participating countries could settle trade and finance outside of dollar dominance.
Institutions (central and commercial) would gain new infrastructure that bypasses traditional western messaging and clearing networks.
The narrative of alternatives to U.S. monetary leverage becomes more concrete, not theoretical.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Fri. 26 September 2025
Compiled Fri. 26 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Summary:
Compiled by Judy Byington, MSW, LCSW, Therapist ret, Journalist, and Author, this update paints a picture of profound transformation that began with “THE FINAL PHASE (allegedly) BEGINS” on Thursday, September 25, 2025. This isn’t just a system upgrade; it’s a complete paradigm shift.
NESARA and GESARA are(allegedly) INITIATED! This means the debt era is(allegedly) officially over, the fraudulent banking system is being dismantled, and a new, gold-backed currency is (allegedly) being introduced. Imagine a world where your debts are erased, where financial institutions are no longer the gatekeepers of your prosperity, and where your money holds tangible value. This is the promise of NESARA/GESARA, and its activation marks the beginning of true financial liberation.
The QFS is FULLY OPERATIONAL! This is the game-changer. With the QFS, manipulation (allegedly) becomes a relic of the past. We are talking about total financial transparency, providing clarity and security that has been sorely lacking. And with this transparency comes the end of the Federal Reserve (allegedly) as we know it, signaling the dismantling of centralized control and paving the way for a decentralized, equitable financial future.
Operation White Swan is in motion. As reported by Charlie Ward and friends, the QFS integration is nearing saturation. As of September 20th, an astonishing 91% of SWIFT corridors are(allegedly) under surveillance, with active QFS nodes established in key nations like the U.S., Brazil, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, and Argentina. This widespread integration signifies the rapid and irreversible nature of this financial revolution.
The final hurdles are being cleared. Mike Bara reported a 99% probability of the reset completing by the end of Thursday, September 25, 2025, and a 100% chance by Monday. The long-standing hold-up, Venezuela, has reportedly been “cleared,” meaning the Bolivar is back in play with the potential for higher rates.
For those in Tier 4b (“friends”), private exchanges have (allegedly) been active. Invitations are (allegedly) being extended via an 800 number or secure link, and crucially, rates are being locked. This is a crucial step, ensuring that individuals who have been patiently waiting are now (allegedly) securing favorable exchange rates before the public phase.
Bruce from The Big Call has also shared encouraging news. President Trump himself has released a video suggesting that Americans will be “very happy at the end of this month” (by Wednesday, September 30th). Multiple sources, including bank and Treasury contacts, indicate preparedness for something significant to begin by the end of this weekend. Get ready for your Quantum accounts to be (allegedly) loaded with DOGE payments, R&R payments, and tariff dividends as early as Sunday evening. And for the Zimbabwe bondholders, you are now recognized as “Sovereigns.”
As of September 25, 2025, the QFS is not just operational; it’s (allegedly) actively unlocking accounts and distributing wealth. The Gazetteller reports that the QFS rollout is outpacing the globalists’ ability to react.
While early adopters, military retirees, and humanitarian operators are already experiencing live transactions, the system is (allegedly) undergoing final synchronization with worldwide biometric verification. GESARA’s enforcement is palpable, leading to debt forgiveness, asset redistribution, and the dismantling of traditional banking structures.
But what is this new currency and system? SHI (Sovereign Human Initiative) is a gold-backed, (allegedly) DNA-linked digital currency operating on the QFS. Each SHI account is intrinsically tied to your biometric Quantum Access Card, verified through secure quantum nodes. This makes SHI completely (allegedly) manipulation-proof, ensuring only authorized individuals can access and transact. It replaces fiat currencies within the QFS ecosystem, facilitating real-time, transparent financial operations and ensuring wealth previously hoarded by elites is now securely distributed under GESARA protocols.
White Hat insiders confirm: This activation is(allegedly) quantum-secure, gold-backed, and identity-linked. Any attempt to bypass or share activation codes risks permanent account lock. However, those who follow the proper procedures may see their frozen fiat balances immediately converted into SHI, ready for GESARA-enforced wealth redistribution.
President Trump is(allegedly) reportedly signing daily executive orders to expedite the release of QFS, GESARA, and SHI. While the public rollout awaits final biometric integration and military-enforced compliance, early activations are undergoing secure, quiet testing.
QFS engineers are (allegedly) working around the clock on quantum reconciliation and auditing, while military forces ensure global adherence to GESARA mandates. SHI wallets are being activated securely, verified through quantum nodes and biometric checks.
The financial reset is (allegedly) unstoppable. The Federal Reserve is being (allegedly) dismantled, globalist assets are being(allegedly) seized, and the QFS is(allegedly) live for those ready to claim their rightful SHI accounts. The concept of being not just a participant but fully equipped, mentally and biologically, to engage with this revolutionary system is paramount.
Trump, the military alliance, and QFS engineers are on the cusp of completing their mission: freedom, financial sovereignty, and wealth restoration are imminent.
As reported by ShelbyMac2.0, the QFS is actively flipping the financial system. 91% of SWIFT corridors are now under QFS surveillance. National treasuries in the U.S., Brazil, India, Hungary, Kazakhstan, and Argentina are(allegedly) live on quantum rails.
An incredible $112 trillion in internal assets have been seized since June alone. Central banks are being drained and neutralized algorithmically, and the IRS server nodes have been reduced to a mere 7%, all under military control.
The future is here. The old system is crumbling. Prepare for a world where financial power is returned to the people. The Quantum Financial System has (allegedly) arrived, and with it, the promise of a brighter, more equitable financial future for all.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: TV has special saying Iraq boosting the value of the dinar and has the highest reserve supply of gold in the history of Iraq. FRANK: That backup is the change in your exchange rate and that change in your exchange rate is to add purchasing power, to add value to your currency...We have landed on the surface of a new planet called the Iraqi monetary reform and We're taking our first step for your purchasing power.
Militia Man Why do I bring up oil and non-oil revenues? Because back in a previous era, the real value of the currency was based off oil...Now they've included all this new non-oil revenues. They've paid off debt. They've clawed back money. They're going to increase flow to Europe though Turkey...They have about $16 trillion worth of natural resources that include phosphates, silica, gold, all these different things. Think about that when you think about a real effective exchange rate.

Member: Any Reno or bond news please? TY
Member: (From Dinar Guru) Mnt Goat I need all my readers to see a correlation here. It is between when the news comes out for what we want (the RV process beginning) compared to the news that comes out about accomplishing these five areas of concern...(1) Oil and Gas Law (2) Banking Reform Plan (3) Expulsion of PMP [Popular Mobilization Forces] (4) Parallel Market (5) Project to Delete the Zeros... Then the closer these concerns go to getting resolved, the more amazing the news for us...It is all nothing but amazing for Iraq.
MZ: I couldn’t agree more.
MZ: Oil should start flowing by 6Am tomorrow morning
Member: 6:00 am in Iraq would be 10:00 pm tonight for us on East Coast?
Member: Shatari, director general of Iraq's SOMO, will hold a press conference at 5pm (Baghdad time) on Friday regarding the resumption of the Kurdistan Region's oil exports
MZ: Reuters is even reporting on this: “ Iraqi PM confirms agreement with Kurdish region to resume oil exports”
Member: Is there any speculation how long after oil flows they pull the RV switch???
MZ: I do not know how quickly after oil starts flowing- that we get a rate….Its my understanding they still have to finish the rest of the HCL. But I do believe we just crossed our biggest hurdle.
Member: do you think we will go if they sign the HCL?
MZ: I think we go about the same time..In the past I was told we should go within 3 days of the HCL being passed.
Member: Still hoping Vietnam goes when Iraq goes.
Member: Vietnam does a lot of trading with Iraq so they would have to rv together relatively at the same time
MZ: IMO They will go at exactly the same time.
Member: We just may be hitting $46 silver before the hour is out!!
Member: Apmex has Silver at $46.01
Member: Other gurus keep saying there will be no 800 numbers or redemption centers.
Member: With an estimated 3 million Americans going to need to set an appointment for a Redemption Center to Exchange / Redeem, the only way to make it work is by a Call Center (#800 Number)
Member: All banks and other companies use 800 numbers for most customer service……it’s the most logical and convenient way to do things.
Member: And redemption centers are located in banks……With trained employees and equipment to exchange foreign currency.
Member: I had the impression that the redemption banks would be the Private Bank sections for high net worth individuals, meaning not every branch but only those that deal with wealthy clients

In a significant development, international oil companies operating in Iraqi Kurdistan have reached a preliminary deal with both the Iraqi federal and Kurdish regional governments to restart oil exports. This move comes after extensive negotiations, according to an IOC statement seen by Reuters.
The agreed-upon framework will enable exports to resume "in the coming days" following its official signing and implementation. However, oil companies DNO and its partner Genel Energy have yet to formalize their participation, as reported by a reliable source with direct information on the matter.
The agreement, once fully executed, will facilitate the flow of approximately 230,000 barrels of crude daily through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, a crucial artery that has been non-operational since March 2023. Efforts to reach DNO and Genel Energy for comments were not immediately successful. link

Tishwash: Miles Caggins: The Kurdistan Regional Government will export 230,000 barrels of oil per day.
Miles Caggins, spokesman for the Kurdistan Region's Petroleum Industry Association (APICOR), said on Thursday that today is a very important day. An agreement has been signed to resume oil exports, and the process is scheduled to begin in the next few days.
In an interview with Kurdistan 24, he added that exports are expected to begin within two or three days.
He pointed out that, according to the agreement, the Kurdistan Regional Government will export 230,000 barrels of oil per day through SOMO, while 50,000 to 60,000 barrels will be allocated for domestic consumption.
In the same context, the Kurdistan Region's Oil Industry Association (APICOR) said on Thursday that resuming oil exports from the region will contribute to strengthening global energy markets.
On the occasion of the tripartite agreement to resume exports, the association commended, in a statement, Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and Federal Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.
APICORP emphasized that the resumption of Kurdistan Region oil exports will benefit all Iraqis and will play a role in supporting the position of global energy markets. It is expected that exports will begin within the next few days.
The Federal Ministry of Oil announced today, Thursday, an agreement stipulating the commencement of pumping and delivering all crude oil produced from the Kurdistan Region's fields, except for the quantities allocated for domestic consumption, to the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), which will export it via the Iraq-Turkey pipeline via the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
The ministry indicated that the agreement was concluded in accordance with the approved legal procedures, the constitution, the provisions of the Federal General Budget Law, and Federal Court decisions.
The Ministry reiterated its unwavering commitment to managing oil resources in accordance with the principles of national sovereignty and the country's supreme interest, ensuring a fair distribution of wealth among all Iraqis, in accordance with the constitution. link

Vietnamese President Lương Cường and his Iraqi counterpart Abdul Latif Rashid praised the progress of their countries’ long-standing friendship during a meeting in New York on the morning of Wednesday (local time).
The event took place on the sidelines of the High-Level General Debate of the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly and bilateral activities in the US.
President Cường affirmed that Việt Nam always treasures and wishes to strengthen multifaceted cooperation with Iraq, particularly in the areas of economy, trade, culture, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges.
He proposed increasing delegation exchanges, especially business missions, to explore cooperation opportunities in potential sectors and boost access to the Halal market.
He also expressed his hope that Iraq will create favourable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to invest in areas aligned with Iraq’s reconstruction needs.
For his part, the Iraqi leader expressed admiration for Việt Nam’s achievements in national development, stressing that Iraq views Việt Nam as an important partner and wishes to advance cooperation in economy, trade, investment, water management, agriculture, and infrastructure development serving its reconstruction.
Both sides agreed to further improve the effectiveness of existing bilateral cooperation mechanisms, and consider the establishment of new ones and the signing of agreements in potential sectors.
On this occasion, the two leaders also consented to step up cooperation and mutual support at multilateral forums.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 9-26-25
Fair Distribution Of Wealth
Politics / Economy / Special Files Today| 274 After Years Of Conflict, Baghdad And Erbil Turn The Page On Oil Disputes With A Comprehensive Agreement. What Next? - Urgent
Baghdad Today – Baghdad After more than 18 years of disputes over the oil file between Baghdad and Erbil, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) President Masrour Barzani announced a historic agreement under which the federal Ministry of Oil will hand over full control of the region's exports to the federal Ministry of Oil, which will be exported through the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO)
Fair Distribution Of Wealth
Politics / Economy / Special Files Today| 274 After Years Of Conflict, Baghdad And Erbil Turn The Page On Oil Disputes With A Comprehensive Agreement. What Next? - Urgent
Baghdad Today – Baghdad After more than 18 years of disputes over the oil file between Baghdad and Erbil, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) President Masrour Barzani announced a historic agreement under which the federal Ministry of Oil will hand over full control of the region's exports to the federal Ministry of Oil, which will be exported through the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO).
This announcement, described by al-Sudani as a long-awaited achievement and by Barzani as a historic step that will restore the region to global markets, sparked widespread reactions, with experts viewing it as a fundamental shift in the management of national wealth and a reshaping of the relationship between the central government and the region.
Oil and economic expert Ahmed Askar told Baghdad Today, "The announcement of a historic agreement between the federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government regarding the transfer of the region's oil exports to the federal Ministry of Oil represents a fundamental shift in the management of national wealth."
According to economic analysis, the agreement goes beyond regulating the export mechanism, but also lays the foundation for a long-term partnership between Baghdad and Erbil based on the constitution and applicable laws.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani described the agreement in a tweet on Twitter as an achievement Iraq has been waiting for for 18 years, emphasizing that it includes "the fair distribution of wealth, diversification of export outlets, and investment encouragement."
He emphasized that it opens the door to a new phase of unified oil decision-making and increased federal revenues.
For his part, Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani affirmed that the agreement is a "historic step" that removes one of the most significant obstacles to securing financial dues for the people of Kurdistan. He noted that it restores the region to global markets and emphasizes the need to adhere to constitutional rights.
These statements reflected a rare consensus in rhetoric between Baghdad and Erbil on an issue that has remained a symbol of chronic disagreements for years.
Askar explained that "this agreement opens the door to addressing one of the most complex issues that have remained unresolved for many years between the central government and the region, and establishes a new phase of cooperation based on the constitution and applicable laws, ensuring a fair distribution of revenues and protecting the rights of all Iraqis."
Historically, Kurdish oil has been a source of conflict since 2005, with the region insisting on its right to export independently via Turkey, while Baghdad rejected this route as an encroachment on the central government's authority. The 2023 international arbitration ruling to halt exports via Ankara constituted a major pressure point that prompted the acceleration of negotiations that led to the current agreement.
Askar added, "Unifying oil policy will contribute to strengthening financial and economic stability, increasing Iraq's negotiating power in global markets, and enhancing trust between Baghdad and Erbil, which will positively impact the investment environment and the national economy in general."
Research estimates indicate that the absence of a unified position has cost Iraq significant losses in its negotiating power with international partners, while the current agreement opens the door to an Iraq better able to attract investment and ensure longer-term financial stability.
However, Askar stressed at the same time that "the serious and transparent implementation of this agreement will be the true measure of its success.
This requires strong political will and careful professional oversight to ensure that oil resources are a tool for state-building, not a source of renewed controversy." Comparative experience shows that any oil agreement of this type remains at risk of failure unless it is implemented with high professionalism and protected from political manipulation.
It becomes clear that the recent oil agreement between Baghdad and Erbil is no longer merely a technical settlement, but rather a political and institutional transformation that reorganizes the relationship along constitutional lines and establishes a long-awaited national oil partnership.
Statements by al-Sudani and Barzani confirmed that the political will is present, but the real challenge lies in transparent implementation and ensuring the equitable distribution of wealth. If the experiment succeeds, the agreement could mark the beginning of a new phase of economic and political stability in Iraq.
However, if it falters, the issue will return to the cycle of disputes that have plagued the country since 2005. Source: Baghdad Today + Agencies https://baghdadtoday.news/283931-.html
Al-Sudani's Advisor: Iraq Is Experiencing A Rare "Price Boom" In Its Modern Economic History.
Energy and Business Shafaq News – Baghdad The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, revealed on Thursday that Iraq is experiencing a rare "price boom" unprecedented in its modern economic history. This boom is driven by low inflation rates, a remarkably stable exchange rate, and improved unemployment rates, all due to effective coordination between monetary, fiscal, and trade policies.
Saleh told Shafaq News Agency, "The inflation rate in Iraq has remained below 3% over the past three years, which is a low rate compared to what the country has experienced previously or what neighboring countries are witnessing."
The government advisor attributed this success to "the cautious monetary policy pursued by the Central Bank of Iraq, in coordination with fiscal and trade policies, which contributed to maintaining the purchasing power of the dinar."
He explained that "unemployment rates fell from 17% to 14% in a relatively short period, supported by economic policies aimed at stimulating the agriculture, investment, and trade sectors, while supporting local production played a direct role in creating new job opportunities."
Regarding the dollar exchange rate, Saleh explained that "the official rate of 1,320 dinars has maintained its stability, which has helped calm markets and limit the role of the parallel market, thereby reducing import costs and limiting price pressures on consumers."
He stressed that "fiscal policy played a pivotal role in controlling prices, with approximately 25% of the general budget (equivalent to 13% of GDP) allocated to support agricultural products, the food and medicine basket, fuel, and electricity, in addition to tax and customs exemptions, which eased the direct burden on citizens."
Within the framework of trade policy, Saleh pointed to the establishment of a network of cooperative-price stores (consumer and construction) that would help break monopolies and provide direct alternatives for goods, as part of what he described as "price defense," an effective tool for regulating markets and preventing unjustified price increases, according to the spokesman.
Despite the positive signs, the financial advisor warned of a potential challenge at this stage: "Commodity leakage across borders, due to price differences between the subsidized Iraqi market and neighboring markets. This requires tightening customs and trade controls without harming legitimate trade."
Saleh concluded that "the current 'price boom' Iraq is witnessing, a rare phenomenon in its modern economic history, must be built upon by rationalizing support and directing it toward productive sectors to achieve sustainable development, rather than relying solely on stability and consumption."

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Trump Draws Line: No West Bank Annexation for Israel
Trump’s rejection of annexation signals both geopolitical pressure and financial recalibration, tying peace to the foundations of global restructuring.
Trump’s Firm Declaration
U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a clear message on September 25, 2025: he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank, defying the demands of far-right members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Trump Draws Line: No West Bank Annexation for Israel
Trump’s rejection of annexation signals both geopolitical pressure and financial recalibration, tying peace to the foundations of global restructuring.
Trump’s Firm Declaration
U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a clear message on September 25, 2025: he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank, defying the demands of far-right members of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition.
“Not going to happen” — From the Oval Office, Trump stated: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.” [Reuters]
“Time to stop now” — He added: “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”
This puts Trump directly at odds with Netanyahu’s coalition, where annexation has become a rallying cry — especially following recent moves by France and other Western countries to recognize a Palestinian state [NYT].
Context and Regional Pressure
Arab leaders’ influence: Trump’s declaration followed private assurances he made to Arab and Muslim leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. Officials reportedly warned that annexation would jeopardize regional stability and block future integration with Israel [Politico].
International Court of Justice: In July 2024, the ICJ ruled Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal, increasing global legal and diplomatic pressure on Israel.
U.S. leverage: As Israel’s closest ally, the U.S. remains one of the only nations with real leverage to block annexation. Observers question, however, whether Trump’s stance will remain firm [Al Jazeera].
Strategic Calculations
Netanyahu’s bind: Netanyahu must balance between his far-right coalition partners demanding annexation and the U.S. position that firmly blocks it.
Trump’s peace agenda: This statement aligns with Trump’s push for a 21-point regional peace plan to end the war in Gaza and establish a framework for postwar governance.
Signal to financial reset watchers: Just as Jim Pugh recently noted in reset discussions — peace is the “long pole in the tent” before financial restructuring can move forward — Trump’s rejection of annexation is not just political. It is about creating the geopolitical stability required for economic and monetary realignment.
Why This Matters
Trump’s decision highlights how geopolitics and financial restructuring are inseparably linked:
Peace as a prerequisite: Blocking annexation is part of ensuring the region moves toward peace treaties — which reset analysts say are essential before any global monetary reset can proceed.
Regional integration = trade flows: If Israel can stabilize ties with Arab neighbors, trade, investment, and resource allocation in the Middle East become more predictable — a necessary step for capital flows in a tokenized, asset-backed system.
Dollar leverage at work: The U.S. is using political influence to maintain its strategic foothold in the Middle East, reinforcing the dollar’s role as tokenization and stablecoin regulation advance globally.
“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”

Trump–Erdogan Talks: Turkey at the Center of Sanctions, Oil, and Global Realignment
The White House meeting underscored how U.S.–Turkey relations intersect energy security, defense sales, and the financial restructuring now reshaping global power.
Sanctions Relief and F-35s Back on the Table
President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met in Washington on September 25, 2025, marking Erdogan’s first White House visit in six years. Trump suggested he may lift U.S. sanctions on Turkey “almost immediately” if Ankara halts Russian oil purchases, paving the way for Turkey’s potential re-entry into the F-35 fighter jet program. Reuters
The move represents a sharp reversal of earlier policy, where Turkey was expelled in 2019 after acquiring Russian S-400 missile systems. Erdogan framed the meeting as “conclusive,” while Trump indicated that Ankara could soon access advanced U.S. defense hardware once again. Politics Today
Russian Oil Purchases at the Core
At the heart of the talks was Turkey’s role as one of the largest buyers of Russian energy. Trump pressed Erdogan to cut these imports, presenting it as a way to undermine Moscow’s war financing while simultaneously strengthening U.S.–Turkey ties.
Although Turkey recently inked a 20-year LNG deal with U.S. supplier Mercuria, it remains heavily reliant on Russian oil and gas. Erdogan’s willingness to diversify reflects the strategic balancing act between East and West. Atlantic Council
Middle East, Syria, and Gaza as Leverage Points
Beyond oil and defense, Trump and Erdogan also discussed conflicts in Syria and Gaza, with Trump signaling that Erdogan could serve as an intermediary in Ukraine peace efforts. Both leaders emphasized their renewed alignment on Syria, reversing tensions from earlier years. Brookings
Why This Matters: Energy and Finance Intertwined
Turkey’s position illustrates how geopolitical bargaining over oil, arms, and sanctions is directly shaping the global financial restructuring. Ankara’s choices ripple through:
Dollar hegemony – Will Turkey pivot toward U.S. LNG and defense deals, reinforcing Washington’s influence?
BRICS alternatives – Or will Turkey hedge by maintaining Russian oil ties, deepening its energy and trade links with Eurasian powers?
This episode highlights the fragility of U.S. dominance and how energy flows, sanctions relief, and military sales are becoming financial levers in the global order.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Trump and Pakistan: A Strategic Reset at the Edge of Energy and Finance
Trump’s outreach to Islamabad signals a deeper recalibration: holding Pakistan in the balance between dollar-based alliances and emerging non-Western financial orders.
Sharif’s White House Visit and U.S.–Pakistan Rapprochement
President Donald Trump hosted Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House on September 25, 2025, marking a thaw in U.S.–Pakistan relations. The meeting underscored Washington’s renewed interest in Pakistan’s strategic value. AP News, Reuters
Sharif used the visit to pitch American investment in key sectors—energy, agriculture, tech, and mining—inviting U.S. firms to tap Pakistan’s untapped potential. Reuters, The Indian Express
Energy Deals & Export Leverage
A major opportunity lies in energy and resource diplomacy. Islamabad has long relied on oil imports and external financing, making it vulnerable to leverage.
Pakistan struck a landmark trade deal with the U.S. in July 2025 to develop its oil reserves and reduce tariffs, aligning Islamabad more closely with U.S. energy interests. AP News
During his visit, Sharif emphasized both energy and mining as pillars for renewed U.S.-led investment. AP News, Al Jazeera, Indiatimes
Crucially, on September 8, Islamabad signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with a U.S.-based firm to develop critical minerals and rare earth elements, framed as strategic assets for both parties. Al Jazeera
These steps suggest Pakistan is repositioning itself from being a resource consumer to a supplier in the U.S.-influenced global resource network—altering the flow of capital, energy, and leverage.
Defense, Security & Regional Mediation
The Trump–Sharif meeting also addressed security cooperation and regional mediation:
They discussed counterterrorism and security alignment, reinforcing Pakistan’s role as a regional partner. AP News
Sharif praised Trump’s mediation during recent India–Pakistan tensions and invited the U.S. to play a bigger diplomatic role in South Asia. AP News, AP News
Importantly, Pakistan may leverage its strategic weight in the Middle East and South Asia, offering Turkey-like potential as a mediator in Gaza, Syria, and the Indo-Pacific.
This engagement signals a shift: diplomatic influence is being balanced with resource and financial alignment, not just military dependence.
Between Dollar and De-Dollarization
Where Pakistan sets itself in this moment may determine its financial trajectory:
If Islamabad doubles down on U.S. energy, defense, and resource deals, it re-enters the dollar-aligned orbit with renewed leverage from Washington.
But the push to develop critical minerals and rare earths hints at an alternate path: integrate into non-dollar, resource-backed networks leveraged by China, Russia, or BRICS actors.
Pakistan’s pivot can influence whether it becomes a node in the new financial infrastructure emerging outside U.S. hegemony.
This choice is not just economic—it is deeply financial.
Why This Matters
The Trump–Pakistan meeting is more than diplomacy. It is a move in an evolving global chessboard where energy, security, and finance intertwine. Islamabad’s alignment might tip the balance between:
Reinforcing U.S.-led global financial structures
Or accelerating a transition toward a multipolar, resource-backed order
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

CFTC Moves to Allow Stablecoins as Collateral in U.S. Derivatives Markets
With the CFTC embracing stablecoins and tokenized collateral, U.S. policy is shifting toward integrating crypto into core financial plumbing, reshaping how value is stored, settled, and regulated globally.
The Initiative: What’s Changing
The CFTC has officially launched an initiative to allow tokenized collateral (including stablecoins like USDC and Tether) for derivatives trading. CFTC
Acting Chair Caroline Pham invited public feedback, with comments open until October 20, 2025. CFTC
This builds on prior CFTC efforts—the Crypto CEO Forum, the Global Markets Advisory Committee’s (GMAC) Digital Asset Markets Subcommittee, and the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets recommendations. CFTC, Cointelegraph
Key Elements & Stakeholder Reactions
Under the proposal, stablecoins and tokenized assets could be treated similarly to cash or U.S. Treasuries when used as collateral. Cointelegraph
Industry players — including Circle, Coinbase, Ripple, Crypto.com — praised the move. They argue that stablecoin collateral will lower costs, reduce risk, and unlock liquidity in derivative markets. Cointelegraph
The push complements recently passed legislation (GENIUS Act) which regulates stablecoins and lays groundwork for their broader use in regulated financial systems. Cointelegraph
Implications:How This Fits Into Global Finance Restructuring
Efficiency & Capital Utilization — Allowing stablecoins as collateral means firms and market participants can use digital assets to free up liquidity. This could redefine margin practices, reduce friction, and shift how capital is allocated internationally.
Regulatory Recognition of Crypto’s Role — The CFTC’s move signals that stablecoins are not seen merely as speculative assets but now as infrastructural elements of finance. This adds legitimacy and encourages cross-border usage in trade, clearing, and settlement.
Competition with Alternative Financial Systems — As BRICS and other nations build out non-dollar, commodity-backed, or gold-backed systems, U.S. acceptance of tokenized collateral strengthens the dollar/crypto hybrid model. It’s part of the tug-of-war over who sets standards for global finance.
Risk & Oversight Challenges — With greater integration comes greater risk exposure: valuation, reserve backing, custody, settlement, governance of these stablecoins must be regulated tightly. Otherwise, financial stability could be compromised.
Why This Matters
This initiative by the CFTC isn’t just technical policy—it reflects a turning point. The financial order is evolving: derivatives markets may soon operate on rails that accept digital collateral; stablecoins may serve core functions in financial infrastructure; regulation is catching up to innovation.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Evening 9-25-25
Inflation Balance
Abdul Zahra Muhammad Al-Hindawi Data released by the Ministry of Planning and the Central Bank of Iraq indicate a decline in inflation rates in Iraq, both monthly and annually. Experts and economic specialists differ on the interpretation of this decline, with some viewing it as a negative indicator and others considering it a positive sign that can be built upon.
Inflation Balance
Abdul Zahra Muhammad Al-Hindawi Data released by the Ministry of Planning and the Central Bank of Iraq indicate a decline in inflation rates in Iraq, both monthly and annually. Experts and economic specialists differ on the interpretation of this decline, with some viewing it as a negative indicator and others considering it a positive sign that can be built upon.
The first group argues that a decline in inflation does not necessarily reflect a real improvement in the economic situation, but rather indicates a state of contraction and stagnation, particularly given the continued weakness of non-oil activities. Accordingly, in their view, this decline is not based on a solid production base, and its results may be limited or temporary.
The second group—and I find myself closer to this view, without claiming to be an expert or specialist—considers that the decline in inflation rates is an encouraging sign, reflecting a number of positive indicators, including the clear improvement in the value of the Iraqi dinar in recent months.
This improvement has contributed to strengthening public confidence in the national currency, reducing the tendency to acquire the dollar or gold as safe havens, and even encouraging what might be called "positive savings."
From a societal perspective, price stability, particularly for basic food commodities, sends a reassuring message to citizens and reduces their consumer concerns. Consumers are no longer forced to hoard food at home, as was the case in previous years, as its availability is now guaranteed, whether through the ration card or through imports directly linked to the official dollar exchange rate through the Central Bank's platform, independent of fluctuations in the parallel exchange rate.
Moreover, this stability in inflation rates carries an important message for investors: Iraq's economic environment is moving toward greater security, which could encourage increased investment and, consequently, stimulate the economic cycle. Conversely, this stability provides fiscal and monetary authorities with greater scope to formulate economic policies that align with development requirements and growth aspirations across various sectors.
Ultimately, Iraq's "inflation balance," despite its varying readings, reflects the fact that the number alone is insufficient to understand the economic landscape. What's more important, however, is the significance and implications it conveys, related to confidence, stability, and growth opportunities.
If these indicators continue, Iraq will have a real opportunity to establish a more balanced economic environment that reassures citizens, entices investors, and supports decision-makers https://alsabaah.iq/121017-.html
An Integrated Digital Economy In Iraq Next Year
Baghdad: Morning The Prime Minister's financial and economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, stressed the importance of the Central Bank of Iraq's announcement that cash payments will be phased out in all government institutions and other facilities in July 2026.
The Central Bank made a statement reported by Al-Sabah newspaper the day before yesterday, confirming the farewell to paper transactions in July of next year.
In a press interview, Saleh said that Iraq's farewell to cash payments in 2026 represents a major strategic step toward building an integrated digital economy that reduces corruption, enhances transparency, and encourages financial inclusion.
This shift will not simply represent a change in payment methods, but rather the beginning of a new era of financial modernity in the country.
Saleh believes that, in terms of fiscal policy, this shift will facilitate total government payments, including salaries, pensions, loans, and support, as well as the collection of wages, fees, and government taxes through faster and more accurate digital channels, all of which will enhance the liquidity and governance of the general budget.
Saleh added that this step strengthens the unified treasury account and the cash flow account for public finances, reducing the chances of emergency government borrowing. Regarding monetary policy, it strengthens the close monitoring of capital flows, giving the central bank better tools to control inflation rates and liquidity simultaneously.
The advisor pointed out that this shift will encourage citizens to embrace a culture of electronic payments and encourage unbanked individuals to join the banking system, expanding the financial customer base, expanding the scope of financial inclusion and reducing the cost of cash transactions.
Economist: The Central Bank Of Iraq's Gold Reserves Have Risen To 24 Trillion Dinars.
Wednesday, September 24, 2025 | Economic Number of readings: 371 Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, announced today, Wednesday, that the gold reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq reached more than 24 trillion dinars,an annual increase of 13.3% andan increase of 135% compared to 2022.
Al-Obaidi said in a statement that the Central Bank's gold reserves amounted to 20% of the Central Bank's total reserves,which amounted to 123 trillion Iraqi dinars.
He explained that this value is considered a record and the first time that Iraq has reached it since the establishment of the Central Bank of Iraq, asgold reserves have not exceeded the 20 trillion dinar barrier throughout the Central Bank of Iraq's operation.
This is the first time that the contribution of gold to reserves has exceeded 20% of total reserves. He stressed that the arrival of gold reserves to this level enhances the strength and value of the Iraqi dinar, especially with the fluctuations occurring in various global currencies, including the dollar.
Therefore, the Central Bank of Iraq sought to increase the percentage of its gold reserves,which is considered a safety factor in light of international financial fluctuations. https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1253445
