The Ill Gotten Gains: Bonds & The Treasury (Know What You Hold) Why This Event Is Not What You Have Been Told

Dr. Kia spoke about this and it gives insight into all the trillions that have been stored in the Philippines that are now under control of the US Treasury.

 Because I noticed people who are not doing their research are the ones always reacting to the numbers they misconstrue as yielding low ROIs because they haven’t factored in none of the information that I have shared that gives a bottom line as to how this will go.

Listen, this article will attempt to dissects the narrative embedded in The Secret Book of Redemption, that chronicles a New Jersey lawyer’s entanglement in Philippine treasure hunts tied to Ferdinand Marcos’s era, and traces its reverberations into today’s fiscal upheavals.

The book’s core revelation that Marcos’s regime funneled billions through clandestine gold caches and Federal Reserve-linked instruments mirrors the opaque mechanics driving current Zimbabwean and Iraqi currency maneuvers.

These nations stand at the precipice of revaluations not as isolated events, but as cogs in a broader recalibration toward asset-backed systems, where gold emerges as the unyielding arbiter of value.

So I will be drawing from financial insights, random accounts, and reports of state archives, as hopefully this analysis exposes the threads connecting Marcos’s plunder to the trillions poised for integration into global liquidity.

The implications are seismic for us: a return to gold-referenced stability could upend fiat dominance, rewarding those who hold and grasp the bonds and certificates underpinning it all, while ensnaring the unprepared in devaluation’s undertow.

The Secret Book of Redemption exposes the hidden mechanics of global debt redemption, drawing from the JP Morgan Blue Book of 1934, which outlines how elite banking families manipulate sovereign bonds to control currencies.

In today’s context, this ties directly to Zimbabwe’s ongoing currency turmoil, where the ZiG has lost over 40 percent of its value against the US dollar since April 2024, forcing holders of old Zimbabwean bonds and notes to confront worthless paper amid hyperinflation echoes.

Ron Giles, in his 2019 analysis on asset-backed resets, warned that such bonds lack real reserves, mirroring the scams that plagued Zimbabwe’s 2000s issuance, and now, as inflation dips to 32.7 percent in October 2025, the government clings to a multi-currency system until 2030.

 Iraq faces parallel pressures, with its dinar hovering at 1,310 to the dollar and forecasts predicting only slight depreciation to 1,318 by year’s end, yet whispers of trillions in oil-backed liquidity promise a revaluation if gold reserves solidify.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 30 Oct. 2025

Compiled Thurs. 30 Oct. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Restored Republic

Wed. 29 Oct. 2025 EMERGENCY INTEL DROP: @PaulGoldEagle

The U.S. economy is suffocating. Prices rise, the dollar weakens, and every paycheck buys less. Behind the headlines lies a deliberate collapse engineered by the same global bankers who built the system to fail. For decades, they drained nations through debt slavery and hidden off-ledger networks. That empire is now being dismantled.

ECONOMIC DECLINE BY DESIGN The so-called “recession” isn’t random — it’s control. Artificial inflation, digital illusions, and fake growth data mask a dying system. Every stimulus deepened debt, each crisis expanded elite control. The goal was a new centralized digital currency owned by them. Trump’s Alliance (allegedly) blocked that plan. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) (allegedly) replaced it.

QFS EXPANSION IS (allegedly) LIVE Quantum nodes are active:
• Fort Worth, TX – biometric command center
• Stuttgart, Germany – NATO-hardened interface
• Dubai Financial District – seized routing hub
• Iowa Quantum Hub – first verified GESARA-linked transfers

The QFS(allegedly)  bypasses all banking intermediaries. DNA-based authentication (allegedly) replaces account numbers. Transactions are(allegedly)  logged, encrypted, and immune to theft or seizure. The central banks’ levers of control are gone.

CONTROLLED COLLAPSE UNDERWAY Legacy systems are shutting down:
• SWIFT nodes are dropping offline.
• BIS audit tools return null data.
• Central banks blocked from mirror conversions.
• IMF liquidity buffers drained dry.

Banks blame “technical outages.” In reality, the plug is being pulled. Fiat grids are dying as QFS routing absorbs their flow.

TRUMP’S ALLIANCE (allegedly) CONTROLS THE RESET From Cheyenne Mountain, Trump and Gen. Eric M. Smith oversee the transition. Over $1.2 trillion in elite foundations and black trusts have (allegedly) been seized and redirected into biometric civilian accounts.

Next moves:
• Declassifying M-Alpha-1999 – evidence of 14 dynasties to sabotage QFS rollout.
• Expanding Tier-2 onboarding for GESARA civilian funding.
• Exposing Vatican Q-Ledger forks used to mimic QFS access.

THE SYSTEM THAT FED ON EVERYONE IS DYING Debt, inflation, and fiat illusions are ending. The elites are scattering, their safe havens collapsing one by one.

This is not a financial crisis — it’s liberation. The takedown continues. The silence means success. QFS is not coming. QFS is (allegedly) here.

Frank26    These lower denomination notes, they need a new rate in order to work...But the fils, they need a new rate so it's not so embarrassing.  I mean seriously, if they keep it at 1310 what would be the value of the fils?  The answer is a negative number [Because the metal of the coin itself has more value than the face value of the coin?]...The coins scream that the next step is to introduce the new exchange rate.  The coins desperately demand a new rate.

Mnt Goat    In...Iraq, the television news...has released an educational presentation that was played...on October 26th and keeps playing... This newest news shows the older historical dinar notes and coins as they too were lower denominations. But the key for us investors is why are they showing this and what’s it all about?  What I am told this latest video is doing is making a case that the CBI is bringing back these lower denominations and that we may also very well see many of these features of the notes from the past 1930’s – 1940’s on the newer lower denomination. Why these images? This was the ‘golden age’ for Iraq, get it now? That’s the point of this recent news. There is an historical presentation full of Iraq pride in their prior currency. But what was the rate back in the 1930’s and 1940’s?  ...throughout the 1930’s & 1940’s the dinar was $4.86.  WOW!

COMEX COLLAPSE: 29 MILLION Ounces VANISH in 30 Days – Silver Vaults EMPTY

Daniela Cambone:  10-29-2025

“The long-term trend can't be manipulated... but within that trend, yes, you can play games. Yes, you can manage the price,” silver expert David Morgan reveals

. In today's interview with Daniela Cambone, Morgan breaks down the most acute stress the physical silver market has seen in years, which saw 29 million ounces drained from COMEX vaults in a single month to plug a desperate shortage in London.

 He argues that while the immediate "panic has subsided," and "the worst of the squeeze appears to be behind us," this event was a critical lesson.

“There'll be a day of reckoning where the physical market takes control of the paper paradigm. And that's what we've seen this year,” he states.

Find out why he warns the system runs on “razor-thin inventories” and why this underlying issue of a “world running short of metal” means the physical reckoning is not over.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Morning 10-30-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Trump’s Trade Deals in Asia — Strategic Trade Meets Financial Settlement

Why the latest U.S. trade pacts in Asia matter for the global financial reset

Overview
Donald Trump’s recent trade agreements with Southeast Asian nations (notably Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and frameworks with Thailand) illustrate how economic diplomacy is being used to recast alliance structures in Asia — and by extension, to reposition access to global trade and financial networks. 

Key developments

• On October 26 2025, the U.S. finalised trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, covering about 68 % of U.S.–ASEAN two-way trade.

• The pacts include provisions for export-controls, investment-screening, and tariff concessions tied to broader strategic goals (implicitly directed at China). 

• The U.S. also struck a one-year trade truce with Xi Jinping’s China on the sidelines of the APEC summit (October 30 2025), easing trade-war risk and injecting new momentum into regional realignments. 

What this means for global alliances

• Trade deals as alliance currency: The U.S. uses access and concessions in trade to cement partnerships and counter competing blocs (e.g., China-ASEAN, BRICS).

• Financial settlement risk and loyalty: Countries aligned with U.S. trade architecture may gain preferential access to dollar-flows, debt markets and settlement rails — reinforcing the trade-finance-alliance triangle.

• Regional realignment: Southeast Asia may pivot from being primarily China-linked to diversifying toward U.S. and Western networks — changing trade-ecosystem risks and rewards.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Stronger U.S. trade ties with strategic partners allow the U.S. to remain central in settlement systems, yet the incentive for others to build parallel systems rises if they feel excluded.

• As trade deals are increasingly tied to economic security and tech supply-chains, settlement systems upgrade to reflect those linkages — making trade and finance inseparable in the new architecture.

• We are seeing a dual-track system: one anchored in the U.S./West trade-finance model and one emerging from Asia-Pacific/BRICS with its own rails. These trade deals sharpen the contours of that bifurcation.

Practical signals to watch

• Which nations receive settlement-rail access, swap line support or credit enhancements following trade deals.

• Whether new trade agreements explicitly mention payment-system or financial-infrastructure cooperation.

• If nations outside the U.S.–Japan–Australia bloc accelerate links with BRICS or non-U.S.-settlement networks as a hedge.

Bottom line:
Trade is not just about goods and tariffs anymore — it’s about who controls the flow of payments, access to finance and settlement networks. These Asia-Pacific deals reshape the map of alliances, and finance will follow the trade.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Jerome Powell’s Rate Cut — Monetary Shift, Global Fallout

Why the Fed’s decision matters not just for the U.S., but for the emerging global financial order

Overview
The Federal Reserve, under Chair Powell, cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 bps, bringing the federal funds rate to 3.75 %-4.00 % on October 29 2025. However, Powell signalled that further cuts are not guaranteed, injecting uncertainty into the global liquidity outlook. 

Key developments

• The second rate cut in 2025 comes amid concerns of labour-market softness and economic slowing. 

• Powell emphasised that “a further reduction of the policy rate in December is not a foregone conclusion.” 

• The Fed’s statement reaffirmed its dual mandate of maximum employment and inflation-at-2 %. 

What this means for global alliances

• Reserve-currency signalling: A U.S. rate cut weakens the dollar’s yield advantage, prompting reserve-holders and trade partners to reconsider currency-diversification and settlement-systems.

• Liquidity shifting: Lower U.S. policy rates can drive capital flows toward emerging markets — those that can offer stable settlement rails become more attractive partners.

• Monetary policy as geo-economic tool: The Fed’s stance influences global yields, funding costs and the competitive positioning of monetary blocs (U.S./G7 vs. BRICS).

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Lower U.S. rates reduce the structural advantage of dollar-funded trade and settlement systems — creating space for alternative currency systems and rails to gain traction.

• Uncertainty about future U.S. policy increases incentives for countries to seek non-dollar settlement channels and to build reserves in other currencies or hard assets.

• The link between trade/settlement infrastructure and national currency policy becomes tighter — monetary policy decisions matter for alliance structuring and settlement networks.

Practical signals to watch

• Movement in carry trades and dollar funding-cost spreads.

• Reserve-currency diversification announcements from major economies (e.g., central banks increasing non-USD holdings).

• New settlement deals in local currencies following or triggered by the Fed’s rate change.

Bottom line:
A seemingly domestic monetary policy decision — a rate cut by the Fed — is in fact a signal in the global architecture. It influences alliances, settlement rails and the balance of financial power.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Terrifying High-Tech Bank Scam Drains Your Life Savings In Seconds

Terrifying High-Tech Bank Scam Drains Your Life Savings In Seconds — and ‘devastated’ victims are sounding the alarm

Asia Grace  Mon, October 27, 2025  NY Post

Noel Phillips can’t believe he was cleaned out so quickly — and easily.

The New York millennial was bled dry earlier this year by a group of scammers who used phone number-spoofing technology — software used to misleadingly alter caller ID information — to empty his bank account, taking all of his life savings, totaling nearly $30,000.

“It’s devastating,” Phillips, 33, a journalist and an NYC transplant from London, exclusively told The Post. “I can still hear the voices of the people who called me, posing as employees of Chase Bank, claiming there had been fraudulent activity on my account.”

“They used fear tactics to basically hypnotize me into handing over all the money I’d worked so hard to earn and save over the last four years,” he added.

Deborah Moss, a 65-year-old caretaker from Northern California, was previously thunderstruck by a similar wave of devastation when an imposter targeted her, draining her Chase account of a shocking $162,000 in 2020.

“I started screaming like you wouldn’t believe,” Moss recently told The Post. “I was, like, ‘Oh, my f—king God.’ I was just hysterical. That was all my money.”

That’s the sinister trickery of business imposter scams, which have been on a steady rise, outpacing romance scams, family and friend scams and tech support scams over the past five years.

The crime now ranks as the No.1 consumer complaint of 2025, per data provided to The Post by the Federal Trade Commission.

As of late June, the FTC, which protects folks from deceptive and unjust business practices, has been inundated with over 516,000 imposter scam complaints — totaling almost $1.7 million in losses.

To get their paws on a target’s money, imposter scammers often call — or email, text or direct message — a victim, pretending to be a representative from a trusted, established company. They typically claim that there’s been some sort of privacy breach or unauthorized dealings on their account.

After spinning a falsified yarn about an alleged faux pas, the wolves in sheep’s clothing create a sense of urgency and panic about the situation, convincing their prey to hastily transfer large sums of money or divulge personal information to avoid any further malfeasance.

But in reality, they’re the bad guys, siphoning cash and info for their own greedy gain.

And imposter scammers don’t limit their villainy to masquerading as reps for financial institutions like Bank of America or TD Bank — just two of the corporations that Upper East Side granny Nina Mortellito, 86, is suing in New York state court, alleging they failed to protect her from a $700,000 con.

In August 2023, she was allegedly targeted via a pop-up window that falsely warned that her bank accounts were about to be hacked, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month.

Over the course of nine months, Mortellito, who suffers from age-related memory issues, was allegedly convinced by fraudsters to make a series of unusual withdrawals, totaling anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, from Merrill Lynch, TD Bank and UBS accounts, according to court papers.

Although the banks were aware she was vulnerable to scammers, they didn’t raise any alarms, the lawsuit charged.

The Post has reached out to Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, TD Bank and UBS for comment.

Robert Georges, Mortellito’s attorney, told The Post he’s inundated with bank imposter fraud cases from victims plagued with “devastation, embarrassment, confusion and upset” following the violation.

“There’s this fear about how they’re going to live without their life savings,” he added. “This is a well-known epidemic in America. All the banks are aware that this is a major problem, but we don’t feel that banks are doing a reasonable job to protect people. We’re bringing these lawsuits to hopefully effect change.”

Mortellito and her lawyer are seeking unspecified damages against the banks, whom they’re suing for negligence, The Post previously reported.

In addition to impersonating bankers in the name of fraud, ne’er-do-wells also commonly pose as customer service staffers for popular retailers, delivery service couriers or utility company workers, just to name a few.

Christopher Brown, a lawyer with the FTC’s Division of Marketing Practices, calls the swindles “sophisticated” and credits the prevalence of artificial intelligence with helping fraudsters seem legitimate.

“AI can certainly amplify the scams, making them more believable,” Brown told The Post, noting the multitude of AI-powered spoofing and voice-hijacking tools available to perps. “They’re trying to gain your trust, making you believe they are who they’re claiming to be.”

The Federal Communications Commission reports that US consumers receive approximately 4 billion spoofed calls, including automated robocalls, from money-hungry scammers each month.

To combat the crisis, the FCC recently implemented its STIR/SHAKEN framework. It’s an industry-standard caller ID authentication technology that validates the legitimacy of calls, allowing the phone company of the receiver to verify that a call is, in fact, from the number displayed on the caller ID.

Tishwash:  A mysterious visit and closed-door meetings: Trump's envoy arrives in Baghdad "secretly" and meets with prominent political leaders.

On Wednesday (October 29, 2025), journalist Hossam Al-Hajj, known for his close ties to political parties, leaked that Mark Savaya, the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, arrived in Baghdad two days prior and held a series of secret meetings with several heads of political blocs.

According to information relayed by Al-Hajj, the meetings took place away from the spotlight and had a sensitive political character, addressing the upcoming American strategy in Iraq, issues related to the American presence, elections, and regional alliances.

There has been no official confirmation yet from the US Embassy or the Iraqi government regarding the visit or details of the meetings held by the US envoy.  link

Tishwash:  The constitutional clock is ticking... A deputy announces the end date of the parliament's term and reveals the "last minute" sessions. 

Member of Parliament’s Legal Committee, Murtada al-Saadi, revealed on Wednesday (October 29, 2025) the constitutional date for the end of the current session of the House of Representatives, speaking about the possibility of holding limited sessions after the upcoming elections to complete postponed legislation.

Al-Saadi told Baghdad Today, “The current House of Representatives held its first session after taking the constitutional oath on January 9, 2022, and according to constitutional and legal procedures, it can continue to hold sessions and vote on laws until January 9, 2026, that is, after four full years of the current term.”

He explained that “this legal cover gives Parliament the authority to hold sessions, discuss draft laws, conduct readings, and ultimately vote on them,” but he ruled out “holding any new session before November 11, due to the political blocs being preoccupied with election campaigns and field activities.”

He added that “Parliament will hold only one or two sessions after the elections to decide on a group of laws that have reached advanced stages of discussion, especially those that enjoy broad political consensus,” indicating that “a number of these laws have completed the first and second reading stages and are ready to be put to a vote in the coming period.”

This clarification comes as the electoral process enters its final stages, with parliamentary work having been suspended for weeks due to political blocs being preoccupied with alliances and election campaigning. Observers predict that the current session may conclude after the approval of a limited set of laws before the start of the new session in early 2026.  link

Fed Cuts Rates to 4% as Market Liquidity Drains

Fed Cuts Rates to 4% as Market Liquidity Drains

Lena Petrova:  10-29-2025

The financial world is holding its breath as the Federal Reserve gears up for its next highly anticipated policy decision. While a quarter-point interest rate cut seems almost a foregone conclusion for many, the real story – the one with profound implications for markets and the economy – lies in what happens to the Fed’s massive balance sheet.

Specifically, all eyes are on the future of Quantitative Tightening (QT), the Fed’s quiet but powerful program of shrinking its asset portfolio. And according to recent insights, we might be on the cusp of a significant pivot away from tightening.

To understand the shift, let’s quickly recap. During times of crisis, like the 2008 financial meltdown and the C***D-19 pandemic, the Fed aggressively expanded its balance sheet, buying trillions of dollars in bonds and other assets. This “Quantitative Easing” (QE) injected massive liquidity into the system, aiming to stabilize markets and stimulate the economy.

Once the immediate crises passed and inflation became a concern, the Fed began Quantitative Tightening (QT). This involves allowing those bonds to mature without reinvesting the proceeds, effectively pulling money out of the financial system. The Fed’s balance sheet, which soared to nearly $9 trillion, has since shrunk to around $6.5 trillion. The goal: to normalize the economy after years of extraordinary stimulus.

For months, the Fed has been on autopilot with QT. But signs are emerging that the financial plumbing is getting too tight. Liquidity in short-term funding markets, where banks and financial institutions borrow from each other overnight, has been showing signs of stress. We’ve seen troubling spikes in overnight borrowing rates, indicating a scramble for cash.

With cash flowing out due to the TGA and no longer being absorbed by the RRP, the ongoing QT program is acting as a “double whammy,” further draining liquidity and making short-term markets increasingly fragile.

Against this backdrop, many economists believe the Federal Reserve will soon pause or even end its QT program. Why? To prevent a full-blown liquidity crisis and stabilize funding markets.

Ending QT would mark a subtle but powerful shift. It wouldn’t be “Quantitative Easing” (QE) – the Fed wouldn’t be actively buying assets again right away. Instead, it would be a move from actively withdrawing liquidity to a more supportive stance, ceasing the drain and allowing market conditions to normalize. This could involve adjustments to the Fed’s standing repo facility to ensure ample liquidity.

The Fed’s upcoming decision is more than just a number on interest rates. It’s a recalibration of its entire monetary strategy, impacting everything from your mortgage rates to corporate borrowing costs. It’s a testament to the complex balancing act central banks perform to keep the economic engine running smoothly.

For a deeper dive into these crucial developments, I highly recommend watching the full video from Lena Petrova, which provides further insights and context.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Evening 10-29-25

Liquidity And Balance Of Payments In Iraq Declined Over The Past Three Months.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Planning announced on Wednesday the economic indicators for the country for the first quarter of 2025.

The Central Statistical Organization of the Ministry stated in a report seen by “Al-Eqtisad News” that the most important indicators for the first quarter of 2025 indicate a decrease in merchandise imports compared to exports, which led to a decrease in the net balance of payments to reach 5.9 trillion dinars.

He added that there has been a decrease in public deposits with banks, which has led to a decline in cash liquidity, noting that total bank credit amounted to 71.3 trillion dinars.

He pointed out that the amount of electricity produced in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to 33,142,433 megawatt-hours, while the amount of imported energy amounted to 1,673,496 megawatt-hours.

The unit "megawatt-hour" means the amount of power generated or imported during the actual operating hours of the national electricity grid.     https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61721

Customs Revenues Exceed 2.15 Trillion Dinars.

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad   The Customs Authority has achieved revenues exceeding two trillion and one hundred and fifty billion dinars since the beginning of this year, with expectations that they will reach about 2.5 trillion dinars by the end of the year, according to what was confirmed by the Director General of the Authority, Thamer Qasim Al-Tai.

Al-Ta’i explained in an interview with Al-Sabah, which was followed by Al-Eqtisad News, that this large increase came as a result of adopting modern electronic systems that contributed to doubling the value of imports and improving customs work mechanisms, noting that revenues increased from one trillion dinars in 2023 to more than two trillion dinars this year, and that the complete digital transformation is the main reason for this progress.

Al-Ta’i explained that the revenues achieved will support the state budget within the government’s direction to maximize non-oil resources and support the national economy by revitalizing revenue sectors, in line with the government’s program to achieve accelerated economic and investment growth.

He pointed out that the Authority has begun amending the Customs Law, which dates back to the 1980s, to introduce the concepts of electronic work, digital declaration, and simplification of customs procedures, in order to keep pace with global technological development and contribute to facilitating trade.

Al-Ta’i said that among the most prominent steps of the electronic transformation is the adoption of the “single window” system, which links the government agencies concerned with import and export operations, in addition to the application of the global “ASYCUDA” system to facilitate procedures, reduce time and effort, and reduce corruption rates.

He stressed that the Prime Minister’s interest in the ports and customs file contributed to accelerating the steps of digital transformation and enhancing the Authority’s position as one of the most important sources of non-oil revenues, noting that full automation will reflect positively on the national economy by encouraging investment, raising performance efficiency and reducing operational costs.

In conclusion, Al-Ta’i stressed that the Authority is continuing to develop its legal and technical structure, in order to ensure transparency and smoothness in procedures and enhance the confidence of the commercial and industrial sectors in state institutions.      https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61717

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Currency — Currency Diplomacy and the Slow Shift from Dollar-Only Settlement

How FX moves and central-bank signalling are becoming diplomatic tools, and what that means for alliance economics

Overview
Currency markets are not just pricing interest rates or growth; they are being used deliberately as diplomatic signalling tools (fixes, verbal intervention, managed exchange-rate adjustments). Recent PBOC fixes and dollar moves around trade optimism show how policy and diplomacy interact in FX. FXStreet+1

Key developments

• The People’s Bank of China set a stronger USD/CNY midpoint in recent sessions, signalling support for a firmer yuan amid trade diplomacy. 

• The U.S. dollar weakened modestly as trade optimism increased, reducing some safe-haven FX demand. 

What this means for global alliances

• Instrumental currency policy: States now use FX policy to reward or discipline partners — coordinated moves (e.g., synchronized fixes or intervention) can be an instrument of alliance economics.

• Local-currency preference: As trust networks deepen, countries in the same political/economic bloc increasingly prefer settling trade in local currencies, reducing USD invoicing for aligned partners.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• Greater use of local-currency settlements and swap lines reduces transaction reliance on the USD → this is a structural shift in the plumbing of cross-border finance. 

• Central bank reference-rate management and verbal signalling become part of diplomatic toolkits: currency action is policy and diplomacy simultaneously.

Practical signals to watch

• New agreements to invoice or settle trade in local currencies (bilateral announcements).

• Expansion of central bank swap lines or regional FX stabilization facilities.

• PBOC and other major central bank midpoint/fixing behavior around high-profile diplomatic events.

Bottom line: Currency policy has become a diplomatic lever. The gradual shift toward multi-currency settlement, coordinated fixes and regional FX facilities will be a core pillar of the emerging financial architecture.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Capitals Sign Moscow Pact, Mark New Phase of De-Dollarization

How a municipal-level pact is accelerating the shift away from the dollar and reshaping global alliances

Overview
The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa + newer members) de-dollarization drive has taken a concrete step forward: on October 28, 2025 the Moscow City Duma hosted representatives from capitals and major cities of BRICS countries at a signing ceremony of a cooperation agreement aimed at reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar and building a multipolar financial system. 

Key developments

• Mayors, city council heads and parliamentary officials from BRICS member capitals gathered in Moscow to sign the agreement. Pars Today+1

• The agreement emphasises trade in local currencies, alternative cross-border payment systems and municipal diplomacy as tools to challenge Western-dominated financial structures. 

• Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak claimed Russia has shifted to local-currency settlements with China and India by 90-95%. 

What this means for global alliances

• Vertical integration of alliances: National governments are now being complemented by municipal layers of cooperation — capitals and cities aligning with national foreign-policy aims.

• New axis of trade & finance: Capitals of BRICS nations coordinating creates a parallel network of economic diplomacy outside traditional Western structures.

• Shared currency strategy: By promoting local-currency trade and payment systems, BRICS members deepen their mutual dependencies and signal a combined alternative to dollar-centric alliances.

How this accelerates financial restructuring

• The pact signals a step toward settlement systems outside the dollar-clearing architecture (SWIFT/dollar-invoiced trade).

• It strengthens the trend toward local-currency invoicing and payments, which reduces exposure to U.S. monetary policy and sanctions risk. 

• City-level diplomacy means the infrastructure of finance is being re-wired from the ground up—making the architecture of global finance more distributed and less U.S./West-centric.

Practical signals to watch

• Announcements from BRICS capitals about trade settlements in local currency or bypassing the dollar.

• Establishment of municipal or regional clearing and payments platforms tied to BRICS frameworks.

• Further coordination of policy between national and city governments in BRICS nations around de-dollarisation and finance.

Bottom line:
This isn’t just rhetorical: by institutionalising cooperation at the capital/city level, BRICS is laying a structural foundation for a multipolar financial system. The dollar remains dominant today—but the scaffolding for its alternative is being built.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Thoughts From Ariel: Iraq Update, October 28th, 2025

Ariel: Iraq Update, October 28th, 2025

Just my personal observations.

Listen, I will say this. With $100+ billion in U.S. post-war infusions think those gleaming Rafidain and Rasheed bank networks wired for SWIFT and blockchain-ready ops the stage is set.

Iraq’s CBI has been prepping their in-country redenomination (lop off three zeros from notes, so 1,000 old IQD becomes 1 new IQD) to clean up domestic inflation without shifting real value.

But internationally? Trump’s forcing a revaluation tie-in, pairing the new dinar at ~$1 USD (or 1:1) on Forex by Q 2026, making every old note redeemable at parity. Why?

Iraq owes us big oil infrastructure, military bases, frozen assets and this flips their black-market currency into a repayment machine.

No more three-decade stall; Trump’s Treasury team (led by Bessent) has backroom pacts with Baghdad’s PM Sudani, enforced via tariff threats on their $20B annual U.S. oil exports.

Banks like JPMorgan and Wells Fargo? They’re drilled for this internal memos confirm 1:1 desks ready, with FDIC greenlights for seamless swaps.

Today (Oct 2025), 1 USD buys ~1,310 old IQD. Your 100k old IQD? Worth ~$76 USD peanuts, locked in dealer spreads.

Redenomination Step (Iraq Domestic): Drops three zeros. Your 100k old IQD = 100 new IQD (face value only; no value change yet it’s like swapping 1,000 pennies for 1 dollar, same buying power in Baghdad markets).

Revalue Trigger (International/Forex): Trump’s deal sets new IQD at 1:1 USD. So 100 new IQD = $100 USD. Scaled: If you hold 100k old IQD (post-redenom: 100 new IQD), cash in for $100 USD exact parity, minus ~2% bank fees.

Now for the ~$35B in U.S.-held old dinars (Treasury vaults), this nets $35B back in greenbacks. Your stack? Direct 1:1 conversion at U.S. branches (call ahead Chase at 270 Park Ave, NYC, or BofA hubs). Iraq repays via oil-backed reserves flooding Forex liquidity; Americans cash in tax-free under Trump’s foreign-exchange amnesty (no cap gains on pre-2026 swaps). From what I was told. But this needs more study.

CBI announces redenom Jan 2026 or before; Forex relist anytime between Jan/March 2026. Even though I would never rule out Christmas. Trump’s chess: Hold their $7B frozen assets hostage till they comply equal footing with Saudi riyal, but we get paid first.

Just my personal observations.
